"Knowing that going digital can produce benefits is one thing. Knowing how it can be achieved in a way that produces maximum results, whilst at the same time remaining flexible and open, is another. Many broadcasters are starting to connect their production islands to allow the easy sharing of content. This is all very well; however, the real benefit is found in not only connecting, but truly integrating these production islands. Only then can real optimizations take place.

We will take a closer look at these trends and with the help of best practices, cover the essential steps to achieve maximum flexibility and results. One of these essentials is the use of Middleware, as recommended by the EBU in their 2005 Middleware Report (EBU - Tech 3300 - The Middleware Report, February 2005). We will take a look at this concept and cover practical points of how to make it a reality."
