- Sony and Deutsche Telekom successfully test live video solution based on CAMARA network API
- Network API provides optimized low latency with stable bandwidth and supports real-time video transfer
Deutsche Telekom and Sony announced successful testing of Nevion’s VideoIPath media orchestration platform using 5G network application programming interfaces (APIs). The solution provided by Sony and its subsidiary Nevion uses Deutsche Telekom’s network API to optimally leverage 5G networks, delivering unprecedented low latency and reliable bandwidth essential for live, professional video production.

5G technology is of high interest to broadcasters due to its logistical agility and potential savings in live production. However, despite the high performance of 5G networks, challenges remain when using this technology for high-end live production. These broadcasts require the reliable transfer of large amounts of video data in real time. Live productions often take place in highly competitive, crowded environments (such as stadiums) and involve many cameras. To ensure 5G-enhanced live TV production, live on-air feeds must be transported with optimized latency and bandwidth. This functionality has been demonstrated using the Network API in joint testing between Sony and Deutsche Telekom.

The test successfully combined Nevion’s smart bandwidth management capabilities and Sony’s ultra-low-latency video compression technology with seamless access to Deutsche Telekom’s 5G SA network and optimized them via network APIs. The tests were performed on his 5G Standalone (SA) testbed in Deutsche Telekom’s lab environment in Krakow, Poland. As part of this test, Sony used the recently launched CBK-RPU7 HEVC 4K/HD remote production unit for video compression and his new 5G portable data transmitter PDT-FP1, both attached to the camera. These devices complement the solution by allowing on-site cameras to connect to the broadcast production center via his 5G network. The network API used in the tests follows standards set by CAMARA, an open source network API project within the Linux Foundation, of which Deutsche Telekom is an active member.
“Live TV with multiple cameras means advanced technical requirements. 5G standalone simplifies this type of complex media production. Standardized programmable interfaces ensure low latency and stable “In combination with the 5G modem and innovative data compression, you can adjust the quality of service.” Together with our partner Sony, we have successfully tested this 5G innovation,” said Claudia Nemat, Board Member for Technology and Innovation at Deutsche Telekom.
These tests continue Deutsche Telekom’s commitment to providing innovative network solutions for optimized live video broadcasting. September, Telecom Announces commercial start of 5G live video production using network slicingtogether with RTL.
About network API
Network APIs are defined and standardized by the CAMARA initiative announced by the GSMA in February 2022. This initiative is comprised of network operators, technology providers, cloud providers, operating system providers, and application developers. This initiative aims to standardize network APIs globally. By using CAMARA’s open source network API, providers ensure interoperability with other carrier networks around the world.
