whitePaper | October 6, 2022

As part of the ongoing transition to Internet Protocol (IP) networks for media workflows, the media and entertainment industry has developed new IP standards for transporting broadcast signals. This white paper offers guidance to help broadcasters and media organizations transition to IP, and demystifies common misconceptions when using the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) 2110 standards and associated IP infrastructure. It provides details explaining why organizations transition from traditional Serial Digital Interface (SDI) to IP workflows using SMPTE 2110 standards and covers important topics related to workflow design, synchronization, and clocking, including relevant standards to support uncompressed contribution. It also provides details around Networked Media Open Specifications (NMOS) registration and discovery on an IP network.

Media and entertainment companies are developing and integrating new technologies, as well as creating content that is seen by millions and generates billions in global revenue. But behind the systems that enable digital animators to bring dinosaurs to life (at least on screen) or empower users to share their dreams with the world, are companies that need innovative tools to help them boost productivity, ROI, and collaboration.

It has been more than a year since the world woke up to the news of the new SARS-COV-2 virus. What followed was the largest global health crisis in 100 years. The disruptions to every aspect of society have been profound. Logistics and supply chain management have played a vital role in pandemic management right from the start to ensure the availability and distribution of key pandemic management tools: medicines and medical supplies, such as vaccines, test kits, ancillary supplies, treatments, and personal protective equipment (PPE). With over 200 million doses of all approved vaccines distributed to over 120 countries and 9,000 operated flights in which more than 350 DHL facilities were involved, DHL was part of the response strategy from the beginning.

The Metaverse is on everyone's lips. After all, it is being treated as the successor to the Internet. Companies around the world are investing millions in its development. But so far it is unclear whether the preferences of people from different parts of the world about the Metaverse coincide or diverge. Therefore, over 1,500 people from Germany, the US and China were surveyed about their preferences in using the Metaverse. The results are presented in this whitepaper. The causal justification of these results is not the focus of the whitepaper. In addition, an introductory overview of relevant functions and technologies is given and, following the survey results, it is shown what impact the Metaverse can have on companies' business models and innovation processes and how they can approach the Metaverse

The Internet of Things (IoT) brings the promise of new possibilities, but to unlock them, organizations must change how they think about data. With the emergence of IoT, there is a new class of applications that processes streaming data from sensors and devices that are spread around the globe. In theory, the solution is simple: turn massive amounts of data into real-time insights by immediately processing and analyzing it in a continuous and infinite fashion. However, managing streaming IoT data is not that simple. Legacy infrastructure is not made to support IoT data streaming from millions of data sources with varying datatypes. The world of streaming IoT requires a shift to the world of real-time applications consuming continuous and infinite streams.
