Broadcast infrastructure gaining popularity with the rise in number of subscription-based OTT platforms

 

Broadcast Infrastructure Market

In a world where bandwidth is a limited resource, the broadcast infrastructure provides a substantial backbone for the Internet. It is low-cost, universally available, and offers significant downstream data transport capacity. The broadcast plant is especially well-suited as a transport component in a client-server architecture, where client requests tend to be small and responses are larger. Thus, it has great potential to enhance the existing means of delivering internet resources.

The broadcast plant is comprised of large-scale broadcast systems that acquire, process, normalize, and support baseband workflows. These systems are located in the multimedia datacenters of DSS. It also includes systems and software. The broadcast plant enables DSS to provide quality broadcasts to viewers around the world. So, while these systems are vital to the DSS live ecosystem, they are not without risk.

During the shift from analog to digital technology, the broadcast plant required interconnected and scalable components. Broadcast plant components must operate simultaneously without degrading image quality. In response to this challenge, broadcasters started adopting a "building block" approach.  They could also use the same technology to integrate different technologies into the broadcast plant. With a modern broadcast plant, broadcasters no longer need to upgrade or replace outdated equipment. Increasing adoption of IPTV and HDTV is boosting the adoption of broadcast infrastructure. Broadband proliferation is driving on-demand consumer viewing and subscription-based OTT platforms.

Live video services are increasingly popular with consumers, and they require fast network access to several connected devices. The largest live streaming platform in India, Hotstar, is a prime example of this technology.  Broadcast Infrastructure solutions are capable of storing and accessing these contents at a moment's notice, and they are able to repurpose them for various purposes.
