At Singapore Polytechnic (SP), the backbone of its advanced video production and streaming infrastructure is powered by NETGEAR network switches, ensuring seamless connectivity and high-speed data transfer across the campus. This network backbone supports a wide array of applications, from real-time video production to live event streaming, providing SP with the ability to execute complex multimedia tasks with ease.
Ideal Systems provided the design, supply, installation, testing, and commissioning of a state-of-the-art NDI Video Production and Streaming System for SP. This cutting-edge system integrates seamlessly into SP's network infrastructure, leveraging NETGEAR's high-performance switches to ensure that video cameras, audio equipment, streaming servers, and other devices are all efficiently connected with minimal latency.
The NETGEAR network backbone forms the core of SP’s digital ecosystem, interconnecting critical components such as the Event Hall, Event Laboratory, and Main Control Room. One of the key features of this backbone is its reliability. In live video production, particularly during events or broadcasts, even a slight delay or interruption can compromise the quality of the broadcast. NETGEAR switches are designed to handle the large bandwidth demands of live video streaming and media production, ensuring smooth data transmission without disruption.
With strategic placement of edge switches in various locations, including the Event Hall and Main Control Room, the backbone guarantees that video and audio signals are routed correctly, providing high-quality, real-time streaming. This robust networking infrastructure is essential in supporting SP's NDI-based live video production system, enabling efficient communication between all networked devices while optimizing video and audio output for live events and educational purposes.
By utilizing NETGEAR's state-of-the-art networking technology and the expertise of Ideal Systems, SP Polytechnic strengthens its position as a hub for innovation, allowing students and faculty to engage in innovation multimedia production and learning experiences.
