From Capture to Compute: Advantech’s Vision for the Future of Broadcast
Voices of Video with Dom Mrakuzic from Advantech
Video is moving beyond simple capture and distribution toward a more intelligent, compute-driven future.
In this episode of Voices of Video, Mark Donnigan welcomes back Dom Mrakuzic of Advantech to discuss the next generation of broadcast and media infrastructure.
They explore how AI, volumetric video, multi-camera production, and real-time 3D rendering could transform live sports into more personalized experiences, allowing viewers to choose their own angles and receive individual video streams.
Making these experiences possible at scale requires more than powerful software. It also requires purpose-built hardware that can separate CPU, GPU, and VPU workloads while managing power consumption, thermal limits, latency, and cost per stream.
The conversation covers:
- Why broadcast is moving from capture to compute
- How AI and 3D video could change live sports viewing
- Why video processing and encoding are moving closer to the edge
- The role of VPUs in high-density video delivery
- How application-specific servers improve scalability
- Advantech’s approach to silicon neutrality and product longevity
- The shift from x86-only systems toward ARM-based compute
- Advantech’s 12-slot U.2 server for high-density VPU deployments
- What Advantech and NETINT are preparing for IBC
As video workflows become more intelligent and personalized, scalable infrastructure will play a major role in turning these ideas into practical, commercially viable experiences. Partnerships between companies such as Advantech and NETINT are helping make that transition possible.
