Abstract: With the media industry moving from SDI to IP, software-defined networking (SDN) has become essential to manage routing of uncompressed and compressed signals across switch fabrics and media networks. With a variety of standards, best practices, and specifications, naturally different solutions are available, from bespoke and vendor-specific SDN controllers to open-source ICT-centric tools. As every customer also uses different infrastructure and has different needs, there is no one-size-fits-all SDN orchestration solution. — This paper discusses a case study of an Italian telecommunications and broadcast company moving from SDI to IP to manage uncompressed ST2110, ST2022-6, and compressed transport streams across a converged, capacity-constrained network based on Arista and Cisco switch fabrics. This requires an SDN solution to manage and monitor a multi-format, multi-vendor, and multi-site environment. The focus is on orchestrating resources, network capacity, and technical and operational workflows dynamically while hiding the underlying complexity from operators. — This deployment also marked the start of a company-wide digital transformation to continuously evolve business models and support new technologies and workflows required in the future. As such, this media-specific project was maximally aligned with general industry-standard Digital Transformation architectures and objectives and is intended to adhere to the standard ICT principles for Agile data-driven operations.
