Broadcast audio is rapidly evolving from fixed, hardware\u2011heavy infrastructures to flexible, IP\u2011 and cloud\u2011enabled workflows. Today\u2019s engineers are expected to cover more content, respond faster, and deliver greater precision\u2014often with fewer resources, less space, and tighter budgets.<\/p>\n
This session explores how networked audio, cloud\u2011based management, digitally steerable coverage, and integrated DSP are being deployed across live entertainment, award shows, talk formats, and unscripted programming. By shifting key control, monitoring, and configuration tasks into the cloud, production teams can simplify system management while improving visibility and consistency across venues and shows.<\/p>\n
In recent live broadcasts and capture sessions, digital microphone arrays formed the foundation of the audience capture strategy, delivering increased spatial detail while significantly reducing the total number of deployed microphones, cabling, and rack hardware. These same approaches translate directly to panel discussions and reality formats, where speed, flexibility, and repeatability are critical.<\/p>\n
Attendees will gain practical insight from real\u2011world productions into how IP\u2011 and cloud\u2011enabled solutions reduce on\u2011site equipment requirements, save rack space, lower transportation and logistics costs, and streamline system deployment and management\u2014from initial setup through final delivery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[],"show-type":[],"show-year":[],"track":[98],"level":[79],"session_tag":[90,108,96],"class_list":["post-18912","session","type-session","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"friendlyid":"SESS-1060","friendlyidraw":"1060","sessionid":"603f3aad-8d3f-4272-9af0-cc25b636493b","sessiontitle":"Rethinking Audio Capture in Broadcast: IP and Cloud\u2011Enabled Workflows for Flexible Coverage","starttime":"April, 19 2026 11:15:00","endtime":"April, 19 2026 11:45:00","room":{"id":"a6218c7b-169d-4fb4-b0ea-e272f98568fa","name":"W2457: VideoNext Theater"},"conferenceid":"SRE2","track":{"id":"bbea2006-6489-454f-be26-db7208c9dc02","name":"VideoNext Theater"},"level":{"id":"69e954fa-a685-40a8-8234-b7ea4fb04075","name":"Show Floor"},"tags":[{"id":"97ad12ca-a155-42a5-b790-00606ed22b56","name":"Distribution and IP-Based Workflows"},{"id":"b797064b-c5a1-49fc-85db-d8c9a7082213","name":"Immersive Tech (AR\/VR\/XR)"},{"id":"bce51969-e454-46bf-80b7-7c9d4a5b2688","name":"Journalism, News and TV"}],"description":"
