Description

Ben and DAIvid trace a fascinating decade-long evolution in broadcast standards - from Evertz's vendor-driven ASPEN protocol in 2015 to the revolutionary Cloud Native Agile Production (CNAP) project launched at IBC 2024.

This episode explores how the BBC's decision to open-source their Time Addressable Media Store (TAMS) represents a fundamental shift from proprietary gatekeeping to radical industry collaboration. We cover the technical breakthrough that cuts workflow costs by 92%, the multi-organization demos planned for IBC 2025, and what this means for consultants and broadcast professionals.

Key topics include:

• The philosophical shift from vendor-controlled to community-driven standards
• How CNAP enables broadcast-quality workflows at cloud-native costs
• Real-world implications from Ben's IBC 2024 experience and Berkeley AI Strategy insights
• Why participation beats consumption in the new standards landscape
• Looking ahead to AI-integrated workflows and multi-organization collaboration

Essential listening for anyone navigating the transformation from traditional broadcast infrastructure to cloud-native, collaborative workflows.
