What Is The Difference Between CDN & P2P Streaming?

When it comes to streaming media content, there are two main methods that are commonly used – content delivery networks (CDN) and peer-to-peer (P2P) streaming. While both methods have the same end goal of delivering content to the viewer, they differ significantly in terms of how they operate. In this post, we will explore the differences between CDN and P2P streaming.

First, let’s start with an overview of CDN. A CDN is a network of servers that are distributed across the globe, with the purpose of delivering content to users in the most efficient way possible. When a user requests content, the CDN server closest to the user’s location will deliver the content, which ensures faster load times and improved user experience. CDN can handle large volumes of users without any loss of quality, making it ideal for live streaming events and popular video on demand (VOD) content.

On the other hand, P2P streaming operates on a different model. Rather than relying on a centralized server, P2P streaming leverages the collective resources of viewers to distribute content. In this model, viewers who are watching the content simultaneously become part of the distribution network. As they watch, they also upload parts of the content to other viewers, making the content available to stream without the need for a centralized server.

One of the key benefits of P2P streaming is that it can handle large volumes of users without the need for expensive server infrastructure. This makes it ideal for smaller content creators and platforms with limited resources. Additionally, P2P streaming can be more resilient to traffic spikes and network disruptions, as the content is distributed across a large number of viewers.

However, P2P streaming also has some downsides. For instance, it can suffer from latency issues, as the content is distributed across multiple viewers, rather than being served directly from a centralized server. Additionally, P2P streaming can be more difficult to manage and monitor than traditional CDN streaming, as content is distributed across multiple sources.

Both CDN and P2P streaming have their own unique advantages and disadvantages. CDN is ideal for large-scale streaming events and popular VOD content, while P2P streaming is better suited for smaller content creators and platforms with limited resources. Ultimately, the choice between CDN and P2P streaming will depend on the specific needs of the content creator or platform.

Show up and Show out

I love when reading even one line, I’m inspired. The following is the result. Hopefully, some inspiration for you too. Please ~ Share it, Like it, Comment – it’s free!

“Show up and show out” is a powerful phrase that can inspire us to take action, to face challenges head-on, and to exceed expectations. It’s a call to courage, an invitation to step out of our comfort zone, and an acknowledgement that we have the potential to do great things.

But what does it really mean to show up and show out? Let’s break it down.

First, showing up means being present, both physically and mentally. It means showing up to work, to school, to meetings, to appointments, and to life in general. It means being reliable, dependable, and trustworthy. It means being there for others when they need us, and being willing to lend a helping hand.

Showing up also means facing whatever comes our way, even if it’s difficult or uncomfortable. It means being willing to confront our fears, to challenge our assumptions, and to learn from our mistakes. It means being resilient in the face of adversity, and refusing to give up when things get tough.

Second, showing out means surpassing expectations, excelling, and shining in ways others didn’t think were possible. It means bringing our A-game, and putting forth our best effort. It means going above and beyond what’s expected of us, and pushing ourselves to achieve more than we ever thought possible.

Showing out is about having the courage to be ourselves, to express our unique talents and abilities, and to make a positive impact on the world around us. It’s about taking risks, trying new things, and daring to dream big.

So why is it important to show up and show out? For one, it can help us grow and develop as individuals. When we show up, we gain experience, knowledge, and skills that can help us in the future. When we show out, we build confidence, self-esteem, and a sense of accomplishment that can inspire us to do even more.

Showing up and showing out can also have a positive impact on those around us. When we show up, we demonstrate our commitment, dedication, and loyalty. When we show out, we inspire others to do the same, and we create a culture of excellence, where everyone is encouraged to strive for their best.

“Show up and Show out” is more than just a catchy phrase. It’s a call to action, a reminder of our potential, and an invitation to be our best selves. So let’s embrace it, let’s live it, and let’s show the world what we’re capable of.

What Is Forking Edit Material?

Sounds like I’m trying to avoid cursing – right? Wellllll in a very adjacent way, I may be, but that’s not what I’m talking about.

Forking is a term used in video editing that refers to creating multiple versions or copies of a project or sequence as a way to save different versions of the same information. This is typically done to give editors the flexibility to experiment with different approaches to a project without losing any of their original work.

When forking information, an editor will create a new sequence or project that is a copy of the original. This allows them to make changes to the copy without affecting the original. They can then experiment with different edits, transitions, and effects in the copy, and compare the results to the original to see which approach works best.

Forking can also be used as a way to save different versions of a project at different stages of the editing process. For example, an editor may create a fork of a project when they are halfway through the editing process, and then create another fork when they are close to completing the project. This allows them to go back to earlier versions of the project if they need to make changes or try a different approach.

By forking information, editors can save time and avoid the risk of losing their work. They can experiment with different approaches to a project without affecting the original, and keep multiple versions of a project at different stages of the editing process. This can be particularly useful when working on complex projects with many different elements that need to be coordinated and integrated into the final product.

Okkkk. How do you successfully fork a project?

Since the Fork copy is often used for making changes or testing new edits without affecting the original project.

To successfully and efficiently perform forking in video editing, there are a few best practices to keep in mind:

  1. Choose the right video editing software: There are many video editing software tools available, such as Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, and DaVinci Resolve. Choose the software that best fits your needs and has the features you require.
  2. Keep forking to a minimum: While forking can be useful, it can also lead to confusion and version control issues. Only fork when necessary, and try to keep the number of forks to a minimum.
  3. Keep forks up-to-date: If you do create a fork, it’s important to keep it up-to-date with the original video project. This ensures that any changes made to the original video are reflected in the fork.
  4. Use duplicate sequences: Instead of forking, consider using duplicate sequences to make changes to your video project. Duplicate sequences allow you to work on a separate copy of the project without creating a new project file.
  5. Collaborate effectively: If you’re working with others on a forked video project, make sure you’re collaborating effectively. Use tools like shared project files and version control to ensure that changes are properly reviewed and tested before being merged back into the main project.

By following these best practices, forking can be a powerful tool for video editing. It allows editors to experiment with new edits and make changes without affecting the original project, while still maintaining an up-to-date copy of the project.

Job Seeking in Broadcasting (this really applies to many industries)

Are you tired of seeing job postings that seem impossible to qualify for? You’re not alone. As someone who receives countless requests for help to break into the broadcasting industry, I’ve seen my fair share of job descriptions that require years of experience or advanced degrees for entry-level positions.

It’s frustrating and it doesn’t make sense. Entry-level should mean just that – a starting point for someone who is just beginning their career. These positions should be filled with individuals who are eager to learn and grow within the company. Instead, companies are expecting candidates to have years and years of experience for positions that are supposed to provide a pathway to success.

This is particularly problematic in the broadcasting industry, where there is a severe lack of crew around the world. The industry simply cannot afford to turn away talented individuals who are just starting out because they don’t have the years of experience that some job postings require. We need to be nurturing new talent, not pushing them away.

Of course, experience is important, and it’s understandable that companies want to hire individuals who have some level of expertise. But there has to be a balance. Entry-level positions should not require multiple years of experience or a master’s degree. That’s not reasonable or realistic.

Instead, we need to start thinking about entry-level positions as an opportunity to train and mentor new talent. Companies should be providing on-the-job training and investing in their employees’ professional development. This not only benefits the company, but it also benefits the industry as a whole by creating a pipeline of talented individuals who can take on more advanced roles in the future.

So, if you’re someone who is just starting out in their career and feeling discouraged by the unrealistic job postings out there, know that you’re not alone. It’s time for companies to rethink their approach to entry-level positions and start investing in the next generation of talent. And if you’re a company looking for new talent, consider taking a chance on someone who may not have years of experience, but who is eager to learn and grow with your organization. You might just be surprised at the results.

Now that we’ve identified the problem of unrealistic job postings and the need to invest in new talent, let’s take a look at some potential solutions.

1. Redefine entry-level positions: Companies need to redefine entry-level positions to better reflect what they actually are – starting points for people who are just beginning their careers. This means dropping unrealistic experience and education requirements and focusing on a candidate’s potential and willingness to learn.

2. Offer training and mentorship: Companies need to invest in their employees by offering on-the-job training and mentorship programs. This will not only help new hires develop their skills, but it will also create a supportive work environment that encourages growth and development.

3. Partner with educational institutions: Companies can partner with educational institutions to create pipelines of new talent. This can include internships, co-op programs, or apprenticeships that provide students with hands-on experience and a pathway to a career in the broadcasting industry.

4. Focus on diversity and inclusion: Companies need to focus on diversity and inclusion by actively seeking out and hiring candidates from underrepresented backgrounds. This will not only bring new perspectives and ideas to the table, but it will also help address the systemic issues that have led to a lack of diversity in the broadcasting industry.

5. Create entry-level job boards: Finally, companies can create entry-level job boards that are specifically designed for individuals who are just starting out in their careers. These job boards can help job seekers find opportunities that are more realistic and attainable, while also helping companies find new talent.

By implementing these solutions, companies can start to address the issue of unrealistic job postings and invest in the next generation of talent. This will not only benefit companies by creating a pipeline of skilled workers, but it will also benefit the broadcasting industry as a whole by creating a more diverse and inclusive workforce.

But wait there’s more! What can the job seeker do?

While companies have a responsibility to provide entry-level opportunities and invest in new talent, job seekers also have a role to play in their own career development. Here are some things that job seekers can do to enhance their skills and gain experience:

1. Attend local events: Job seekers can attend local events, such as industry conferences, workshops, and networking events, to meet professionals in the broadcasting industry and learn about new trends and technologies. This can also be an opportunity to ask questions and get advice from people who are already working in the industry.

2. Pursue internships or apprenticeships: Job seekers can pursue internships or apprenticeships to gain hands-on experience in the broadcasting industry. These programs provide opportunities to work alongside professionals and learn from their experiences.

3. Build a portfolio: Job seekers can build a portfolio of their work to showcase their skills and experience to potential employers. This can include samples of their writing, photography or videography work, or other projects that demonstrate their abilities.

4. Invest in their own education: Job seekers can invest in their own education by taking courses or pursuing certifications in areas related to broadcasting, such as journalism, media studies, or video production. This shows a commitment to their field and demonstrates a willingness to learn and develop new skills.

5. Seek out mentors: Job seekers can seek out mentors in the broadcasting industry who can provide guidance and advice on their career development. This can be a valuable resource for job seekers who are just starting out and looking for direction.

Ultimately, job seekers need to take an active role in their own career development. By seeking out opportunities for on-the-job training, attending local events, building a portfolio, investing in their education, and seeking out mentors, job seekers can enhance their skills and gain experience that can help them land their first job in the broadcasting industry.

Level Up Your Resume: Become An Achiever!

Everyone writes about networking, researching, targeting companies, identifying the position or positions you want, and you should, it’s all important and solid advice, but there is more to the job hunt than that…

It’s not a difficult twist it’s just a shift in how your approach is.

Are you Endlessly sending an updated draft of your resume out for the 50 some-teenth time to the internet void, and that isn’t working?  I have had the same experience.  

Years ago it was easy, make a phone call, or send out a resume, interview, and hired.  Today – ummm not so much.

I had been very “busy” changing up my skills, key words, etc to “match” what the resume machine algorithms have been asked to search for (and will discard if your resume isn’t at least a 70% match).  It’s true, a human will NOT EVER see your resume because there’s a program that automatically eliminates you if you haven’t included the sought after key words.  Even worse, you could be algorithm’d out for 6-12 months for a “bad” resume submission. 

I had received NO answers back aside from the automated “thank you for applying”, with decades of experience in the industry.  Incredibly frustrating!  But, I needed to change the way I worded my resume.  I was being seen as a doer.  Isn’t that good though?  Again….Not so much.  Hiring Managers need to see not only what you’ve done, but what you’ve accomplished.  

I was qualified, I could do the jobs I applied for, even better, I actually WANTED the jobs I applied for, I wasn’t just “looking for work”,  I was looking for what I wanted in my life too.  I’ve been lucky to get to an ebb and flow now.

But, I needed to change the language in my resume to show that I still take / took action and that I’m results-oriented person (an over-utilized phrase x1000 btw).  But, follow a few simple steps to level-up your resume:

1. Focus on your achievements: Instead of just listing your responsibilities, highlight your accomplishments and the results you achieved. Use action verbs to describe your achievements and quantify your accomplishments with numbers and percentages.

2. Use strong, action-oriented language in your resume. Avoid passive voice and use verbs that convey a sense of action and accomplishment.

3. Tailor your language to the job posting: Look at the job posting and use language that aligns with the job requirements. Use similar keywords and phrases that the employer is looking for to convey that you have the skills and experience they are seeking.

4. Highlight your skills and how they have contributed to your accomplishments. Use specific examples to demonstrate how you have used your skills to achieve results.

5. Use bullet points to break up dense paragraphs and make your resume easier to read. Use short, punchy statements that highlight your accomplishments and results.

6. Proofread, Proofread, and Proofread again – did I mention Proofread your resume?  Oh yes I did!  Do this carefully to ensure that your language is clear, concise, and error-free. Make sure that your accomplishments and results are easy to understand and are presented in a way that is easy to read.

Overall, by focusing on your networking, your achievements, using strong language, tailoring your language to the job posting, highlighting your skills, using bullet points, and proofreading your resume, you can change the way you as a person appear to a Hiring Manager.  So make yourself human, because you are human.  Make them know you, even better make them WANT to know YOU!   You are your own business, you don’t have to sell yourself, just show the best version of You that you’ve got!  You’re worth it.

This can help you stand out to potential employers and increase your chances of getting hired.

Short Tutorial: UNC Paths in Broadcasting & Digital Streaming

Who May Need Them in Broadcasting & Digital Streaming?

UNC paths are commonly used in broadcasting to facilitate the transfer of large video or audio files between production facilities. This is because broadcasting often involves collaboration between multiple teams and locations, and UNC paths provide a standardized method of accessing shared resources on a network.

In broadcasting, UNC paths may be created by various professionals, including video editors, audio engineers, and IT staff. For example, a video editor may use a UNC path to access a shared folder containing footage that another editor has uploaded from a remote location. Meanwhile, an IT staff member may use a UNC path to connect broadcasting equipment to a shared storage device or backup system.

Overall, UNC paths are an essential tool for broadcasting professionals who need to collaborate on media production across a network.

What’s An UNC Path?

Creating an UNC (Universal Naming Convention) path is a method of identifying a network resource, such as a shared folder or printer, on a computer network. It uses a format that starts with two backslashes followed by the name of the computer and the name of the shared resource.

For Example:

For example, if a computer named “FILESERVER01” has a shared folder named “SharedDocs”, the UNC path to access it would be: \\FILESERVER01\SharedDocs

UNC paths are used when accessing network resources across different operating systems, such as Windows and Linux. They are also used in web addresses to access shared resources using a web browser. 

How-To Create One:

You can input a UNC path in various ways depending on the task you are trying to accomplish. Here are a few examples:

1. To access a shared folder on a network: Open File Explorer and type or paste the UNC path in the address bar at the top of the window. Press Enter to access the shared folder.

2. To map a network drive: Open File Explorer and click on “Map network drive” in the ribbon at the top of the window. In the “Drive” drop-down menu, choose a drive letter to assign to the mapped drive. In the “Folder” field, enter the UNC path of the shared folder you want to map. Click “Finish” to create the mapped network drive.

3. To reference a file in a UNC path in a script or program: Use the UNC path as you would any other file path, but include the double backslash at the beginning. For example, to reference a file named “Data.txt” in a shared folder named “Data” on a computer named “Server1”, the UNC path would be: \\Server1\Data\Data.txt

It’s important to note that UNC paths require proper permissions and authentication to access the shared resources.

Why You Need Them

UNC paths are necessary because they provide a standardized and consistent way of identifying and accessing network resources on a computer network. They allow users to access shared resources from any computer on the network, regardless of the computer’s operating system or location.

Without UNC paths, users would have to manually navigate to the network resource by IP address or hard-coded network path, which can be difficult and error-prone. UNC paths simplify the process by providing a unified naming convention that is easy to remember and use. They also provide security features that limit access to shared resources, ensuring that unauthorized users cannot access sensitive information.

For example, the Seitz Roundshot D3 camera has a resolution of up to 80 megapixels and can capture full 360-degree panoramas in just a few seconds.

The process of stitching the images together is typically done using specialized software, such as PTGui or Autopano. These software programs use algorithms to analyze the images and find common features that can be used to align and blend the images together. The software can also correct for any distortion or perspective issues that may occur due to the different angles of the cameras.

Once the images are stitched together, they can be exported as a single panoramic image or as a virtual tour, which allows viewers to navigate through the scene using interactive controls. HRP cameras are often used in applications such as real estate photography, tourism, and virtual reality experiences, television broadcasts.

How is all of this technology used specifically in sports production broadcasts?

HRP cameras, drones, HelmetCams, and other similar technologies are used in sports production broadcasts to provide viewers with immersive and unique perspectives of the action.

HRP cameras are used to capture high-resolution panoramic images of stadiums and arenas, providing viewers with a 360-degree view of the venue. These images can be used for pre-game introductions, establishing shots, and post-game analysis. They can also be used to create virtual tours of the venue, allowing viewers to explore the stadium or arena in detail.

Drones are used to capture aerial footage of the action, providing viewers with a bird’s-eye view of the game. This footage can be used for replays, establishing shots, and highlights. Drones can also be used to capture footage of the surrounding area, giving viewers a sense of the location and atmosphere of the event.

HelmetCams are used to capture first-person point-of-view footage of athletes, providing viewers with a unique perspective of the action. This footage can be used for replays, highlights, and analysis. HelmetCams are often used in extreme sports such as snowboarding, skiing, and motocross.

Overall, these technologies are used to enhance the viewing experience of sports broadcasts, providing viewers with new and exciting perspectives of the action. The use of these technologies has become increasingly common in recent years, as broadcasters look for new ways to engage viewers and provide a more immersive viewing experience.
