As live production goes increasingly cloud native, IP video transport has become the prevailing transmission method from the field to the studio. While technology for IP live production has proliferated, automation of workflows for scheduling and receiving live feeds has not evolved at the same pace and still requires significant manual effort.

DPP Live Production Exchange (LPX) is a collaborative initiative led by the DPP in partnership with member companies including Reuters, Arqiva, the IPTC, and Warner Bros Discovery to develop a common framework to bridge the gap between live producers, operators and the broadcast technology they use. Its aim is to assist producers and broadcasters to better realise efficiencies from their investments in cloud and IP production technologies by introducing a standardised approach to live production metadata and automation via open APIs for publishing and subscribing to live events.
