FIDAL

B5GVideoNet (B5GVN) is a B5G/6G platform for providing live video uplink & sharing services, mainly for media sports and news creators as well as for PPDR in both daily and emergency times. Live video is the cornerstone of sports and news productions.

5GVideoNet offers remote production as a service over B5G via the new LiveU portal for the media customers based on the FIDAL UoP testbed via the TMF APIs. This service utilises the advanced capabilities of  FIDAL or any other B5G and future 6G networks, such as 5G private networks, guaranteed performance via slices, TMF APIs, and Edge computing. The service deploys the portal to communicate with the testbed via the TMF APIs, the LiveU Kubernetes NetApp cloud video receiver at the Edge of the network and the Live mobile MMH for onsite UL->DL video delivery. It combines these with LiveU public cloud full production capabilities. Thus, B5GVN service delivers many new advanced use cases and workflows for future media creation, such as remote production, onsite production and remote-studio productions, with guaranteed performance (via exposed-ordering slices, NPN, Edge, multi-slice bonding, etc). This is the future of IP media creation over cellular, competing with satellite and fiber backhauls for a range of very small to very large news, sports and entertainment events. It enables new UCs, flows, and creations and reduces cost and environmental impact. The experiments will cover these UCs and many of their variations. These are precursors to 6G where such architecture and overlay services are foreseen.
