We have instantaneous video communication (FaceTime, Zoom, etc.) so why can’t news channels use different, existing technology to communicate instantaneously?
In: Engineering
News broadcasts use really high-end gear to make sure the signal is super reliable and high-quality. They prioritize stability and quality over speed, which can cause a bit of delay compared to apps like FaceTime or Zoom, which are consumer grade. To keep the audio and video in sync and handle any small hiccups, there’s usually a little buffering as well. This helps avoid glitches or interruptions while on air.
