With a fixed amount of money to spend each year, they must deliver more content, cover more events, and reach more audiences without the proportionate increase in funding.
This emphasis on efficiency is not just about cutting costs; it is about rethinking how resources are allocated and utilised. For instance, traditional broadcast environments have historically been largely static, with dedicated equipment for specific tasks. However, the need to reconfigure workflows quickly and efficiently has become paramount. Solutions that allow for dynamic reconfiguration, such as Haivision’s broadcast contribution ecosystem, offer a way to achieve this flexibility.
