Report Highlights
Traditional physical workflows, affectionately known as ' sneakernet' by some in the industry, are being rapidly transitioned to digital ' tapeless' -based workflows. This transition creates a variety of enterprise-wide benefits for broadcasters, including a reduction in OpEx, a reduction in production times and enhanced repurposing opportunities.
The broadcast value chain market is expected to see significant growth over the coming years as broadcasters look to upgrade their equipment to handle file-based workflows and HD content.
