Media eXchange Layer: Enabling Seamless Live Media Exchange
As momentum around Media eXchange Layer (MXL) builds, Russell Trafford-Jones, industry engagement manager at Techex, explores its potential to enable seamless live media exchange across software-based infrastructures.
Cloud workflows for live video are no longer experiments, but workhorses, constantly refined for technical and financial efficiency. File-based supply chains were the first to embrace this shift, but cost, connectivity, and business drivers have converged to make live cloud production and 24×7 linear workflows ready for adoption.
the ability to choose best-of-breed solutions without compromise
This principle, key to television’s success for the past century, has been hindered by a capability gap. SDI solved this problem for hardware, standardized in the late 80s, carrying uncompressed video over a simple cable, with its real power coming from ubiquity, enabling decades of growth and innovation.
