Broadcast Support and Escalation

• IP Broadcast Standards: Assist in the implementation and maintenance of IP-based broadcast standards (SMPTE ST 2110 and SMPTE 2022) and multicast networking.
• Operational Continuity: Ensure high availability for critical media services and assist in disaster recovery/failover procedures.
