Description du projet
La virtualisation pour une production efficace des médias en direct
Le marché du contenu en direct est en plein essor à l’échelle mondiale, tandis que les consommateurs demandent toujours plus de services et de produits. L’industrie des médias et du divertissement cherche des moyens de réduire ses coûts de production et d’accroître son efficacité. Le projet VIRTUOSA, financé par l’UE, propose la virtualisation pour rendre la production de médias plus efficace, facilement évolutive et moins coûteuse. VIRTUOSA transformera la production de médias en direct grâce à une nouvelle génération de réseaux de médias basés sur la technologie IP, la technologie des réseaux définis par logiciel (SDN), le calcul haute performance et l’informatique en nuage. Cette solution permettra de réduire les coûts de production jusqu’à 40 % tout en produisant davantage de contenu en direct. Le projet testera et évaluera le produit VIRTUOSA, afin de préparer son lancement et sa commercialisation.
Objectif
VIRTUOSA addresses the needs of the Media & Entertainment (M&E) industry to increase efficiency and reduce cost for
media production to meet the growing consumer demand for more content on more channels and more devices and for
more live content. Live content is of cultural and social interest for all citizen in Europe and globally; these are sport or music
events, daily news, governmental speeches or historical events. The market for Live content is huge and predicted to reach
globally USD 545 bn with the clear majority (66%) coming from broadcast Live TV.
VIRTUOSA will revolutionise live media production through Virtualisation of network and production resources. It is a new
generation of media networks based on cutting-edge IP technology, Software-Defined Networking (SDN) technology, High
Performance Computing, and Cloud Computing.
Virtualisation is the key to make live media production more efficient, easy scalable and cost-efficient. It enables sharing
production facilities, equipment, resources, and talents across locations with >1000 km in distance . Live media production
costs will be reduced by 30-40%, and more Live content can be easily produced in parallel.
Objective of the VIRTUOSA project is to demonstrate and validate our new VIRTUOSA product in operational environment
and to complete commercial and production preparations for product launch within this 24-month project.
Our VIRTUOSA product consists of three core elements: 1) A tailor-made Software Defined Network Architecture solution for
SDN-based LAN & WAN and 5G acquisition, 2) High performance SDN-based Media Server and Ethernet/IP switches, and
3) a Software for Media Network Management and self-Service Orchestration. According to the need of our end-users –
broadcasters, content producers, media service providers – we design tailor-made solutions for installation at their facilities
with and without the connection to remote locations (remote studio, stadium, event).
