Collaborative Initiative: EBU and AMWA Establish Joint Task Force for Dynamic Media Infrastructure Development
The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and Advanced Media Workflow Association (AMWA) have announced the formation of the Joint Task Force on Dynamic Media Facilities (JT-DMF). This council aims to shape the future of broadcasting by focusing on more flexible and efficient media production environments.
The JT-DMF will be composed of leadership from both the EBU and AMWA, with members forming workgroups that will make up the task force. These groups will work together to address a set of exciting challenges for the industry, leveraging AMWA's expertise in media workflows and Networked Media Open Specifications (NMOS).
One of the key areas of focus for the JT-DMF will be the Media eXchange Layer (MXL). The council will work on developing timing models for the MXL SDK open-source project, with the goal of improving media production efficiency. The JT-DMF will also support the MXL SDK, ensuring its continued development and adoption.
Phil Tudor, head of applied research at BBC R&D, and Félix Poulin, director of global Innovation collaborations at CBC/Radio-Canada, both express their support and enthusiasm for the JT-DMF. Tudor believes the council will bring together a wealth of experience to ensure the next wave of live production infrastructure benefits both users and vendors. Poulin expresses optimism about the JT-DMF, stating it will be at the forefront of emerging technology and a pivotal step in the industry's evolution towards more flexible, efficient media production environments.
In addition to addressing orchestration challenges, the JT-DMF will also establish a business-level advisory council. This council will provide guidance on industry-specific needs and help ensure the JT-DMF's work aligns with the broader goals of the media industry.
The JT-DMF is expected to play a significant role in the industry's evolution towards more efficient media production environments. By bringing together vendors, end-users, and systems integrators to discuss Dynamic Media Facilities, the JT-DMF is anticipated to bring benefits to both users and vendors in the live production infrastructure sector.
The council, known as the Joint Task Force on Dynamic Media Facilities, is expected to be at the forefront of the industry's evolution, addressing challenges and shaping the future of broadcasting. Further member organizations, besides the European Broadcasting Union and the Advanced Media Workflow Association, are not explicitly mentioned in the available information. However, the collaboration between these two influential organizations is a promising step towards a more efficient and adaptable media production landscape.
