In the use case for immersive applications and virtual reality, the quality of real-time-based 3D media applications with several spatially separated participants is to be ensured and improved. The application projects the users into a common virtual environment. This puts very high requirements on the network and the applications.

The Remote and Smart Production and User Generated Content application is designed to provide broadcasters with a scalable, flexible production environment while integrating user generated content. Means of production for remote and smart production in combination with virtual functions, such as video compressors in the cloud, are expected to offer great potential for reducing costs.

When transmitting UHD material via a Content Delivery Network, the distribution of 4K/8K content over a dynamic network and cross-device usage will be optimized. The aim is to improve economic and secure programme distribution in order to find new market opportunities. In contrast to the best-effort principle known today, streaming as a service concept is to be applied. Requirements such as short latency and sufficient bandwidth are adapted to the content dynamically.

In 5G-MEDIA, IRT coordinates the development of media-specific applications and services as well as the validation of the 5G-MEDIA platform for usage in the Remote and Smart Production scenario.
