“We also developed options to put some functionality like the archive and disaster recovery playout into the cloud. “Armed with our experience with IP and our strong technical relationship with Imagine, we decided that our first step was to develop an on-premises solution for the RSNs,” said Roberts. The Atlanta, Georgia-based facility was built in partnership with Encompass with Imagine’s Versio™ integrated playout platform, Selenio™ Network Processors and Magellan™ SDNO control system at the core. Following its 2019 acquisition of regional sports networks from Fox/Disney, Sinclair had to quickly develop a new playout strategy and decided to build an IP-based facility from the ground up to serve as a future-proof hub for the new RSNs. This is change management as much as technology.”Ī powerful advocate of the SMPTE ST 2110 family of standards, Sinclair has a long history in collaborating with Imagine Communications to develop IP playout and production systems. We can’t just flip a switch we have to redefine how the business works. “The transition to IP and the cloud is transformative. “We have to start from good user engagement, to understand what will change at each step,” Roberts said. “This transition cannot be a simple lift and shift of legacy systems it is the opportunity to take a fresh look at the way a broadcaster operates,” stated Roberts. These include a new 25,000-square-foot, SMPTE ST 2110 media operations center for Sinclair’s regional sports networks (RSNs) with cloud-hosted disaster recovery channels, and a large-scale ST 2110 production facility for its Tennis Channel featuring a cloud-based environment for pop-up live special events all built around Imagine Communications infrastructure and playout platforms.ĭon Roberts, VP of sports engineering and production systems at Sinclair Broadcast Group, makes the point that both business and technical requirements are driving Sinclair’s transition to IP connectivity and software-defined architectures and particularly cloud deployment. Sinclair Broadcast Group continues to lead the industry’s transition to the future of television, developing innovative solutions to meet its requirements for channel playout and live broadcasting.
