The Houses of the Oireachtas Broadcasting Unit (OBU) is preparing to publish a tender for the replacement of Control Room infrastructure which is predominantly end of life and would like to replace it with a hybrid SDI/IP solution using the latest technologies, products, and solutions available. This project aims to identify and implement improvements, benefits and cost efficiencies which can be achieved by moving to a hybrid SDI/IP solution.
