Some radio broadcasters are anticipating their deployment of broadcast software as part or most of their virtualized studio and broadcast infrastructure. A few radio stations and radio networks have already moved to a largely virtualized infrastructure while others are beginning the process now. The virtues of virtualization have been the topic of several dozen professional presentations ranging from manufacturers’ revelations to scholarly presentations.
With several systems on-air now, it’s time to ask, “How is working with virtualized broadcast systems either different from or similar to traditional broadcast gear?”
In this webinar, we’ll get a feel for how these virtualized broadcast systems work together, and with real humans, to make great-sounding radio shows. We’ll hear from engineers and on-air talent about their virtualized systems. And we’ll ask and answer questions about the future of broadcast infrastructure. Of course, we’ll leave room for your own questions and answers.
