Enter REMI production , which can deliver dramatic savings in terms of expenditure, resources and personnel. Although implementations certainly vary, REMI video production has a core concept at its heart: to take all workflow and production aspects away from the broadcast location other than those required by the actual content capture. With IP connectivity, cloud and, increasingly, 5G networks as enabling technologies, REMI video production makes it often possible to send only a few people out on the road. With all of the core production work taking place at the main broadcast facility, the result is a significantly more streamlined approach to non-studio-oriented filming.
The impact of REMI video production is especially clear to see in sports, where media companies are always fighting increasing demands and spiraling costs. Ever since the modern sports rights landscape took shape in the early 2000s, sports producers have been expected to cover more events and produce more coverage from the same events. Needless to say, this development has not necessarily been accompanied by a rise in budgets. In fact, over time, many production teams have been faced with real-time cuts in funding as the advertising landscape has become more uncertain. So viewed in this context, it was inevitable that REMI sports production would be seized upon as an approach with a massive transformative potential.
To a large degree, this potential has already been realized – both in the way that existing coverage is being made more cost-efficient, and in the ability to channel some spare or unused resources to report on additional events. The impact of REMI production on Tier 1 events is especially marked. Rather than risk lots of equipment being delayed en route or tied-up during transport between venues, you need to send only what is required – both in terms of equipment and crew – to each venue.
With this one change of approach, REMI sports production allows you to remove a whole level of stress from the production process associated with traffic congestion and transport failure. REMI video production also makes it possible to greatly reduce on-site production costs, including accommodation and catering.
Another great advantage for sports of REMI production is that – with Tier 1 events covered more cost-efficiently – there are likely to be more resources to cover Tier 1 and 2 events. The democratization of sports coverage has been a big trend in recent years. Sports fans want to be able to watch the smaller tournaments and lower-league events as much as the international spectaculars. The agile and streamlined workflows of REMI sport production bring that into the realms of possibility for many existing broadcasters – as well as the new-generation streamers, for whom costs are likely to be even more critical. The end-result is that, in many ways, sports fans have never had more choice of quality content thanks to REMI video production.
With its portfolio of products that are suitable for REMI video production and live production, Net Insight is enabling cutting-edge production workflows for numerous stakeholders in broadcast and media, including production companies, rights owners, service providers, corporate content producers and eSports organizations.
Our solutions that can be used as part of REMI production applications include:
In a world where best effort is the norm, we created the Nimbra platform to enable REMI video production with ultra-reliable broadcast-grade long-distance media networking across any infrastructure. It provides the flexibility to manage different events and network monetization and adjust to changing needs with simple remote reconfiguration. Adjusting the video compression, bandwidth usage and other core parameters is also straightforward.
The Net Insight Nimbra platform provides lossless media transport over any type of infrastructure, giving you the peace of mind to focus on your content.
Described as a ‘media on-ramp to cloud infrastructure’. Nimbra Edge is a cloud-based media platform built for users who want to reduce their network complexity and connect, manage and consume content easily anywhere. Net Insight has also developed an ROI tool that simulates the benefits of Nimbra Edge.
Designed for low latency broadcast-quality video transport, the Nimbra 400 solution allows you to re-invent your network, and establish REMI video production workflows. Designed for maximum versatility and flexibility, the Nimbra 400 constitutes the optimal approach for live media internet transport.
World’s largest alliance of public service media organisation
Since 2004, when the EBU selected Net Insight’s Nimbra platform, the EUROVISION Fibre Network (FiNE) has evolved with Net Insight’s latest products and features.
The EUROVISION satellite and fibre network is one of the largest and most rock solid in the world. It delivers more than 80,000 hours of programming every year, the majority of which is live sports. Its undisputed reputation for flexibility and reliability is reflected in the prestigious events it regularly carries on the EUROVISION network.
WHITE PAPER
As cloud production becomes an integral part of broadcasters’ live workflows, the corresponding cloud infrastructure becomes an integral part of the media transport network.
