Robert Erickson

Grass Valley, a Belden brand

Robert Erickson is the IP Evangelist for Grass Valley, a Belden Brand. A member of the Grass Valley team since 2008, he has more than 19 years of experience in the broadcast and IT markets with previous roles covering systems engineering, television station management, broadcast network design and RF transmission systems. Throughout his career, his focus has been on designing and maintaining infrastructure and playout systems based on new and emerging technologies for both existing and greenfield broadcast facilities. In his current role, Robert is a participant in the Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS) and advocates for proper implementation of current and emerging broadcast standards on live production equipment. He spends much of his time engaging with customers to educate them on emerging IP technologies and trains internal staff on how IP technology drives different system designs. He also designs and manages IP POC (proof of concept) systems for customers worldwide, testing and implementing solutions based on a diverse product line—including cameras, servers, routers, multiviewers, various processing nodes, and VM-based software solutions. Robert is an active participant and frequent presenter in many of the major industry associations, including the Society of Broadcast Engineers (SBE), Society of Television Engineers (STE), Society of Motion Pictures and Television Engineers (SMPTE) and Hollywood Post Alliance (HPA).

Abstract

Out of the science fair and into the real world- after years of successfully installing and maintaining IP based infrastructures, Tektronix and Grass Valley present an overview of how to implement, maintain, and diagnose SMPTE... [ view full abstract ]

Grass Valley - Throughout 2017 we have seen multiple facilities adopt commercial off the shelf (COTS) based IP infrastructure to meet their current and future needs. This rapid adoption of technology has had more than a few success stories, along with lessons learned on how to deploy these emerging technologies. Some deployments have gone technically smooth and the challenges ended up being workflow related, other deployments ended up being technically arduous while the supported workflows were successfully implemented. This presentation is set to address what market trends have coalesced to enable deployment of this technology, what markets have adopted IP successfully into their workflow and what lessons have been learned throughout. If your facility is considering an IP infrastructure to replace an aging baseband topology, you will want to join this interactive presentation to study and understand what has been learned through the early adoptions. The benefits, approach and pitfalls to avoid for a successful deployment will be discussed. – Robert Erickson, Grass Valley a Belden Brand

Tektronix - Will also take a look at the basic structure of the packets for ST 2110 and ST 2059 how variable delay across the network introduces jitter at the receiver and how measurements can be made on the stream. These new technologies bring new methodologies for monitoring and diagnosis solutions. Measurement of the integrity of both paths is important and we will look at ways of monitoring the signal paths. Latency and over subscription in the network can produce out of order packets or corruption of the data causing packets to be dropped. Therefore it is important to monitor the stream to ensure an error free network to ensure transmission of the High Bit Rate Media and how these errors affect the actual video and audio signal. – Karl Kuhn, Tektronix
