Church Production Magazine: For over two decades, SDI has been the professional standard for transferring high-quality video and audio signal within broadcast and live production environments. As the need to transmit higher resolutions over longer distances has become a necessity, technology has likewise evolved. Currently, two prominent IP protocols are fighting for supremacy in video-over-IP: 1.) SMPTE ST2110, developed by the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers, and 2.) NDI, by NewTek. These technologies represent a major step forward in the way church tech and broadcast ministries will fulfill their calling in the coming years.

The most interesting thing to me in this article was the mention at the end that Audinate announced that they’re rolling out video compatibility with Dante a few weeks ago. That could have really big implications for media designers, especially as Dante spreads everywhere because of the demand in sound. That aside, VoIP in general is definitely where the industry is going I think, unless it gets run over before it’s off the ground by wireless, which is conceivable. It wouldn’t entirely surprise me if everything goes wireless in the next twenty years, its generally quicker and it’s more user friendly to set up; I would still be a little surprised though, seeing as it’s not as transparent to troubleshoot when things go wrong and its more vulnerable to interference, not to mention that wires feel more reliable to most people. Outside of a total wireless takeover, I think VoIP, especially if it’s well integrated with systems like Dante AV, will become increasingly ubiquitous and open up new possibilities for cheap and quick implementations of increasingly complex AV systems.
