Takeaways from Broadcast AV Power Hour: Managing Bandwidth when Streaming Video

In our May Broadcast AV Power Hour, David Maldow from Let's Do Video engaged in an insightful discussion with Nicole Lewis of Netgear, Jesse Miller of Midtown Video, Paul Richards of PTZOptics, and Aaron Tunnell of Ross Video. The conversation centered around practical strategies for managing video streaming resources, focusing on understanding codecs and compression standards, implementing network segmentation with VLANs, and assessing network speeds. These strategies aim to optimize bandwidth, enhance network performance, and deliver high-quality video. Below are some of their key recommendations:

• Start with the Content: Determine the quality required based on your content needs.
• Infrastructure Planning: Design your infrastructure with future growth in mind.
• Segregated Networks: Ideally, maintain a private network dedicated to audio and video.
• Build for Redundancy: Ensure your system has backup solutions in place.
• Network Security: Incorporate robust security measures to protect your network.
