IBC to assess health of TV

Inside

By Chris Forrester IBC’s conference opening day, and Keynote, looks specifically at the health of the broadcast sector. The session brings together David Abraham, CEO Channel 4, Bruce Tuchman, President, Sundance Channel Global, MGM Channel Global and Imagine Communications CEO Charlie Vogt who will debate the topic and explain how they are handling the demands of what is now a fast-evolving series of challenges.

Indeed, Channel 4, which is sometimes called the Research and Development Lab of British television, maintains that 2014 is ‘a seismic year of change in the landscape of television’.

Abraham is driving the channel’s burgeoning personal relationships with more than 10 million individual registered viewers, including half of 16-24 year olds. This in turn is building a pretty useful picture of their viewing habits and preferences that will be of great interest to commissioners and advertisers alike.

Plan your trip to IBC Even for a world-class city like Amsterdam, IBC means a big influx of people. So if you have not yet booked accommodation, you should move quickly.

The good news is that there is still plenty of

accommodation available, at a broad range of prices and standards. Rooms are still available in close proximity to IBC, in the heart of the city and in the surrounding areas.

Amsterdam is a great city with excellent transport links,

Charlie Vogt is CEO of Imagine Communications, a provider of media software and video infrastructure solutions to more than 3,000 broadcasters, multichannel video programming distributors and enterprise customers spanning 185 countries. Vogt also currently serves as CEO of GatesAir, an industry leader in powering overthe-air radio and television broadcasts worldwide.

so wherever you choose to stay you can be close to the action. IBC works closely with the Amsterdam RAI Hotel & Travel Service, which negotiates with the city’s hoteliers on IBC’s behalf to get the best prices possible. There is a link to the RAI Hotel & Travel Service booking engine from www.ibc.org/accommodation,

allowing you to book online quickly, simply and securely.

The service is also set up to help and advise on group block bookings, visit www.ibc.org/travel. You will also find a link there to Amsterdam Passport, the specialist service for business travellers who want to find out more about the city, how to get around and what to do.

“The team of talented executive producers has constructed a programme that aims to challenge and open minds”

IBC to reflect intense rate of progress and innovation I am delighted to share with you some of the thinking behind the planning for this year’s IBC Conference. I emphasise the word 'planning': we aim to be topical and reflect the issues that are really relevant to our industry.

Sometimes that means we finalise details, or change our plans, right up to the last minute to get the best possible speakers and topics for debate.

Our content editor, Graham Lovelace, and the team of experienced and talented executive producers has constructed a programme that aims to challenge and open minds. They will continue to work on it, right up to the last moment, so keep checking the website for the latest information.

While the nature and structure of the industry has been metamorphosing over the last decade, the pace of change is now intense. We are moving from a broadcast world, where channel owners dictate what consumers watch, to a multiplatform, anytime, anywhere experience where the viewer is in charge.

Technically, too, the transformation has been total.

From a business dependent upon bespoke hardware with bespoke connectivity over bespoke cables and connectors, we are moving rapidly into the IP world. Much of our technology now depends upon standard IT equipment, and there is a real prospect of a move away from our familiar video formats towards connecting everything over ethernet.

This year our conference starts with that very issue.

Michael Lumley, chair of the IBC2014 conference committee, introduces this year’s programme and outlines some of the key highlights from the agenda

The industry has been metamorphosing since IBC2013

Book your place at the IBC2014 conference www.ibc.org/register Thursday’s programme asks where broadcast sits in an IPcentric world. The strategic, business, content and technical streams each contribute to the core debate around how we create, manage and distribute content.

That core structure is reflected throughout the conference this year. Each day will take a theme, with these themes building through the week. Within and around the themes there are a number of strands, allowing different parts of your business to gain their own insights.

Following Thursday’s broadcasting in an IP-centric world, on Friday we look at how, by embracing change, we can open up new opportunities and overcome new challenges.

Saturday addresses the impact

of new players in our industry, and analyses their challenges to the established order.

On Sunday we look to the future, and aim to gain an understanding of the possible disruptions to come. Monday draws all the strands together, with sessions explaining, inspiring and forecasting on the key outcomes and conclusions.

Extended Big Screen Each day will see a plenary session with one or more world-renowned keynote speakers. On Thursday the health of broadcast television will be discussed by David Abraham, CEO of Channel 4, Bruce Tuchman, President, Sundance Channel Global, MGM Channel Global, Sam

Barnett, CEO, MBC and Charlie Vogt, CEO of Imagine Communications.

Friday’s keynote speaker is Matt Brittin, Vice-President, Google Europe, and Saturday we hear from Tim Davie, CEO of BBC Worldwide, the commercial arm of the world’s biggest broadcast brand. On Sunday we welcome a familiar face from in front of the camera, the scientist and presenter Professor Brian Cox OBE. Monday is the heart of our digital cinema conference programme. We have an extended Big Screen Experience this year, with more opportunities to see and talk about the latest developments as the disciplines of cinema and traditional broadcast continue to merge. Most of these sessions will take place in the superbly

equipped Auditorium with its state of the art projection and audio.

As mentioned earlier, running vertically through the conference are streams offering the strategic overview and business and creative viewpoints.

Alongside these streams sit our technical papers, the foundation on which the IBC conference is built. Through its careful peer reviewing, IBC remains the most prestigious place to present new scientific thinking for our industry.

Threaded into the conference is a set of sessions designed for every visitor, and free to anyone registered for IBC. These Industry Insight sessions include the ever-popular What Caught My Eye strand, where we ask an industry expert to take a look at what is new and game-changing in a particular area, helping you identify the must-see exhibits on the show floor.

The IBC Conference is all this and much more. Our website – www.ibc.org/conferenceprogra mme – has the programme as it develops, along with details of every session and biographies of all our speakers. It is not too early to start planning how you will get maximum value from your visit. If you have not yet registered, you can choose the most appropriate pass for you and save by booking online.

IBC attracts visitors and conference delegates from well over 170 countries. It is the one truly global event for our industry, and the best place to invest in knowledge, particularly in this time of transformative change. I look forward to seeing you in Amsterdam.

John Holton, chair of the IBC2014 Exhibition Committee, talks about this year’s event and describes some of the continuing developments as well as dramatic changes We know, because we talk to a lot of visitors, that IBC is a vital part of their annual plans. For many it is the annual investment in knowledge, the chance to see what the industry is up to, and what technical developments will challenge us all in the coming months and years.

This is a very fast-moving business – now more than ever – and so we have to make it as easy as possible for visitors to get at that information. The central way we do that through our exhibition, and with two watchwords we always have in mind: IBC has to be comprehensive, and it has to be convenient.

So I can tell you, for instance, that this year we have over 1,500 stands, occupying more than 50,000 square metres of stand space throughout 14 halls.

That is pretty big, of course, and we are proud of it.

So let me look at the first of my two C words: Comprehensive. We bring together all the key vendors from around the world. IBC is the only global event, and we work hard to ensure that is true.

I am pretty sure, though, that no-one reading this is going to attempt to visit all 1,000 stands.

Even if it were possible, no-one needs to know everything.

The chances are you have one or two projects in mind, and need to look at specific areas of technology. That is why our halls are laid out not by some arcane rules of seniority, but by grouping technologies together in a logical way.

Hence my second C word: Convenience. IBC is a convenient exhibition to visit. If you are about to invest in transmitters, virtually all you need can be found in Hall 8. If you want to upgrade your post production hardware, Hall 7 has all the major brands.

Touch & Connect Those are two fairly traditional examples I have just quoted. As we are all aware, the nature of electronic media is fast changing, and IBC is continually evolving to reflect that. This year sees dramatic changes.

IBC Content Everywhere Europe is the first in a series of global events powered and created by IBC. It is aimed at the convergence between IT, telecoms and broadcast. As its name suggests, it exists to analyse and present the technologies which allow

consumers to enjoy content where, when and how they want it delivered.

You could think of IBC Content Everywhere Europe as a show within a show, were it not so tightly integrated into the IBC environment. Naturally, all of these new media exhibitors are part of the one IBC exhibition space, and all visitors are welcome to tour any part of the show floor.

If you came to IBC last year you may have spotted some visitors carrying orange devices along with their badges. This is our Touch & Connect technology, and it lies at the heart of IBC Content Everywhere Europe.

As well as using it to download content from exhibitors, you can use it to build your own social network of contacts, creating a community around common technical, creative and business interests.

IBC Content Everywhere Europe will be taking place across the entire IBC2014 show floor, and will feature three key areas of interest; the Hub stage in Hall 14, where there will be a rolling programme of presentations and debates, free to all visitors, and two more

The IBC Exhibition is comprehensive, convenient and informative

show floor stages for targeted master classes and forums -IBC Content Everywhere Cloud Solutions in Hall 3, and IBC Content Everywhere Workflow Solutions in Hall 9. Again, all these sessions and demonstrations are free to all.

Once again we are hosting the IBC Future Zone, in the Park Foyer near Hall 8. This is where the cutting edge work in the world’s R&D labs and universities comes to life. It is your chance to see what may become the hit product of IBC2020. This area also hosts the Technical Posters, carefully selected and curated by IBC’s Technical Paper’s Committee for their non-commercial & thought provoking ideas.

The IBC2014 exhibition is going to be comprehensive – all the key vendors in every sector of the industry from bespoke broadcast hardware to app

Google’s driving ambition

By Chris Forrester

Keynote session September 12 Forum, 10.00-11.00 04 Preview Issue

Technology giant Google is just about everywhere. In 17 years it has gone from a wonderful algorithm to explore the World Wide Web to the planet’s most powerful ad-funded search engine, and along the way growing and expanding into dozens of other ventures. Among these are the acquisition of YouTube and the introduction of Google Maps, Street View, Google Mail, Android (and its new watches), Nest Labs, and more recently SkyBox Imaging, Google Glass, Project Loon and now a scheme to launch as many as 360

satellites to girdle the Earth.

While its ‘Don’t Be Evil’ mantra and daily Google illustrations on its website are fun, the fact is that since its 2004 IPO Google has made 160 formal acquisitions to strengthen and widen its product lines, and it is still growing. With a market capitalisation of some $400 billion, and despite spending some of those billions on acquisitions it still has a war chest of some $60 billion in cash up its sleeve.

Matt Brittin is VicePresident, Europe and in this keynote session (moderated

by The IBC Daily’s Kate Bulkley) we will hear where broadcast media lies within Google’s ambitions, and how

YouTube and its global community of content creators is changing the way video content is produced, distributed, and consumed.

We will also hear the latest on Android TV, Google’s connected television strategy that will link TVs, set-top boxes, tablets, smartphones, games consoles and new devices such as smartwatches.

This keynote address, which sets the agenda for the second day of IBC2014 in which we look at the ways technology is driving change and enabling new opportunities, will also explore Google’s relationship with broadcasters and content producers.

development and interactive streaming – and it is going to be convenient, meaning just logical groupings of exhibitors but informative and thoughtprovoking presentations and discussions without even leaving the show floor.

It really is the one place to build your stock of knowledge. I look forward to seeing you in September for our most exciting IBC yet.

Five streams ahead for Conference success As well as now being restructured into distinct days, each one of which tells a separate part of the innovation story of our industry, the IBC Conference is also carefully curated into five separate streams. This acknowledges that any snapshot of the current industry, and roadmap of the future one, needs cogent input from the thoughtleaders currently working across the triumvirate of content, business innovation and technical development. It also helps delegates to manage their time effectively and concentrate on the sessions that matter to them and to their business.

The Strategic Insights stream will provide high-level insights and actions relating to each day’s theme. What are the latest developments in realtime audience tracking and what are the consequent

implications for new advertising models? What will the television experience of 2020 be like, for those on both sides of the glass? What are the liable impacts of the cloud at all levels of the business, and what should people be doing about it now?

Visitors to the Business Operations & Content Innovation streams will experience practical sessions that assess the real world implications of the innovation story in content creation and distribution underpinned by leading-edge case studies. How is archive to be monetised? What new formats plug into what new business opportunities?

Where does Big Data fit in to advances in audience engagement and what are the steps required to exploit it? From changes in the way that natural history

programming is presented to the promise of wholly IPcentric workflows, this stream is all about maximising the opportunities and minimising the risk.

The Advances in Technology stream, meanwhile, provides an indepth examination of the very latest technological innovations at all stages of the pipeline, from production to delivery (with much about the Ultra HD rollout and beyond slated for this year).

And finally, the free-to-attend Industry Insights Conference Stream gives all of IBC’s attendees a chance to sample the debate and discussion that makes up the IBC Conference itself and includes the three ‘What Caught My Eye’ sessions.

Add in the chance to network with some of the leading thinkers in the industry and measure strategies, planning and implementation against an active and engaged peer group, and it’s easy to see why the IBC Conference remains such a powerful draw year after year.

Tall towers and mobiles battle for future

By Chris Forrester The Great Spectrum Debate on Thursday afternoon will ask how can we compare the public value of broadcasting against the benefits of better mobile broadband access? Should more radio spectrum be released for mobile data communications? How can the 06 Preview Issue

competing demands of broadcasting and broadband best be balanced?

The panellists, moderated by Dr William Cooper of informitv, will look at the usage of spectrum, and question whether tall terrestrial TV towers have a future importance as the most efficient way to reach audiences. They’ll

Great Spectrum Debate 11 September Forum, 15.00-16.00

argue whether the transition to digital TV allows more efficient use of the finite radio frequency spectrum.

Yet many homes now receive TV through cable or satellite, or interactive services through online networks. There is now increasing demand for new communications networks like

mobile broadband that can deliver significant social and economic benefits.

Three leading experts will argue in favour of the motion that mobile broadband can provide greater value from terrestrial TV’s spectrum. They’ll be opposed by three equally skilled enthusiasts who want to keep their tall towers. theibcdaily

Professor Brian Cox OBE to give Keynote address Not quite yet a teenager, Brian Cox watched the landmark television series Cosmos, and decided there and then to become a physicist and find out how the universe works.

Along the way he was diverted by music for a while, but he is now a professor of particle physics – and a keynote speaker at IBC2014.

Sunday at the IBC Conference is devoted to looking to the future. Who better to set the tone of the day than Professor Brian Cox OBE, who combines his academic work with presenting his own compulsive, imaginative television series.

“I am very much looking forward to speaking at IBC2014,” Cox said. “Television

programmes like Carl Sagan’s Cosmos and James Burke’s Connections had a great influence on me when I was younger, and it is my view that television is still the most powerful and direct way of inspiring new generations of viewers.

“Integrating television with social media and the internet enhances that potential,” he added, “but of course power comes with responsibility: we must take our responsibility to educate, inform and influence seriously.”

Cox – who at one time put his academic career on hold while he played keyboards with chart band D-Ream – is now Professor of Physics at the University of Manchester in the UK. He combines that

with work at CERN, the joint European project in Geneva, which aims to solve the really big questions in particle physics.

When not working on the Large Hadron Collider, Cox uses his charismatic communication skills to present television programmes on science and the heavens. His skill is in making even the most complex concepts clear for all audiences. He is as popular on children’s television as on science documentaries, and has a long-running radio comedy programme, The Infinite Monkey Cage.

Cox brings this engaging style to IBC on Sunday morning. He will consider how developments in technology

have allowed his own storytelling style to evolve. The keynote will also consider the impact of the massive expansion in television over the years since he was first captivated by Cosmos, back in the days when the UK only had three television channels.

It is likely he will also muse on the physics of television itself. Will we one day be

IBC’s Content Everywhere: Workflow and Cloud in focus

By Chris Forrester There are plenty of headlinegrabbing sessions at IBC and where this year’s ‘Hot Topics’ are debated, but the fact is that delegates often want the ‘hands on’ advice that IBC’s Content Everywhere Workflow Solutions provide. At IBC2014 it is Hall 9 (Workflow) and Hall 3 (Cloud Solutions) that the advice is being dispensed from Friday through Monday, and with a special focus on the growing importance of the Cloud in planning current and future content distribution.

IBC’s Workflow stream is free to attend. IBC Content Everywhere Workflow Solutions stream showcases the financial and production benefits of the disruptive technologies of tapeless production. But as always there are challenges. The relentless drive to end-to-end

08 Preview Issue

file-based digital production throws up as many complexities as it does opportunities for creative freedom and budget saving.

The events are coordinated with the help of the Advanced Media Workflow Association (AMWA) which will also mount its own presentations during the IBC event. AMWA has its own expert presentation on Friday (11.00-12.30) followed by valuable sessions from Microsoft (13.00-14.00) and Telestream (14.30-15.30). Telestream will focus on how ITV automated its multi-platform workflows with extremely speedy processes, and yet flexibility for future expansion.

There are near non-stop sessions daily from 11.00, but Sunday’s ‘Lifecycles of a software-based TV station’ (11.00-12.00) is bound to be popular, so grab a seat early.

During this session Cinegy will present its advice on ‘Exploring the total cost of ownership’ helped by BBC Northern Ireland’s Mervyn Middleby (head of Tech and Operations).

Sunday also sees Quantel’s Steve Owen (marketing director) and stereographer Richard Hingley talk about the challenges of 4K/60p post production for the recent FIFA World Cup – and no doubt another packed room.

Incidentally, the two describe the process as ‘an adventure’!

Quantel’s Steve Owen takes us on ‘an adventure’ on Sunday at IBC

IBC Content Everywhere Cloud Solutions is in Hall 3, and again offers a compelling line-up of experts. Again the sessions run from 11.00 with Friday’s presentations from Piksel, Dimetis (12.00-12.25), Civolution (14.00-14.25), JVC (15.00.15.25) and Avid (16.00-16.25).

Cloud-based ‘on-demand’ programming is not forgotten.

Microsoft presents with blinkbox (Saturday 14.0014.25) and Martin Wahl (principal program manager, at Microsoft’s Azure Media) and Jon Robinson (blinkbox’s group IT leader) explain how they’ve been able to scale, both in terms of their available catalogue and subscriber growth, and reaching extra second screen options.

Saturday also

sees Adobe (15.00-15.25) advise how it helped marketing implementation agency Hogarth produce advertising and a wide range of marketing communications for its clients around the world and from 20 different global locations.

Hogarth’s staffers can now view all media in one location but edit and access from anywhere they like. In Hogarth’s case, that might mean editing video in Bucharest with media that’s sitting in London.

Sunday’s sessions are every bit as fascinating and groundbreaking. ‘Head in the Clouds, Feet on the Ground’ (12.00-12.25) talks about a Russian retailer and how Vidmind created a ‘virtual’ TV station (TVzor) and claimed to have leapfrogged two iterations of the Russian broadcast landscape with built-in social media and OTT content.

More to explore at IBC IBC has taken care over the years to ensure that it reflects the concerns and challenges in the wider industry, and its special feature areas serve as an excellent barometer to understand exactly what it is that keeps the people trying to plot the future of the business awake at nights.

The IBC Content Everywhere Hub, situated at the heart of the inaugural IBC Content Everywhere event, will be one of their key destinations this year. Each day will host a programme of free-to-attend sessions and product demonstrations built around two, hour-long, curated and editoriallyindependent sessions and panel discussions. Subjects under discussions include Social TV, audience measurement in a digital world, in-stadia second screens for spectators, ‘dongle wars’ and much more.

Two of the most disruptive technologies to impact the industry also now shelter under the IBC Content Everywhere banner. IBC Content Everyone Cloud Solutions in Hall 3 features a theatre attraction that hosts both free-to-attend

presentations and case studies on cloud technology and products, allowing visitors to unpack the issues surrounding cloud-based solutions and weigh for themselves the benefits and potential disadvantages. IBC Content Everywhere Workflow Solutions, meanwhile, showcases the financial and production benefits of the disruptive technologies of tapeless production. You can find it, and its presentation theatre, in Hall 9.

A slightly larger auditorium is the home of The IBC Big Screen Experience, one of the many facets of the IBC show that makes it truly unique.

Situated at the centre of the RAI, the 1,700-seat venue is this year kitted out with Christie 6P 2D and 3D laser projection (which is still yet to be mass produced) and Dolby Atmos immersive audio. The Christie ‘6-Primary’ 4K laser projectors are yet to be mass produced — probably coming on stream in 2015 — so this will be one of the first places to see one running and witness the additional luminance they bring to cinema projection, particularly in 3D.

The IBC Big Screen Experience hosts a free programme of conference sessions under the theme "Disruptive Cinema", the perennially popular free screenings, which are typically Hollywood blockbusters chosen to highlight the power and capabilities of the audio and projection systems, and also the vibrant and fastpaced IBC Awards Ceremony, which takes place on the Sunday evening and is free to attend to all show attendees.

Over the years the IBC Awards has become one of the centrepieces of the entire show: a true celebration of the best the global industry has to offer which acknowledges excellence in a number of key fields. including the IBC International Honour for Excellence and the IBC Innovation Awards. It’s more than just an awards show too, often teasing the crowd in the RAI Auditorium with exclusive glimpses of the cutting-edge content that will be exciting audiences in the year to come.

Another free to visit part of the show that always draws significant crowds is the Industry Insights conference stream. These sessions are

free for all IBC attendees and are home to, among others, the always fascinating ‘What Caught My Eye’ sessions.

One of their picks is often located in the Future Zone. The Future Zone is the place where IBC attendees, and

IBC Content Everywhere Hub offers new insights

By Chris Forrester This year’s IBC will see three key Content Everywhere showfloor theatres offering free-toattend sessions with each focused on expanding visitors’ knowledge. The message behind IBC Content Everywhere grows exponentially, and now cloud-based solutions and the impact of tapeless workflows will strongly figure, says IBC producer Ian Volans.

In the IBC Content Everywhere Hub [Hall 14], for example, each day will see a programme built around a pair

10 Preview Issue

of hour-long, curated and editorially-independent sessions and panel discussions providing insights into consumer behaviour, business models and the technologies driving the growth of Content Everywhere.

These sessions will take place at 13:00 and 15:30, Friday to Monday.

Friday’s theme is ‘Building, engaging and measuring online audiences’, while Saturday’s sessions focus on ‘The regional dimension to Content Everywhere’ with a particular emphasis on the Middle East and Latin America. Sunday’s

sessions look at Sport, and are bound to be popular. One Sunday panel looks at LTE Broadcast, and the opportunities for in-stadia second screen activity. Monday examines ‘Dongle Wars’ and other new routes to content access, as well as ‘The Battle for Bandwidth’.

“To complement the sessions, a series of short demonstrations from a crosssection of relevant exhibitors provide visitors with opportunities to learn about the latest products and services shaping the development of

Content Everywhere,” says Volans.

The Hub will also host an impressive Download Wall where visitors to IBC can collect session and demonstrations presentations as well as brochures and factsheets, and Volans and his team are promising that visitors can tap with their personal ‘Touch & Connect’ device and thus save printed matter and the weight on their shoulders!

Over in Hall 9 visitors will find the IBC Content Everywhere Workflow Solutions Theatre showcasing the financial and

indeed, often anyone, first get to see some of the projects fresh from the drawing boards of some of the foremost technology institutions in the industry.

Over the years it has been host to all sorts of gamechanging exhibits and prototypes, including some that have gone on to have a much greater impact out in the main exhibition itself. What will be its highlights this year?

Acting on insights in video delivery Big data alone is not enough to reach higher operational efficiency and better customer understanding. You need actionable insights and now’s the time to act says Mikael Dahlgren, CEO, Agama Technologies “In the everevolving and fast-moving video service market, time is scarce and speed is of the essence”

Today’s sophisticated video delivery and service monitoring solutions, especially those covering customer viewing devices – be it traditional TV sets or mobile devices – generate vast amounts of data.

Millions of devices are continuously and concurrently reporting a massive set of parameters 24/7.

While difficult to make sense of, this data can create a lot of valuable insights for TV operators. These insights can become the cornerstone for developing an attractive and growing service, while also providing significant bottom-line savings.

To achieve this, you need to be able to extract the actionable insights of weight by discovering and understanding patterns that often come in the shape of complex, non-obvious relations within the wealth of data and not get stuck in the sheer mass of it.

Two main approaches are

available: the generalised analytics project approach, which is flexible but lengthy; and, the mission-focused analytics approach, where domain-specific understanding is incorporated within readymade applications that can deliver almost instant value in select areas.

In the ever-evolving and fast-moving video service market, time is scarce and speed is of the essence. With mission-focused analytics you can quickly and drastically reduce the size and complexity of the data to levels that make it possible to grasp, visualise and draw conclusions even on the nonobvious. This shortens time to insight and enables action.

For a mission-focused analytics solution to support the extraction of information in the shape of actionable insights, it must encapsulate sufficient domain understanding in processing and visualisation. This must be done without drowning

the user in data or destroying relevant information or relations by over averaging. If properly executed, such a solution can provide deep insights in e.g. continuous service quality improvement processes and trend analyses, far quicker and more straightforwardly than if fully generic analytics approaches were applied.

Imagine, for instance, being able to easily detect and eliminate systematic issues arising from certain combinations of viewing device, software version, service type, infrastructure topology and overall system utilisation. Issues that might have been foiling operations and customer-care teams over a long period of time; and, without powerful analytics would have been time-consuming to identify.

In another example, product management and marketing teams could optimise channel packages based on objective insights in channel usage for specific groups of

customers.

After a decade in this industry, we know that early and proactive elimination of problems combined with service optimisation are the best ways to make customers advocates of your service; and to reduce costs.

With mission-focused analytics approaches this can be made even easier.

We specialise in empowering TV operators’ business processes by creating the actionable insights needed to reach higher operational efficiency, the right level of service quality and better customer understanding. At IBC2014, we’re extending our solution with applications for missionfocused analytics including exploratory analysis of service quality and device behaviour, as well as of media consumption behaviour.

New Web TV service to deliver Content Everywhere at IBC A new-look online TV service with a round-the-clock linear schedule will be launched at IBC2014, called IBC TV – Bringing You Content Everywhere. Taking the place of the daily 20-minute morning magazine programme broadcast at IBC since 1996.

The new 24/7 live linear web channel will be on-air from the opening of the IBC Conference on Thursday 11 September, to the close of the IBC Exhibition on Tuesday 16 September. The new service will be accessible via any web-connected smartphone, tablet or PC and can be picked up at designated Wi-Fi hotspots around the RAI and at hotels across Amsterdam where IBC has negotiated free Wi-Fi access.

In addition, IBC TV will be shown -- with subtitles -- on 26 digital screens around the RAI exhibition complex, including on a massive outdoor digital display 12 Preview Issue

and on three large indoor screens in some of the highest traffic areas within the show.

Live streams from IBC Conference keynote sessions, followed by analysis from respected industry experts, will be the cornerstones of IBC TV’s daily schedules. Other IBC Conference sessions from the Forum will also be featured on IBC TV. Anchored by Rob Curling, the presenter familiar to viewers of the previous IBC TV News magazine programme, the new channel will also report business and technology news stories that break on the showfloor or in the Conference and provide practical information -- including the ever popular daily weather forecast for Amsterdam – to help visitors make the most of their visit to IBC2014.

The launch of the new format builds on experience gained

through a trial centred on the Workflow Solutions Theatre at IBC2013. In this showfloor auditorium in Hall 9, broadcasters and content

Conference Papers are the jewels

By Chris Forrester IBC Technical Conference Papers’ Programme has become the leading forum for the presentation and publication of the broadcast industry’s latest research and results. In this year’s programme, a comprehensive range of fascinating papers from international companies working in key technology areas, has once again been selected and crafted into a series of exciting presentation sessions scheduled throughout the Conference timetable.

“The competition for presenting technical papers at IBC is intense,” says Dr Nick Lodge, chairman of the IBC technical papers Committee.

“We regret very much having to disappoint some prospective authors, but our peer review and selection process does ensure that our final programme consists of the very best papers and is of the very highest value for our Conference delegates.”

This year’s technical papers’ programme includes two of IBC’s renowned ‘Cutting Edge Technology’ Sessions – this year’s sessions targeting future content creation, and display techniques and advances in ‘beyond HD’ imaging. There are also technical papers’ sessions on Ultra HDTV, high efficiency video coding (HEVC), high dynamic range video, advances in content production and transmission platforms, IP in the studio, archiving and restoration, social media and assistive technologies, broadcasting to mobiles and immersive 3D audio reproduction.

The IBC Conference technical paper programme is designed to be intricately informative (but also informal). The quality of the presentations and the subsequent lively audience Q&A’s, have enabled these sessions to become the real jewels in the Conference crown. theibcdaily

Shifting Gears: BBC Worldwide transformation

By Chris Forrester How does the leader of a traditional media business go about devising a vision and strategy that will equip and safeguard it for the future? A plan that takes account of new distribution, new formats, and new entrants – be they new partners, new competitors, or both (‘frenemies’)?

BBC Worldwide, by any measure, is a broadcasting powerhouse although not without its critics. CEO Tim Davie unveiled his vision for the future of the BBC’s commercial arm in October 2013. The threepronged plan involved increased investment in premium content, the launch of new channel brands, and a radical rethink of its digital operations aimed at delivering scale and competitive advantage over new digital entrants.

The past year or so has seen some unashamed ‘U-turns’ and a tightening of BBC-WW’s focus under Tim Davie. In this IBC 2014 Keynote, moderated by The IBC Daily’s Kate Bulkley, Davie will explain how the plan is delivering returns in the seven geographic markets in which it operates – returns that benefit

not only the BBC, but also independent producers, and viewers in the UK. He will explain the challenges that faced BBC Worldwide and how they were overcome, and how the strategy is transforming the business.

This important keynote also sets the agenda for the third day of IBC2014 in which we examine the potential impact of new entrants on established players, and explore how they are responding.

The eyes of the world

By Andy Stout The IBC show is huge: 1,500 and more exhibitors are spread out across all of the Amsterdam RAI’s 14 Exhibition Halls and many of them are unveiling new products and services at the show in front of a global audience for the first time. The sheer size of everything makes it easy for visitors to miss all that is going on, so a visit to the What Caught My Eye sessions is always worthwhile: it will save your feet aching if nothing else!

These sessions have become an IBC institution over the years; a series of three curated looks at the best that the IBC showfloor has to offer provided by experts in their fields in three separate categories.

Running on Saturday, Sunday and Monday mornings over breakfast at 8:30, Saturday's theme is Digital End-to-End, with the UK's head of the Digital Production Partnership, Mark Harrison, telling the story of the UK broadcasters' groundbreaking collaboration on digital standards. Sunday's theme is Social Media and Multiscreen, while on Monday, Vali Lalioti,

Eye-catching technology served up with interest from 1,500+ exhibitors

Professor in Leadership and Innovation at Antwerp Management School, looks at Innovation and an examination of the forthcoming technologies that may change the industry even further.

The What Caught My Eye sessions are part of the Industry Insights conference stream.

These sessions are free for all IBC attendees, but just as rigorously reviewed and vetted as the rest of the conference to ensure they still pass IBC’s extremely high quality thresholds. Other sessions look at rights from a multi-screen consumer’s perspective, examine the future of interactive entertainment, and host the IBC Innovation Showcase.

60 Seconds with –

Just Spee, CEO, Endemol As CEO of Endemol, Spee oversees a global business dedicated to creating, producing and exploiting onscreen entertainment in all genres, scripted and nonscripted, on all platforms, and watched by millions around the globe every day. Prior to becoming CEO in April 2012, Spee was Endemol’s CFO for a period of two years What changes have you seen in the industry in the two years since you took over the reins at Endemol?

One of the most striking things in the last two years has been the speed at which audiences have been adopting new technologies. The growth and impact of digital video, social media and online players such as Netflix has been particularly significant — and all are engaging audiences in new ways. We’re hearing less talk of the demise of traditional television. Its strength as a mass medium remains and that doesn’t look set to change for the foreseeable future.

Experience the Big Screen

By Andy Stout The IBC Big Screen Experience is one of the many facets of IBC that makes it truly unique, hosted as it is in the 1,700-seat Auditorium which, for the duration of the show, is kitted out with some of the most cutting edge cinema technology available.

This year the kit list features Christie 6P 2D and 3D laser projection and Dolby Atmos immersive audio. The Christie ‘6-Primary’ 4K laser projectors won’t enter mass production until next year, so this will be one of the first places to see 16 Preview Issue

one running and witness the additional luminance they bring to cinema projection, particularly in 3D. Dolby Atmos, meanwhile, uses up to 64 speakers to heighten the impact of any scene’s audio and allows sound designers to move the audio round an auditorium to create stunning aural effects.

All this technology will be put to good use too. Not only is the IBC Big Screen Experience home to the vibrant and fast-paced IBC Awards Ceremony, which takes place on the Sunday evening and is free to attend

to all show attendees, but it is also home to the Disruptive Cinema strand of the Conference. Subjects to be covered include laser projection, immersive audio, the role of the second screen — if any! — in cinema, the wholesale digitalisation of digital cinema, and much more.

How important would you say social media has become to the development of television programming in general?

Social media offers fantastic opportunities for innovation and is increasingly becoming an integral part of the entertainment mix. That said, it’s still in relatively early days and I think most would agree we have yet to see its full potential for content creators and distributors.

What are the difficulties inherent in making truly transmedia programming?

On the one hand the basic principles of great content are the same whatever platform it sits on. On the other hand, there are challenges and opportunities that can vary according to the type of content you are making.

For now I believe there is room for both. But in the longer term I think those that fail to offer viewers content on demand and on multiple platforms will increasingly struggle to compete.

Do you think we have a truly global market for television formats nowadays, or is a degree of localisation still necessary?

Of course we have a global market but the fact remains that before a format can achieve international success it must first become a local hit. So our creatives in each territory always aim to develop ideas that will work for the broadcasters in that market.

Touching & Connecting @ IBC2014

By Andy Stout IBC’s proud heritage of innovation continues with the deployment this year of up to 10,000 Touch & Connect devices to qualifying visitors to IBC Content Everywhere Europe. Touch & Connect promises to revolutionise the trade show experience for visitors and exhibitors alike.

Using the same near-field communications technology used by banks for contactless payments and travel cards such as London’s Oyster, Touch & Connect is a fast, fun and reliable way to exchange contact details or information by touch alone. Devices can be touched together to swap contact details, or can be touched to a ‘Tag’ to collect information from an exhibitor.

Each person has a unique online profile associated to their Touch & Connect device, meaning they can not only instantly exchange contact details but also gain access to the Touch & Connect portal. This is a gateway to a global community that helps keep like-

theibcdaily

A smart efficient paper-saving access to information and contacts

minded professionals in touch all year round, rather than simply during the five days of the show.

Within the Portal, visitors can view an easy-to-read timeline that provides an online record of exactly who they met, where and when, as well as all of their ‘tagged’ connections, exhibitor literature, videos and case study presentations on their own personalised webpage.

The online Touch & Connect Portal also has the option to link

to social media accounts of your contacts, or simply get in touch by email or in person. Visitors will also be able to download limitless amounts of content from the various exhibitors connected with IBC Content Everywhere, saving both time and paper (a boon for all those that have carried around vast armfuls of marketing material in the past).

In addition, whenever an exhibitor updates a brochure or marketing materials that a visitor had previously collected via Touch & Connect, the portal makes it wonderfully easy to access the very latest information, ensuring you are always up to date and informed.

In the same way that IBC Content Everywhere is part of the warp and weft of the whole IBC show, there will be Touch & Connect Download walls situated throughout IBC. But devices are strictly limited to the first 10,000 collected on site, so, if you do meet the qualifying criteria and are offered the free upgrade, the advice is to collect your device early so as not to miss out.

The beer is free ... and you can't argue with that

Friday Night Is Party Night The connectivity at IBC is not just around the equipment. Visitors to IBC are there to make connections with colleagues, peers, suppliers, customers and partners.

While many of those connections will be made in the conference rooms and exhibition halls, IBC provides plenty of opportunities for more informal networking too. Never more so than on Friday night, September 12: The IBC Party.

Starting at 18:30, the Diamond Lounge becomes the venue for networking – and for music, fun and dancing. All around the area you will find plenty of good,

simple food and free-flowing drinks.

The layout includes quieter areas for conversation, as well as lively music for dancing.

There will be strolling entertainers, games and attractions. Something for everyone to enjoy.

Gold and Silver Pass delegates receive invitations to the party, as do Friday’s Bronze Pass holders. Each exhibiting company has a number of tickets, based on the size of the stand, so hard-working staff can celebrate the successful end of the first day.

Relax, have fun and meet people at the IBC Party.

Sports, celebrities and social media feature at IBC Awards

One of the highlights of any IBC is the Awards Ceremony, this year to be held on Sunday 14 September in the Auditorium.

Alongside presentations of the International Honour for Excellence and the Special Award, it is the moment when the winners of the IBC Innovation Awards are announced.

These are unique honours.

There are plenty of places where the latest technology can be recognised, but here is only one set of awards that examines not how clever the technology is but how useful. The IBC Innovation Awards go to end users – broadcasters, production companies and content distributors – who have brought together the best suppliers to solve a real issue.

To win an IBC Innovation Award, the project has to be a groundbreaking project which has made the user more creative, more efficient or more connected to its audience. The ten projects on this year’s shortlist – from six countries – are very different, but all worthy finalists.

There are three categories, for

innovation in Content Creation, Content Management and Content Delivery. The audience at the Awards Ceremony will see short videos on each finalist. To find out which projects take the trophies home, you will have to be there.

The first nominee is free-to-air broadcaster Channel 4 in the UK. It wanted to make its coverage of horse racing, and particularly the Grand National, more engaging for audiences.

Working with Civolution, Monterosa and TurfTrax it developed the Horse Tracker app, which receives data processed from small data transmitters sewn into the saddle cloths of each horse.

Faced with more than 20 radio stations wanting to cover the American Music Awards in Los Angeles, each wanting a red carpet commentary booth, clean feeds, microphone mixing and distribution, Cumulus Radio Engineering thought IP. Using technology from Axia Audio, Broadcast Software International and Telos Systems they moved from a rigging nightmare to a single ethernet cable to each booth, with mixing and routing

on an iPad Mini.

Monday Night Football has been a feature on the UK’s Sky Sports since 1992, and the broadcaster continues to innovate its production. For the 2013/4 season the show saw its most dramatic and exciting look yet. To achieve this, Sky Sports worked with two technology partners who are normally competitors: ChyronHego and Vizrt collaborated to create a wow factor that has raised the bar for sports television.

Moving to Content Management, the first nomination is for a new broadcaster, BT Sport. The UK telco built its production and delivery base in part of the London Olympics broadcast centre at the beginning of 2013.

This brand new facility is of course entirely file-based, using the Digital Production Partnership format for ease of programme exchange. Dalet Digital Media Systems was its technology partner.

Télévision Francophone de l’Ontario transformed its operations to deliver bright, attractive and engaging content across multiple platforms, using

modern production techniques and content management. The new technology platform, built with technology partners Adobe, Applied Electronics, EMC Isilon, IPV, Oracle and Signiant, allows content to be shot on anything from a multi-camera HD studio to an iPhone. The aim is always to get the content online, and on air, as quickly as possible.

Output has increased by 40%.

Sky News Arabia was shortlisted for an IBC Innovation Award in 2012, when it first went on air. This popular broadcaster returns this year with its Project SkyNet, which links all its sites to create a disaster recovery network. Working with technology partners Blackmagic, Haivision, Nevion, Vizrt and Zixi, it built a platform that could be accessed and controlled from anywhere in the world over the public internet.

Four delivery challenges Four projects made it to the shortlist in Content Delivery, and the first comes from India. Airtel Digital Television wanted to be able to show tweets about its programmes, in realtime, as an optional overlay on the television

screen. The challenge was to achieve this with existing set-top boxes, without affecting any other functionality. The challenge was met with technology partner BrizzTV Media Labs.

The BBC iPlayer is seen as the most successful catch-up service in the world, delivering to over seven million users a day, on four screens and over 1,000 devices. That needs a powerful processing factory, and BBC Future Media developed a cloud solution to run on Amazon Web Services, with technology partners Atos, Codeshop, Elemental and Omnia.

Sky Deutschland also has a successful on demand service, and at the end of 2013 it augmented it with Snap. This puts much of its library of films, series and children’s programmes online as a standalone OTT product. Sky Deutschland assembled a huge team to collaborate on this successful project, including Accedo, Atos, Capgemini, Coeno, Contone, CreateCtrl, Deloitte, Fincons, HP, ID Media, Namestorm, NTT Data, SHS Viveon, Sky Italia, TDS, Wirecard and Weeks.

Last but definitely not least, Turner Sports has rolled out a broadband service for basketball fans. The NBC League Pass now allows subscribers to watch the game of their choice, with their local commentators and shot selection. The solution, developed with Adobe, Akamai, DNF Controls, Elemental, FreeWheel Media and Harmonic allows Turner to deliver every game over broadband to any subscriber on any platform: as many as 30 games a night, or over 800 streams published in realtime.

You can pick your own winners from these fascinating projects. To hear the choices of the judging panel – made up of international editors and consultants – you will have to be at the Awards Ceremony, at 18.30 on Sunday 14 September.

All IBC attendees are invited to attend this free event, which this year will include surprise guests and spectacular entertainment.

John Wilson 1932–2014 John Wilson, who led IBC through its transition to an independent annual event, has died at the age of 81. His career mapped many of the dramatic changes that have driven our industry over the last 60 years.

While still a student he spent the summer of 1953 working with the BBC and was tempted to return after college, but decided instead to join EMI, where he had the chance to work on the latest technology – transistors. “On completion of my graduate apprenticeship I was offered a position in the advanced circuits group, run by a man of great vision called Charles Kramosky,” John later recalled.

“At that time I was almost the only person with a serious knowledge of transistors at EMI Feltham.”

His career also included two years as a ground radar signals officer in the Royal Air Force, and a return to EMI where he became acquainted with television technology once more. But the big shift came in 1965 when he was invited to join the fledging Prowest Electronics, set up to develop transistorised studio monitors and other broadcast hardware.

From product development he moved into sales, growing the business and developing a substantial global reputation.

In 1977 he accepted an offer to become sales director of Link Electronics. His vision at that time led the company in new directions, including distribution of some of the earliest large screen electronic displays. That was spun out into a new business, Anna Valley Electronics, with John Wilson as managing director.

While at Prowest, he visited the first ever IBC, in 1967, and recognised it as a vital showcase for technology. In 1980 the Royal Television Society asked him to be its representative on the management committee of IBC, the start of an association between John Wilson and IBC that lasted almost 25 years.

Skills, contacts and vision By the end of the eighties it became obvious to all that IBC had outgrown its then home in Brighton. Moving to a new venue was clearly vital, but equally it was fraught with political and practical challenges. With the retirement of the previous chair in 1991, it fell to John Wilson to lead this most important stage of IBC’s

“A gentleman leader with a gift to motivate”

“John Wilson was always the perfect gentleman who in his own quiet way worked extremely hard for the benefit of IBC” David McGregor development.

Under his calm but firm diplomacy the seemingly impossible was achieved and a new structure was built for IBC. The original organisation had five trade bodies – IABM, IEEE, RTS, SCTE and SMPTE – represented on a management committee with the event organised by a sixth, IEE (now IET).

The ever-expanding IBC would need a lot more muscle, so Wilson and his team proposed a structure whereby all six were partners in a new and independent IBC. This balanced the efforts required from the stakeholders with a share in the rewards of IBC. Many people were involved in the negotiations, but its success was due in very large measure to Wilson’s skills, contacts, and vision; and by his indefatigable capacity for travel to talk to sponsors, exhibitors and visitors. The first IBC in Amsterdam took place in 1992; the show became an annual event in 1995; and the new business structure was agreed in 1998. Wilson was chair of the management committee from 1991 to 1998, and served as president of IBC

from then until 2004.

Through it all he remained softly spoken, polite and calm at all times. David McGregor, founder of TSL and a veteran of every single IBC, said “John Wilson was always the perfect gentleman who in his own quiet way worked extremely hard for the benefit of IBC and the broadcast industry in general. His chairmanship transformed IBC into the welldrilled organisation it is today.”

David Crawford, a former chair of the IBC Conference, added “John was never too busy to give his time to show an interest, and help someone feel good about their individual contribution to IBC. A gentleman leader with a gift to motivate.”

Wilson was a fellow of RTS and SMPTE, and an honorary member of IABM. In 2005 Her Majesty the Queen appointed him OBE for services to the television and electronics industry. As well as his work with IBC he was a member of the management council of the British Board for Film Classification. Happily married for 53 years he is survived by his wife Jacquie, three children and four grandchildren.

Software-defined monitoring for IP video is at the core of the planned Mariner IBC demonstrations this year as the company showcases enhancements to its xVu solution for ‘video anywhere’.

Mariner xVu increases visibility into the home, providing operators with analytics and realtime monitoring tools to ensure a superior QoE on any screen.

The number of data sources Mariner xVu enables providers to pinpoint the root cause for

degradation of service, arming their network operations team, help desk and field technicians with the tools to manage endto-end IP video quality. It aims to offer a clear understanding of the viewing experience by delivering insight, in realtime, to those who influence and assure the customer experience.

The company explained that its ability to rapidly isolate network, content or service problems helps reduce mean time to repair service, truck rolls and STB swaps, which in turn ensures a more costeffective broadband and IP video service.

IP developments for ENG TVU Networks

By Will Strauss Options for OB vehicles and mobile phones will be among the live mobile IP newsgathering innovations on show.

The TVU MLink is being touted for IP-based OBs. When rack-mounted in the truck this IP ENG transmitter allows users to aggregate available bandwidth from mobile, Ka-band satellite, Ku-band satellite and microwave links in order to deliver what TVU describes as a “stable, resilient transmission from practically any location.”

MLink transmitters can be used with a roof-mounted antenna and are capable of transmitting live video with subone second latency.

At the same time, the TVU Anywhere app is the suggested solution for mobile IP ENG. When used with a TVUPack receiver, TVU Anywhere turns a compatible iOS, Android, Mac or Windows device into a live video

transmitter. Features of the free downloadable app include store and forward, IFB and the ability to both control transmission settings from the studio and to aggregate Wi-Fi and 3G/4G/LTE connections.

Improvements to the TVUPack on-camera transmitter will also be on show. These include the ability to aggregate any combination of mobile, WiFi, ethernet, satellite or microwave connections for live video broadcast with subsecond latency.

IP switching, routing and distribution is another focus for TVU in 2014 with TVU Grid. This innovation uses a broadcaster’s existing IP network to switch in realtime to any source video made available on the grid or from the internet.

A final development, TVU Social, enables crews in the field to take stills from the live video transmitted through TVUPack and post them directly to their social media networks without requiring a separate device.

The ‘all in one’ VR-50HD reduces the hardware and the set-up time required and

provides a ‘plug in and play’ solution. Instead of needing a number of separate products, it combines an audio mixer to mix the audio inputs from various sources including microphones, a video mixer to mix video and computer sources using different connectors (digital and analogue), preview monitors to

view all the sources, the ability to record or archive the event and also to stream the event online.

The video side of the VR50HD features a 12-input, 4channel multi-format video switcher that also includes a still store channel for graphics, logo or frame capture. Inputs can be 3G/HD/SD SDI, HDMI,

RGB/component and composite. Outputs include USB and both a Main and Aux bus, both available via SDI, HDMI and RGB/Component connections. An additional HDMI output is included for an external multi-viewer monitor if desired.

Right on Cue: The new Endura Cue range from IDX

Cue battery cost savings IDX

By David Fox The new Endura Cue battery range from IDX is claimed to combine enhanced reliability with lower cost. The Lithium Ion batteries have been designed to meet the most stringent PSE regulations for electrical and mechanical safety – essential for air travel.

There are three V-Mount models: Endura Cue-D75, Endura Cue-D95 and Endura Cue-D150. All have D-Tap DC output, allowing peripherals to be powered direct, while a discharge cut off prevents them being damaged by products without a voltage-sensing shut down mechanism. Four LEDs provide a quick check of remaining power capacity. The range comes with a one-year capacity-better-than-70% and a two-year defects warranty.

The cells have been supplied

by Sanyo, which has combined improvements in design and manufacturing with developments in microchip technology to reduce the component count and improve reliability. The Cue range includes battery circuit protection, to counter overcharging and discharging or exposure to high temperatures.

IBC Posters move to Art Gallery

By Chris Forrester In a new departure for IBC the always popular Poster presentations will this year be presented in their own technology Art Gallery (located in the Future Zone). The exhibits are wholly international with contributions from Russia, South Korea, Europe, the Americas and India. The authors will be present to explain their concepts on Friday and Saturday.

The changes should make it easier for delegates to question authors and have them explain what are always the very latest in research and innovation in broadcast and communications.

The Poster topics are a natural extension of IBC’s conference and complement many of the subjects presented in the IBC2014 Conference Technical Papers and Technology Stream sessions.

In particular, this year’s themes are focused on some extremely ‘hot’ topics, not least: Ultra HDTV: including IP production studios for UHDTV, de-interlacing SD/HD for UHD delivery and transmission of UHDTV using legacy technology 3D audio & video: presenting experiments in 3D immersive audio perception, realtime editing of multiple live 3D video feeds and creation of 3D images

New studio technologies: with a studio profile HEVC codec, techniques for visual quality metrics and advances in handling video over IP Developments in transmission: proposing innovative bit rate reduction schemes for multimedia, video surveillance via DTV networks and remote activation of DTV receivers Latest Applications: showing cloud-based architectures for interactive sports, audience segmentation using ‘Big Data’ solutions and music generation by crowdsourcing The Poster presentations enable IBC to show the very latest ideas and results by research organisations from all over the world in the exciting and buzzing atmosphere of the Future Zone. There is a great opportunity to see all the Posters and Future Zone exhibits on Friday 12 September at 16:00, when the IET hosts an open drinks reception celebrating the achievements of the authors and exhibitors, acknowledging the glimpses of the future that they are providing, and announcing the publication of the acclaimed ‘Best of IET & IBC’ Technology Journal for 2014.

Canon’s 4K cinema servo lens Canon

By David Fox The new Canon CN7x17 KA S is its first cinema lens to feature a servo drive unit, making it more suitable for handheld broadcast use for 4K and large sensor cameras.

It is claimed to offer a bestin-class focal length of 17120mm, and is available in EF-mount and PL-mount versions, while the addition of the servo drive unit, with high speed zoom, iris and focusing, lends itself to a more fluid shooting style, for drama, documentaries or current affairs.

zooming, while immediate start-up means shots won’t be missed in dynamic situations.

It supports 4K resolution shooting, with a 7x zoom range and a maximum Tnumber of T2.95.

The lens is also suited to tripod-mounted use. Zoom, focus and iris can all be controlled using Canon’s existing zoom and focus demands. Virtual studio use is also supported via 16-bit encoder output.

For more traditional moviestyle shooting, the servo drive unit can be removed completely, with follow focus units and matte boxes fitted, while re-installation is quick and simple, with no adjustment of gear positions

required.

The CN7x17 KAS S supports communication between lens and camera.

The EF-mount version uses Canon’s own system, while the PL-mount variant is the first in the Cinema EOS series to support Cooke’s /i Technology. There is also support for 12-pin serial communication.

Canon will also be showing more than 100 lenses in a vast array of focal lengths and types, from ENG to cinema to EF lenses, at IBC, as well as numerous 4K demonstrations, including 4K output from studio camera configurations and live colour grading enabled by its 4K reference monitors.

Transmitters aim for all-round efficiency GatesAir

By Michael Burns Based on transformational PowerSmart 3D architecture, the new Maxiva TV and DAB radio transmitters are being introduced for over-the-air broadcasters across the UHF and VHF spectrum.

GatesAir's Maxiva UHF series comprises of the ULXT liquid-cooled model, for medium-to-high power broadcasts, and the UAXT air-cooled model for lowto-medium power requirements. The broadband amplifier design increases power density in both models, reducing transmitter footprints and rack space requirements by up to 75%, said the company. GatesAir said this design also simplifies maintenance, as it offers modularity, lighter weights and fewer parts.

The designs of the Maxiva ULXT and UAXT enhance energy efficiencies to reduce carbon footprint and lower operating costs, claiming possible annual power savings of over 50% for over-the-air broadcasters.

On show is its Maxiva VAX aircooled VHF transmitter, built on the same PowerSmart 3D architecture and delivering similar operational efficiencies The VAX covers mostly low-to-medium power VHF requirements, and is aimed at broadcasters operating large networks from space-challenged facilities, or local broadcasters filling in coverage gaps across expansive regions. For radio broadcasters, the Maxiva VAX can be used for DAB radio networks, with advanced inputs including Encapsulation of DAB Interfaces (EDI) to support signal distribution over IP networks.

Clipster certified for Atmos mastering Rohde & Schwarz DVS

By Carolyn Giardina The Clipster mastering system is now certified to enable users to create DCPs with a Dolby Atmos mix.

Dolby Atmos is an “objectbased” immersive sound format, and recent films including Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Guardians of the Galaxy and Transformers: Age of Extinction were given Atmos mixes for supported

cinema theatres. A beta version of Clipster with Atmos was used last year for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.

Clipster can generate compliant DCPs in realtime – no matter if the material is in 2D, 3D, 4K or high framerates. By using Rohde & Schwarz DVS's JPEG2000 encoding hardware, 96 frames can be converted per second.

Now, Dolby Atmos mixes can additionally be integrated in the mastering process for the DCP. “Dolby Laboratories always delivers exceptional technology that has and will transform the entertainment and cinema industry,” said Bernhard Reitz, head of product management at Rohde & Schwarz DVS. “Combining our technological know-how in past projects has shown us what we can achieve for the cinemagoers.

We are delighted that the audience will benefit from our

Atmos was launched in the spring of 2012. At press time

roughly 650 Dolby Atmos screens have been installed or committed to in more than 40 countries.

Script Extractor speeds subtitling productivity Screen

By Ian McMurray Scripts come in a variety of different layouts and anyone wishing to make use of such content in a machine-readable form can waste a lot of time trying to isolate just the material they need to use, according to exhibitor Screen.

For subtitling or dubbing customers who rely on using scripts to increase their

24 Preview Issue

productivity, Screen says that it recognised the need to speed up the process of extracting useful payload as quickly as possible from any script layout.

Faced with the challenge of identifying and isolating the required information from a range of script layouts, and discarding unwanted material, Screen developed the Script Extractor.

Script Extractor is an assistive tool, designed to enable a user to quickly identify examples of the material of interest, and to

automate the task of retrieving all similar instances from the script. The user highlights one or two items of each of the content types they are interested in on the uploaded script — for instance, speaker label and dialogue — and using a sophisticated pattern matching algorithm, the Script Extractor then picks out similar content to be preserved, and ignores the other items. A process which used to take 20 minutes or more can now be completed within a minute or two, claims Screen.

If a series of scripts is received from the same production company, all in the same layout, then a “‘template’ can easily be saved so that the “training” provided in one session can be retrieved and used again.

The output may then be imported into Screen’s WinCAPS Qu4ntum subtitling software where speaker labels can be used for automatic subtitle colouring and where the dialogue and timecodes are used to create subtitles.

Pendant powers safe sound DPA Microphones

By Michael Burns A robust wearable mini-mic aims to give control of microphone placement to non-technical actors or reality show contestants without compromising sound quality.

The d:screet Omnidirectional Miniature Necklace Microphone is making its IBC debut, but is already being used in the Danish adaptation of Big Brother. The necklace mic houses the company's 4061 miniature capsule in a soft rubber necklace.

“These microphones are perfect for situations where fast costume changes are necessary - or for reality TV shows where the contestants have to place microphones without help from a trained

audio engineer,” said DPA CEO Christian Poulsen.

“The necklace design ensures that the microphone sits in exactly the same place on the body every time, so there is no need for EQ-ing between different recordings.”

DPA will be demonstrating the necklace mic on the stand of its Dutch distributor Amptec, alongside more robust variants of its d:screet 4060 Omnidirectional Miniature Microphones.

The classic d:screet 4060 gains reinforced cable relief, while the heavy-duty d:screet 4060 microphone features a stainless steel housing and a thicker 2.2 mm cable.

“Our new robust strain relief version brings much needed reassurance to reality television contestants who are not used to handling miniatures,” said Poulsen.

Global 4K production showcase Sony

By Adrian Pennington Highlights of the FIFA World Cup shot in 4K, including the final won by Germany, will be central to Sony's exhibit.

It will be showing how its 4K products from cameras to switchers are helping pioneer live and recorded Ultra HD production. Among this summer's other landmarks supported by Sony technology were the UK's National Theatre production of War Horse live in 4K to cinemas; the BBVA League finale between FC Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid, and broadcasting the canonisation of Popes John XXIII and John Paul II. As part of the FIFA TV broadcast production of the World Cup, Sony partnered with Presteigne Charter, Studio Berlin, CTV, AMP Visual TV and Broadcast RF to deliver three matches in 4K, including a quarter final match and the final, which were also streamed live to digital cinema screens for the first time ever in Ultra HD. Sony is also taking time to showcase how its IP-based solutions are helping broadcasters to deliver accurate multi-camera live productions.

This trails the announcement earlier this year of a licensing programme for Sony’s new AV over IP Interface for manufacturers, promoting the adoption of this technology across the industry.

There will be further detail on how the vendor is helping national and global news broadcasters to modernise their workflows, delivering increased data transfer speeds that reduce the time between acquisition and transmission. It recently announced that broadcasters RTP, ITV, TVE, Scottish TV and RAI have all switched to Sony XDCAM. “IBC provides a great opportunity to meet with our customers and partners to trigger ideas which could distinguish the future of professional A/V,” said Olivier Bovis, head of AV Media, Sony Europe. “Even in the 12 months since IBC2013, we’ve delivered a host of industry firsts which show how our vision for a world ‘Beyond Definition’ is coming to reality. IBC2014 starts the next chapter of that story. We’re looking forward to meeting our customers, hearing their feedback, and plotting out together what’s next around the corner for the broadcast industry”.

A 200MB pipe was used to deliver the streams in full 1080 HD format, for file upload and provision of on-site internet connectivity. “Achieving a Guinness World Record is welcome recognition of SIS Live’s unique ability to deliver live coverage from technically demanding events such as this,� said David Meynell, managing director, SIS Live. “Leading the delivery of such a high-profile event and working with other parties is what SIS Live does best.�

Optimize the performance of your broadcast operations with the reference in cross-media VFKHGXOLQJ ZRUNČľ RZ DQG FRQWHQW life cycle software

By Ian McMurray A new TV distribution installation recently designed for Croix-Rouge Française, the French Red Cross, has at its heart an Anevia Flamingo XS head-end.

The Anevia gateway was chosen and installed by Netlogon, a specialist in the integration and commissioning of IPbased networking systems. The new installation is located at the recently modernised La Ruche EHPAD nursing home in France. La Ruche has 86 rooms, each equipped with a connected Samsung Hospitality IP television receiver providing access to a large number of IPTV channels via the Flamingo XS. The system streams live multicast television directly to each room. It also provides about 40 channels of TV content from free-to-air digital terrestrial and satellite sources.

"Anevia's Flamingo technology was the

capsules of the EDF Energy London Eye were taken over by more than 100 DJs and artists for a celebration of UK club culture dubbed Red Bull Revolutions in Sound. Every capsule saw one legendary club night come alive with resident DJs and superstar guests, including Fac51, The Haçienda, Fabric, and Blitz Club along with artists such as Lily Allen, Rudimental and Katy B. Another capsule housed two presenters hosting a bespoke Channel 4 live webcast of the event, broadcast live on channel4.com in the UK and via YouTube for the rest of the world, via multi-camera feeds from each capsule.

The La Ruche nursing home now delivers television services to 86 rooms

logical choice for this turnkey project,� said Netlogon sales director Emmanuel Hardy. “It connects directly to smart TVs without requiring any additional interface or set-top box. Deployment, administration and operation were very easy. Thanks to the modular and scalable platform, the range of TV services can be expanded if or whenever this is required.

Our own Netlogon Middleware, e-NHSTM, is also scalable, allowing easy addition of new features such as VoD, internal information pages, family portals, daily news or internal channels."

A transformative Imagine debuts at IBC2014 Imagine Communications

By Carolyn Giardina Marking its first IBC since Imagine Communications transformed from Harris Broadcast, the company is coming to Amsterdam to demonstrate how it plans support the media and entertainment industry through the transition to a future defined

by IP, software-defined networks and workflows, virtualisation and TV Everywhere.

Among the initiatives, it plans to show expanded ‘playout in the cloud’ plans with demonstrations combining

content originating from public and private clouds with onramps and off-ramps to bridge baseband video and IP; hybrid integration with on-premises playout systems; and transformation for multi-platform delivery.

It will also highlight its MultiService SDN (softwaredefined networking) framework for media companies operating in hybrid baseband and IP environments; and new advertising tools for the Landmark business application management platform.

Using technology gained in

the acquisition of Digital Rapids earlier this year, Imagine will also be presenting the Xenio workflow management platform.

Addressing consumer adoption of TV Everywhere it will additionally demonstrate the SelenioNext adaptive bit rate transcoder, SelenioFlex software-based media processing technology for live and file-based encoding and transcoding, and the SelenioEdge content delivery network software for streaming to end-user devices.

Imagine’s stand will also feature its processing and compression portfolio.

New processing tools making their IBC debut include

the Selenio X100 1RU processor, with a path for IP and UltraHD, and new modules for the Selenio MCP (media convergence platform) that support JPEG2000

Eye pro: An extreme close up captured by an iPhone with iPro Macro lens

iPhone gets iFull with iPro Schneider Optics

By David Fox An iPhone with an iPro Lens System from Schneider Optics can be a useful part of a documentary filmmaker’s kit, according to Sebastian Lindstrom, co-founder of production company What Took You So Long.

For a documentary about women with obstetric fistula, the team took two Canon 5Ds to Liberia, plus a 7D and an iPhone to capture slow motion and extreme close-up footage. “We shot with the iPhone 5s — mostly in 720p at 120fps — and iPro Super Wide and Macro lenses,� said Lindstrom. “The Macro captures the same details as a $1000 lens would. It’s amazing how close you can get with it — so close, we were able to position it just inches from a person’s iris.� “In retrospect, we should have left the 7D at home, because the daylight

footage we caught with the iPhone and iPro lenses was superior.�

He could quickly position the iPhone for shots that a DSLR would require a jib for, “and you could never get smooth travelling shots by holding your DSLR outside of a car window with your hand like we did with the iPhone. We believe that the iPro Lens System used in conjunction with the iPhone 5s for slow motion filming has the potential to become an important, value-added component for any type of documentary work.�

What Took You So Long has worked in more than 70 developing countries, some of which don’t take kindly to visiting filmmakers, “so it’s very beneficial to be able to shoot with the iPhone - now with professional-grade lenses that are easy to conceal.� The iPro lenses are now available for the Samsung Galaxy S4, as well as the iPhone (4/4S and 5/5S) and iPad (Mini, Air, and iPad 2+).

Making the most of live media EVS

By Michael Burns A multi-source, file-based ingest server and tools for live production, automated archive and production workflow operations are some of the live media asset systems to be showcased at IBC by EVS EVS said its OpenCube SD/HD server offers an extended range of MXF file generation, advanced MXF file interoperability, including AS02, AS-03 and AS-11, IMF support, and management of ancillary data (closed caption, subtitling) throughout the entire production and archive chain.

EVS will also be presenting the latest IPDirector tools for automated archive and production workflow

operations. The new Melt feature offers automated playlist creation of all key actions (clips) created during live operations and transfers to archive, post or offsite production. It also attaches the log sheet and original metadata, which the company says provides significant clip retrieval advantages.

IPDirector also features new AutoClipping capabilities for automatic clip creation based on associated keywords.

These are added using the IPDirector logging tool or by importing external statistics information linked to the liveevent timecode.

A new range of live production tools based on the XT3 platform are also on show. A series of live control panels, MultiReview, LSMConnect and Epsio Zoom, offer on-the fly media control

On the air: IBC TV is depending on Forscene to provide its self-service syndication workflow

capabilities during live operations. Both the company's XT3 and XS production servers now offer extended format support and capabilities including 4K, 1080p and proxy, as well as 10Gb ethernet connectivity.

The C-Cast Xplore web browsing interface provides immediate access to live multi-camera recording feeds and clips on XT3 servers, giving production teams the ability to work remotely and enhance content on the fly, regardless of location.

EVS will also be using its Hall 8 stand to demonstrate how C-Cast has been deployed at major sporting events this year, allowing broadcasters to combine live production infrastructure with a flexible central cloud-based platform.

Direct and to the point: IPDirector's Melt feature offers automated playlist creation during live production

Updates in place for IBC TV Forbidden Technologies

By Michael Burns Positive user feedback has helped enhance the Forscene post production system that lies behind IBC TV, and delivered a raft of improvements to users of the cloud-based platform.

IBC TV, the official broadcaster for IBC2014, will once again use Forscene to provide its self-service syndication workflow. A Forscene server based at the RAI conference centre will compress and upload material

shot by the IBC TV teams during the exhibition.

Participating broadcasters and IBC exhibitors will be able to access library content provided under editorial control, including rushes and daily programme footage. New this year is 24hour coverage that will be available year-round to subscribing exhibitors and news outlets.

IBC will also use Forscene to view entries and prepare content for the IBC2014 Awards for the first time this year.

As well as a new look and feel for the Forscene user interface and a new publishing framework, Forbidden Technologies is introducing a high-res codec for the system, to enable dynamic display of high or low resolution proxies.

Users can also now move original source material from one Forscene box to another and take advantage of a new media asset management system.

In addition it is releasing iOS and Android Forscene apps and providing new documentation for supported camera and ingest formats.

Crestron programmers can use the Matrox Monarch HD Control API or the VS4Recorder API to interface Matrox products with Crestron 2-Series and 3-Series room media controllers. Operators 32 Preview Issue

can then start and stop streaming and recording from within the Crestron interfaces.

“Crestron integration is one of the top user-requested features for our streaming and recording products,” said Daniel Maloney, technical marketing manager, Matrox Video. “Our APIs let AV integrators eliminate the need for additional control surfaces in venues such as lecture halls, corporate office buildings, museums, hotels and convention centres.”

Matrox Monarch HD is an H.264 encoder designed to allow producers to

simultaneously stream a live event and record a masteringquality version for post-event editing. From an HDMI input source, Matrox Monarch HD generates an H.264-encoded stream compliant with RTSP or RTMP protocol. While encoding the video at bitrates suitable for live streaming, Monarch HD simultaneously records a high-quality MP4 or MOV file to an SD card, a USB drive, or a network-mapped drive.

The VS4Recorder comes bundled with Matrox VS4 quad HD capture cards. It gives live event producers synchronised
