In addition, BT is providing a full end-to-end, round-the-clock monitoring service from its International Media Operations Centre. It takes content from six playout centres, distributing it to nations and regions across the UK via two of BT’s data centres. It is the first time that cloud processing of digital terrestrial TV channels has been completed on this scale.ĭ3&4 is now using BT Media and Broadcast’s smart broadcasting network Vena to deliver digital coding and multiplexing, essentially combining multiple content streams into one before distribution regionally. Moving processing to the cloud improves overall operational efficiency, cuts costs, lowers energy consumption, and enhances flexibility for both production and distribution, they added.
The development marks a landmark move away from legacy hardware to a smart broadcast network, said the companies. The project involved BT switching on start-to-finish cloud processing for regionalised TV content across all of D3&4’s Freeview channels – ready for distribution to 28 regions across the UK. BT and Digital 3&4 (D3&4) have worked together to move processing for ITV and Channel 4’s terrestrial Freeview channels into the cloud.ĭ3&4 is a joint venture company established by ITV and Channel 4 which operates a multiplex broadcasting from a number of transmitter sites in the UK.
