The practices that the software industry developed for managing that complexity - DevOps - are increasingly relevant to broadcast engineers. Not as a job title to chase, but as a set of disciplines that make complex, software-defined broadcast systems more reliable and maintainable.https://matt-thomas.work/posts/comrex-fleet-dashboard/Fri, 03 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://matt-thomas.work/posts/comrex-fleet-dashboard/Managing a fleet of Comrex contribution codecs across multiple sites means constantly checking individual units for connection status, firmware versions, and registration state.
