This use case is based on multi-camera audio and video production in a professional environment. It will aim to replicate existing technologies, such as COFDM radio cameras, in terms of performance and capabilities using 5G technology. Furthermore, UC2 focuses on exploring multi-location scenarios with production facilities local to an event as well as remote and distributed production models. In some additional scenarios, it is expected to integrate 5G-based contribution solutions using different types of network configuration to provide contribution links into production centers.
This will create opportunities for media companies to face the continuous challenge of producing more content with fewer resources along with the automation of some of their processes, reaching new ways to increase efficiency and effectiveness in production. Based on 5G, the wireless IP component is key to improving technical and operational efficiency, increasing flexibility and reducing production costs.
Under this scenario, 5G NPNs play a key role in enabling a self-operated environment not dependent on the network conditions of any underlying MNO. The scenario also envisages the potential of making 5G-enabled equipment able to be transparently used under NPN and public networks and even move between them seamlessly during productions and while continuing transmitting, thus maximising the interoperability between different systems and components with the commonality of an IP-based infrastructure.
