In the fast-evolving world of live television, real-time data, dynamic graphics, and AI-enhanced visuals are no longer optional—they’re essential. To stay ahead, a leading U.S. public broadcaster turned to Saitech Inc to transform its broadcast infrastructure and bring next-generation performance to its 24/7 operations.

The Challenge: Real-Time AI at Scale

The broadcaster needed a powerful and reliable system to meet modern production demands, including:

• Instant AI-enhanced graphics rendering
• Real-time object detection for sports coverage
• Automated captioning and metadata tagging
• High throughput with minimal latency
• Continuous uptime for live broadcasting

Traditional systems lacked the performance and scalability needed. Saitech Inc stepped in to build a custom, AI-centric architecture from the ground up.

The Solution: AI-Optimized Broadcast Infrastructure

Saitech engineered a high-performance solution using best-in-class technologies from NVIDIA, Supermicro, Intel, Micron, Broadcom, and PNY, focused on speed, scalability, and reliability.

Key components included:

• NVIDIA RTX™ A5000 / A6000 GPUs: With Tensor and RT cores, these GPUs power real-time rendering, AI-based enhancements, and support up to 48 GB VRAM for high-resolution workloads.
• Supermicro SYS-1019P-WTR Server: A dense 1U platform with Intel Xeon scalable CPUs, 10x 2.5” bays, PCIe Gen4, and support for up to 768 GB ECC DDR4.
• Intel Xeon W5-3435X: A 12-core, 24-thread CPU with DL Boost, AVX-512, DDR5, and PCIe 5.0—designed for AI and media-heavy tasks.
• Micron 7500 MAX NVMe SSDs: Offering up to 1M IOPS and 6.8 GB/s throughput, paired with 256 GB DDR5 memory for fast, consistent performance.
• Broadcom MegaRAID 9560: Advanced RAID with failover protection, data caching, and battery backup for zero data loss.
• PNY Sync II Cards: Enabling genlock and frame lock for synchronized output across multiple GPUs—ideal for video walls and studio setups.

AI Workloads Unlocked

With this infrastructure, the broadcaster can now run advanced AI workloads in real time, including:

• Live object tracking during sports events
• Smart framing and AI chroma keying for virtual sets
• Real-time speech-to-text and closed captioning
• Automated tagging and metadata generation
• Generative overlays and augmented visuals
• Bandwidth-optimized streaming with AI enhancements

Reliability for 24/7 Operations

To ensure uninterrupted broadcast performance, Saitech integrated:

• Redundant platinum-rated power supplies for failover protection
• Supermicro IPMI for full remote diagnostics, control, and system monitoring

The Result: Smarter, Faster Live Production

The new system revolutionized the broadcaster’s workflow—bringing AI capabilities once limited to post-production into the live broadcast environment. From election night coverage and weather reports to live sports and breaking news, the broadcaster now delivers smarter, sharper, and more dynamic content in real time.
