Deluxe Entertainment Services’ MediaCloud platform has successfully broadcast live 4K video between Europe and North America at over 500Mbps using the Internet, delivering what it claims is 100% uptime and availability.
The video is delivered using Deluxe’s software-based Broadcast Delivery Network (BDN), which recently delivered live NFL games including the Super Bowl, across Europe.
“This is a significant development for broadcasters, content owners or any rights holder moving live video signals across continents,” says Alec Stichbury, CTO at Deluxe MediaCloud. “As a whole, the industry is constantly battling with delivering increasingly higher bitrate formats at lower costs, like when moving from SD to HD, and now from HD to 4K. Using the public internet, Deluxe’s BDN provides a highly secure, lower cost solution at a higher quality and without the bandwidth limitations of traditional satellite or fixed fibre transport mechanisms.”
The broadcast signal, which is encoded using HEVC 4K at a video frame rate of 30p, leaves a Deluxe MediaCloud European facility on diverse ISP’s using multi-pathing technology and delivering a total data load of 106Mbps. The signal then transverses Deluxe MediaCloud’s private data centres and is delivered on dual ISP’s into the GDMX facility then to Deluxe locations in North America for consumption.
Beyond the lab, Deluxe has deployed 4K streaming in production as part of a live colour grading session between studios in Europe and North America.
