Operational Intelligence

Описание: Broadcast plants have evolved rapidly over the past year, becoming more interconnected and software-driven than ever before. As workflows now span multiple vendors, timing domains, and mixed SDI/IP environments, engineers are facing increasing challenges in understanding how the entire signal chain behaves as a unified ecosystem.

This presentation offers a practical, year-end engineering review of where workflow complexity increased in 2025 and how that impacts troubleshooting, stability, and day-to-day operations. We’ll discuss why failures now appear between systems rather than inside them, and why engineers need clearer visibility across the full workflow—not just isolated device-level alarms.

Bil will introduce Operational Intelligence (OI) in a simple, engineering-centric way: as the next logical step after data aggregation, enabling cross-system insight and helping engineers interpret behavior across routing, timing, Mult viewers, automation, cloud, and other interdependent layers.

This trend is not unique to broadcast; Microsoft recently announced similar needs across its enterprise ecosystem, reinforcing that modern operations require unified data and machine-assisted interpretation.

This session is designed for engineers dealing with real operational challenges in today’s facilities — increasing complexity, more data than ever, and less actionable insight.
