Project description
Bringing new 5G components to audiovisual content production
The fifth-generation wireless network, 5G, is disrupting industry and creating numerous opportunities. It is also impacting how we experience videos and music. The EU-funded 5G-RECORDS project will investigate the opportunities to bring new 5G technology components to professional audiovisual content production. By adopting a business-to-business perspective, where 5G becomes part of the audiovisual infrastructure backbone, the project will bring the new components to emerging markets and new market actors. It will use non-public networks which can be deployed as independent and standalone 5G networks. Most of the 5G components will be developed and implemented by specific key partners, mostly innovative small and medium-sized enterprises. The project’s main challenge is to use 5G components from previous 5G infrastructure public-private partnerships and earlier research and development investments.
Objective
5G-RECORDS aims to explore the opportunities which new 5G technology components bring to the professional audio-visual content production. 5G-RECORDS targets the development, integration, validation and demonstration of 5G components for professional media content production, as part of an overall ecosystem representing a subset of 5G network functions. The project will take a business-to-business (B2B) perspective, where 5G becomes part of the audio-visual (AV) infrastructure backbone. 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 specific end-to-end 5G infrastructures. In particular, the project will provide three end-to-end 5G infrastructures. This includes 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.
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 a specific key partner, being mostly innovative SMEs. The presence of SMEs is particularly strong in the consortium, since they represent the 44.5%. 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.
