Shielding Truth: A Strategic Defense in Depth Approach to Deepfake Detection for Media Professionals - $15
Date: March 21, 2025Topics: 2025 BEITC Proceedings, Resilience, Safety and Protection for Broadcast ServiceThe detection of Deepfakes presents critical challenges to media integrity, necessitating robust, scalable solutions. This paper introduces a comprehensive Defense in Depth strategy, integrating advanced AI techniques alongside human expertise. Central to this strategy is the use of diverse datasets to train detection models, ensuring broader applicability and reduced bias. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of ongoing education and skills development for media professionals, equipping them to leverage detection technology effectively. This approach not only enhances current Deepfake identification capabilities but also aligns with broader industry initiatives focused on innovation and workforce development. By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, we aim to fortify the media landscape against evolving synthetic media threats. The paper showcases real-world case studies and offers strategic recommendations, underscoring the necessity of continuous adaptation and cooperation within the broadcasting sector to maintain public trust and media authenticity.

SNMP in the Broadcast Plant - $15
Date: April 26, 2020Topics: 2020 BEITC Proceedings, Broadcast Facility DesignThe Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) was created as a means to monitor and control devices in an Internet Protocol (IP) network. SNMP is widely used in Information Technology (IT) environments and is becoming popular in broadcast equipment. This proposed paper and presentation seeks to provide a familiarity with the SNMP protocol fundamentals, commands, system components, and implementation of SNMP in the broadcast environment to provide a robust monitoring and notification alerting environment from IT devices to the transmitter.
Topics to be covered include the following:
– Introduction to the SNMP Protocol
– SNMP System Components
– Implementing SNMP in the Broadcast Plant Infrastructure
– Securing SNMP
– Summary/ConclusionsWayne M. Pecena | Texas A&M University ? KAMU TV & FM | College Station, TX USA
Software-Only Facilities Running on an Asynchronous Framework: A Better Approach to Live Cloud Productions - $15
Date: April 14, 2023Topics: 2023 BEITC Proceedings, Media and Cloud 1A software-only, asynchronous framework can achieve highly scalable, responsive, easy-to-control, and frame-accurate broadcast media facilities. Both for on-premises and cloud deployments. Contrasting clock-driven and event-driven processing, this paper characterizes virtualization in a live production context. Exploiting learning from other high-performance networking technologies, a new media processing framework is introduced consisting of software-based, composable, and multi-vendor media services. Discussed are details of how this framework governs processing, timing and control, and the consequences for facility designs.
