Abstract:

5G-RECORDS aims to explore the opportunities which new 5G technology components bring to the professional production of audiovisual content, including Programme Making and Special Events (PMSE). 5G-RECORDS targets the development, integration, validation and demonstration of 5G components for professional content production, as part of an overall ecosystem integrating a subset of 5G network functions. The project will take a business-to-business (B2B) perspective, where 5G becomes integrated in media creation workflows including audio-visual infrastructure backbones. The challenge is to use 5G components from previous 5G-PPP projects and earlier R&D investments and further develop them. These components will be evaluated in three end-to-end 5G infrastructures provided by the project. These include the core network (5GC), radio access network (RAN) and end devices. The project aims to use of non-public networks (NPNs) as a way to bring these new components to emerging markets and new market actors. NPNs can be deployed as independent and standalone 5G networks or in conjunction with a public network. The project also aims to address recent emerging remote and distributed production workflows where cloud technologies cooperate with 5G. To ensure the successful demonstration of these use cases, the project brings together a set of experienced partners whose expertise covers both 5G and content production value chains. Most of the 5G components will be developed and implemented by specific key partners, being mostly innovative SMEs. The 5G-RECORDS implemented technologies will be based on existing 3GPP Rel-15 and Rel-16 specifications, while also prototyping some emerging Rel-17 capabilities. All technology components are expected to reach by the end of the project a minimum Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of 7. 5G-RECORDS has considered 3 use cases to embrace some of the most challenging scenarios in the framework of professional content production: live audio production, a multi-camera wireless studio and live immersive media production.
