Tech Papers 2023: In this paper, a dedicated 5G network is used to enable remote, low-latency, high-quality streaming for reality show cameras, reducing cabling and supporting scalable, energy-efficient setups.
Abstract
Reality show productions require many wired cameras to cover all the house and camera operators usually work on dark rooms, capturing the images through mirrors. In order to improve reliability and security, this project counted on a 5G Standalone Non-Public Network(S-NPN) dedicated to the reality show. The use of 5G made it feasible to reduce video cables and control the cameras remotely. The 5G solution empowered 2 cameras with SRT protocol and HEVC codec resulting on 80 Mbps of upload and 6 frames glass-to-glass delay. The high video quality and low delay solution allowed the coexistence of 5G connected cameras with wired cameras. The future vision is to scale the solution for more cameras, seek to downsize the solution, for a lighter weight, low energy consumption and use of 5G as connectivity for new applications.
