NewTek asks where remote production is going in 2022
By Jamie G
Liam Hayter, senior solutions architect, NewTek talked with SVG Europe about the remote production in 2022 and one important thing he notes is “Broadcasters and production companies have been experimenting with remote production for over five years now. The move to IP was already underway, and cloud, and now distributed workflows, are becoming established in other sectors of the broadcast industry, especially around editing and MAM.”
Since COVID-19, the broadcast industry had to turn to remote production to keep industry alive. Check out some important things Hayter says about the future of remote production.
Remote production costs less, is more sustainable, and offers unparalleled operational flexibility. In fact, one of the consistent things that we have seen across the broadcast market is that the quality of experience for the viewer improves. Companies can either centralise resources in production hubs and use them more often, or take the savings and increase coverage quality, for instance with UHD over HD.

Productions that maximise their use of advanced software-defined tools, cloud, and modern networking connectivity will gain an advantage over their rivals with agile deployments. Not only will broadcasters have a competitive edge, but they will futureproof workflows and be able to navigate whatever challenges arise in the future. However, to fully benefit from these advances moves should be made now to avoid falling behind. We’ve seen the reaction to keep content live throughout the pandemic. If the incentive is strong enough, progress can be surprisingly swift; it just needs to be a priority.
