Software defined broadcasting is a system which is controlled by advanced hardware and software components that are assembled in a physical and virtual space. Currently, broadcasting organizations are adopting this technology in order to address the increasing need for agility, virtualization, and security. It also has the capability to reduce operational expenditure and provide flexible allocation of resources. The flexibility of this system enables developers to potentially configure their own stack of virtual components personalized to their individual requirements and conditions, which can undermine efficiency gains. Beyond enhanced productivity and cost savings, software-defined broadcasting can create a base for building agility into the way businesses provide broadcasting services.
