What is MXL?
As live production continues its shift toward software‑defined, IP and hybrid environments, the industry is moving beyond hype and into practical delivery.
This session explores some of the most significant developments shaping the next phase of broadcast and media technology — from Media Exchange Layer (MXL) and multi‑vendor interoperability, to cloud‑based and hybrid production models, practical applications of AI, and the evolving role of standards in increasingly complex workflows.
Through short presentations and panel discussions with vendors, standards experts and practitioners, we’ll examine how traditional broadcast equipment manufacturers are transitioning to software platforms, how cloud no longer means “public cloud only”, and how new technologies can coexist with established SMPTE standards to deliver flexible, scalable and future‑ready production environments.
Designed for broadcasters, technologists, systems integrators and AV professionals, this session focuses on real‑world use cases, lessons learned, and what to realistically plan for next.
