Story Highlights
NEP Group has announced that its award-winning TFC broadcast-orchestration platform, used in NEP facilities supporting the biggest productions around the world, is available as a licensed service to be used in any broadcast facility across the industry.
TFC serves as an all-in-one platform tying hardware and software from multiple vendors into one interface, simplifying control, automating tasks, and standardizing workflows.
TFC is deployed in NEP mobile units, such as this one in the UK.
It was originally built by NEP engineers to solve their own challenges around simplifying IP in a broadcast environment. Over the past few years, the platform has become the company's trusted management system for ST 2110 networking. It has been deployed for some of the industry's biggest events and premier broadcasters: the Super Bowl, the PGA TOUR, The Masters Tournament, last summer's Paris Games, Seven Network Australia, the World Cup, and many other major productions across the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
Today, says Soames Treffry, president, NEP Australia, New Zealand, and Japan, TFC is integrated across our NEP facilities worldwide, including our broadcast compounds and NEP Production Hubs. It has become a solution our customers trust and depend on to deliver the biggest events to their audiences.
We've learned so much over the years, he continues. We're very excited to take this next step in the technology's evolution by making TFC available as a scalable service partnership.
Available to any broadcaster, rightsholder, league, federation, or sports and entertainment producer, TFC is technology-agnostic, allowing customers to choose multiple vendors to support a particular show. It's backed by NEP's 24/7 global engineering support.
TFC has been a major part of NEP's vision and innovation story for a long time, Treffry says. With this new wide-scale offering, we're confident the platform will continue to drive meaningful transformation by delivering the reliability and innovation the broadcast industry demands.
Broadcast Control: Multiple Functions, Simplified Workflow TFC provides key functions that solve challenges and create opportunities for engineering and production teams: for example, broadcast control, software-defined networking (SDN), and real-time monitoring.
TFC is integrated at the new PGA TOUR Studios in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL.
As a broadcast-control platform, it ties together multi-vendor hardware and software, simplifying the complex process of managing an ST 2110 production, which requires deep IP expertise. TFC simplifies the workflow by allowing user-friendly, intuitive touchscreen control by any operator.
As a purpose-built SDN, TFC is designed exclusively for broadcast environments, with no extra configuration required. Real-time monitoring enables engineering teams to stay ahead of challenges, with the platform providing instant alerts and updates on network health, uptime, latency, and device status.
A Platform Built for Working in an IP Environment NEP's TFC platform is for customers who are experiencing challenges managing IP, don't have in-house network-engineering expertise, or are migrating from traditional baseband environments to IP, software, and cloud production. TFC's security layer is also a key component and therefore a solution for any highly visible media platform or critical project.
TFC has completely changed the way engineering and production teams are able to manage many different layers of hardware and software on a major show site or in a production facility, says Michael Raimondo, VP, broadcast technology, PGA TOUR. The platform takes something very complex in our industry and simplifies it for our operators, allowing our producers and creators to focus on their number-one goal of delivering amazing content to our viewers and fans.
Scalability enables TFC to support any major sports event, rightsholder, sports league or federation, entertainment production, news facility, national broadcaster, or major television producer or streamer, and it is available today as a licensed-software solution.
