When it comes to building resilient, flexible, and future-ready production environments, signal processing sits at the heart of the conversation. Whether you’re working in a brick-and-mortar control room, an OB truck, or the cloud, the challenge remains the same: how best to process and transport signals to meet current demands while staying agile enough to adapt to what’s next.

That’s exactly the focus of our latest whitepaper, Navigating Modern Day Signal Processing, developed in collaboration with TV Technology. The guide was created to help broadcast engineers and technical leads cut through complexity and confidently evaluate their signal-processing strategies.

One size doesn’t fit all

Media organizations considering how to meet today’s signal processing requirements while positioning for the future have a full menu to consider.

Signal processing today can take many forms – modular, integrated, virtualized, or a hybrid of all three. Each approach brings unique strengths and trade-offs, and the right answer depends heavily on the use case, infrastructure, budget model, and workflow need.

For example, modular systems offer flexibility and ultra-low latency for niche tasks or edge deployments, and Hyperconverged platforms that consolidate switching, routing, and multiviewers into a single chassis are ideal for OB vehicles or facilities looking to reduce real estate and power consumption.

Virtualized solutions, whether on-prem or in the cloud, enable elastic scaling, remote collaboration, and access to AI-driven processing tools without investing in physical gear that might sit idle between productions.

Flexibility at the forefront

From our work with customers, we’re seeing hybrid workflows increasingly becoming the norm, not the exception. Hybrid signal processing makes it possible to add new and additional signal processing functions without a significant infrastructure upgrade or redo.

One example we discuss in Navigating Modern Day Signal Processing is a 53-foot OB trailer that adopted a hybrid signal processing model. By combining integrated infrastructure for core functions with modular components to fill capability gaps, the unit achieved a 5,000-pound weight reduction, opened space for a Dolby Atmos audio suite, and reduced power and cooling demands – without compromising on production power.
