Heavyweight names to deliver 2017 keynote sessions IBC Conference

By Chris Forrester IBC’s keynote sessions are always informative, and frequently highly entertaining.

Who can forget Will.I.Am or Professor Brian Cox, or 2016’s Lord David Puttnam, Mr Ang Lee or Sir Martin Sorrell? Each was hugely informative but also extremely entertaining.

This year’s VIP speakers are equally fascinating. Journalist and broadcaster Andrew Neil, never less than vigorous with reluctant MPs, is looking after Thursday’s keynote session ‘Creation, Consumption & Corruption’ (17:15-18:30) and examining ‘The New Architecture of News’ with CNN International managing director Tony Maddox, Claudia Palmer, chief business officer & CFO at Reuters, and Dow Jones chief executive William Lewis.

Consulting editor Kate Bulkley asks: “While the appetite for news has never been bigger, how are organisations from CNN to NBC and Dow Jones recasting business models around news-gathering, audience engagement and storytelling to thrive in a world of instant information online, on mobiles

01 IBC 2017 Preview v1JRDLJMcK.indd 1

and on social media?” The panel will also examine a world where ‘fake news’ flies around the planet in an instant, and where news organisations themselves are in the political firing line.

Thursday morning also sees Bulkley moderating a keynote panel called ‘Fans, Friends and the Future of Broadcasting’ (09:15-10:30) with Facebook product director Daniel Danker and Modern Times Group’s chief executive Jørgen Madsen Lindemann.

The duo will debate the rise of fan and friend power in the media ecosystem and discuss how the lines are blurring between traditional broadcasting and online video. They will also ponder what these new audiences are teaching us, and how some of the major news players are responding.

Friday (09:45-10:30) brings in a heavy-hitter in the form of Brian Sullivan, chief operating officer of the Digital Consumer Group at Fox Networks, 21st Century Fox. Sullivan will explain how Fox is pioneering new ways to connect with customers across the globe by innovating with content that speaks more powerfully and connects more directly with audiences, delivered via traditional and

digital platforms that better fit the needs of today’s consumers.

Sullivan will cover how Fox is coping with the direct challenges from the OTT disruptors and is retaining viewers in an age when those consumers have never had so much choice.

Saturday’s keynote (14:0015:00) brings in John Cassy, co-founder at BAFTA-award winning immersive content studio Factory 42 and Sky’s former 3D boss, to chair the panel. He will line-up with Richard Steiber, the senior vice president of Virtual Reality (VR) at HTC Vive, and examine the transformative role VR is taking and how it is connecting with audiences. This keynote will look at today’s status and the

road ahead for VR, highlighting the variety of consumer devices emerging as well as showcasing successful VR experiences across platforms that emphasise the opportunity ahead for VR from entertainment to sports.

Sunday’s keynote (09:45-10:30) is the big one, and part of IBC’s all-important new Sports strand.

Topics up for discussion include ‘Beyond Live: New Tech Pushing the Boundaries’, which will look at the challenges facing sporting events that are distributed globally to different cultures, time zones, and devices; and ‘Engagement Beats Reach Any Day and Twice on (Any Given) Sunday’, which will discuss ways to craft, promote and monetise engagement opportunities.

Conference 2017: truth, trust and transformation OUTLINED

Michael Lumley, chair of the IBC2017 conference, looks at some of the highlights in this year’s programme The IBC Conference is the most authoritative and inspirational debate in the calendar. It is the global destination for debate and discussion about the many challenges facing our industry.

We create that conversation through the design of our conference programme and by ensuring there are plenty of opportunities to network around it.

When we devise each year’s conference, we take a careful look at what is happening in the industry and ensure our focus is your focus. We draw together the real issues affecting the world of media, entertainment and technology and bring in the most informed, and sometimes the most provocative, thinkers on each subject to drive the debate forward.

Part of that planning is to set an overall theme for the conference, one that encapsulates what we are trying to achieve. This year the mission for the conference is Truth, Trust and Transformation.

Our conference programme embraces the latest technologies and the business opportunities they present.

We have a rich acronym soup including VR, AI, AR, IP, MXR, OTT, 5G, UHD, HDR and more.

But we are also looking beyond the headline technologies. Delving deeper, we will look at the cyber security implications of the IP transformation and cloud migration. We will also investigate the facts behind fake news.

To help you navigate your way through the programme we align it into a number of streams, although of course your conference pass entitles you to attend any session from any path. The streams are

03 IBC 2017 Preview v1JRDLJMcK.indd 1

there as guides to help you make the best use of your time.

When the founders of IBC were developing the very first event in 1967 they recognised that it needed an authoritative technical conference alongside the exhibition. Fifty years on and IBC is still seen as the most prestigious place to present the latest research, and the technical papers programme is a central part of our Advances in Technology stream.

This has been another year when we have received a record number of submissions for the technical papers programme, underlining its importance to the industry. I am indebted to the team of peer reviewers who consistently produce a remarkably strong, diverse and relevant programme each year.

We have four other streams, covering the whole of the value chain and every aspect from technical through creative and operational to commercial. Content and Production, Platform Futures, Business Transformation and Audiences and Advertising are planned both as complete streams but also as complementary strands, guiding delegates through today’s real issues and current thinking.

Sunday sees a special day of presentations around the subject of sport. Always at the cutting edge of technology, we will take a long look at the opportunities for the future, including the impact of the rise in alternative sports, the importance of fan engagement, and the rapid rise of e-sports.

Once again IBC’s remarkable technical team is building the very cutting edge of digital cinema technology into the RAI Auditorium. The IBC Big Screen includes multiple high brightness laser projectors and

Michael Lumley: “Our conference programme embraces the latest technologies and the business opportunities they present”

Dolby Atmos sound. It will be used for demonstrations and presentations, not to mention the Awards Ceremony on Sunday night and the everpopular movie screenings.

The IBC Big Screen is a fourday programme from Friday to Monday, and will include a keynote presentation – more details soon. This programme is free to all IBC visitors, not just conference delegates.

IBC Conference Keynote Sessions set the agenda. We bring together global leaders to set out their view of the world, from which the debates spring.

Thursday, the opening day of the conference, sees a plenary keynote with Daniel Danker, product director of Facebook, and Jørgen Madsen Lindemann, chief executive of Modern Times Group, talking about Fans, Friends and

the Future of Broadcasting.

They will get straight to the heart of the “truth, trust and transformation” agenda, considering how the unfettered world of social media is changing the concept of the impartial, trusted broadcaster.

Other keynote speakers on the schedule include Tony Maddox, managing director of CNN International, alongside William Lewis, chief executive of Dow Jones, on the creation, consumption and corruption of news. On Friday Brian Sullivan, president and chief operating office of the digital consumer group at Fox, will talk about “the consumer has the power – deal with it”.

This year sees a strong focus at chief technology officer (CTO) level, not least considering the role of technology in business transformation.

This includes Latha Maripuri of News Corp, Balan Nair from Liberty Global, Diane Tryneski from HBO and IBC advocate John Honeycutt of Discovery Networks International. Looking forward, on Saturday there is a keynote from Rikard Steiber, the president of Viveport at HTC Vive.

These keynotes are hugely popular catalysts for the 80 conference sessions and close to 400 speakers. This all builds to make the IBC Conference the one you really cannot miss.

The programme is available at show.ibc.org, and we have innovative online tools to help you plan your way through the conference. Registration is still open, so do not delay in seeing the riches that are on offer and booking the right pass for you. I look forward to meeting you all in Amsterdam in September.

Content and Production: the key to IBC

By Chris Forrester It is no great surprise to discover that IBC’s ‘Content & Production’ stream of conference sessions (Thursday, E102, 11:00-17:00) is among the best attended during the show Claire Tavernier, founder of StoryTechLife, and producer of the stream, says that this year’s

sessions focus on the way content is being transformed by changes in viewer behaviour and consumption.

“We will spend a lot of time looking at news, in a year that has seen the rise of alternative facts, Wiki-leaks and presidential Tweets,” she explained. “We will ask: what is the role of a news broadcaster in this new world

order? We will also consider children’s TV, which may well herald the future of all TV. If kids are watching TV, but not on TV, what does it mean for a children’s content producer or broadcaster?

“In addition we will learn from large online editorial platforms about scheduling and commissioning content for digital consumption, and discuss

you will have full access to the 2017 Technical Papers after the conference.

Planning to spend more time at the conference? The Silver Pass gives you access to all five days of the conference, allowing you to make the very best of your time at IBC. Refreshment credits are also included with your badge, to make sure you can get a coffee when you need one.

As well as access to every conference session you wish to attend, including reserved seating in the busiest sessions, this adds the comfort of our VIP Executive

with one of the largest public service broadcasters in Europe how its content strategy is being influenced by changes in audiences’ and advertisers’ demands.”

The stream will also take a close look at some fascinating studies in VR and AR production, and try to learn from them.

“With speakers from TF1, BBC, Le Monde, Associated

Fantastic at 50 In 1967 a small group of industry figures – led by John Tucker of EMI, Tom Mayer of Marconi and John Etheridge of Rank – organised an exhibition and conference in a London hotel. They called their event the International Broadcasting Convention (IBC).

Fifty years on and IBC is still organised by the industry for the industry. It is a much bigger event: there were around 550 visitors in 1967; this year will see 100 times that number. And 50 years ago the industry was focused on a rather simpler television age.

Otherwise, in many ways IBC is still very much the same event.

It has three distinct strands: a comprehensive exhibition; an engaging and informative conference; and the opportunity

04 IBC 2017 Preview v1JRDLJMcK.indd 1

to network with friends, colleagues and peers from across the industry and around the world. IBC2017 has also inherited the vision that has been the focus from the earliest days.

“There will be some events marking the golden anniversary of IBC, not least the charity football match planned for the Saturday evening,” says Michael Crimp, chief executive of IBC.

“But my toast is that the principles set down by our founders 50 years ago will continue into the exciting media future that is unfolding around us.”

Lounge with refreshments and a buffet lunch each day.

Access to the Executive Lounge includes the use of meeting rooms and business services and as a Gold Pass delegate you are entitled to reserved seating at the IBC Awards Ceremony and the movie screenings.

All conference passes include all the benefits of the exhibition pass and the costs and benefits of the various passes can be found online.

Registration is simple and registering in advance means you secure savings, can collect your badge and conference bag within seconds of arriving at IBC, and ensure you get straight to business.

Press, Turner Broadcasting, FremantleMedia, LadBible and Al Jazeera, the day promises to deliver a unique and groundbreaking perspective on some of the key transformations of the content business, and what they mean for the broadcasting industry,” concluded Tavernier.

The home of technology OUTLINED

IBC Exhibition Committee chairman Roger Thornton casts his eye around the ever-expanding estate of IBC and picks out some highlights As I am sure you know by now, this is a very special IBC, coming 50 years almost to the day since the very first, in London in 1967. As a teenager (just) at the time, my principal memories of that year are of the still unsurpassed music and the flowers in the hair (not mine I hasten to add).

But my predecessors on IBC committees put together an exhibition, in a London hotel.

Back then there were just 30 exhibitors and a mere 550 delegates. This year we have to find space for more than 1,700 exhibitors and 55,000 people!

IBC was started by people in the industry who felt that broadcasting needed a worldclass exhibition. No one else was doing it, so they did it themselves – by the industry, for the industry. That is still the way we organise IBC today.

Fascinating though it is to look back, the really important thing is to look forward. And just as IBC in 1967 showed the latest and coming technology – colour was new and exciting back then – so this year we are once again providing the forum for visitors from around the globe to come together to see the latest in techniques and technology.

Undreamt of in 1967, we have special focuses on 5G and cyber security, with special conference sessions as well as demonstrations on the show floor.

Our groundbreaking presentation on IP interoperability, which was a major focus last year, is back again, even bigger, better and more interactive.

With the publication of the SMPTE IP connectivity standards ST 2110 and AMWA NMOS specifications, we can move on to real-world implementations. This year the IP Showcase combines demonstrations, real-world scenarios and education sessions developed in conjunction with the IABM (the

06 IBC 2017 Preview v1JRDLJMcK.indd 1

IBC2017 will once again showcase the latest techniques and technology

trade body for manufacturers and vendors and an IBC partner), providing all visitors with stimulating presentations of practical applications.

Back in 1967, IBC was definitely about broadcasting, but today the world of electronic media is much broader. Consumers expect to be able to access content everywhere, and IBC has long catered for new and emerging businesses developing innovative ideas around content consumption.

Hall 14, the temporary building we erect at the front of the RAI exclusively for IBC, is home to our Content Everywhere exhibitors. The demand this year is bigger than ever and, as such, this is the biggest pavilion we have ever built. As always, it contains its own stage and rolling programme of presentations

and debates in the IBC Content Everywhere Hub. To help and encourage the very newest entrants to our industry we are once again including the IBC Launch Pad, providing space to showcase the latest high-quality, innovative solutions and the start-ups and scale-ups that create them. This is closely linked to the IBC Startup Forum, a new venture for this year, with a set of presentations and seminars, along with a Deal Room to bring ideas and implementers together.

Still looking forward, the IBC Future Zone is always a favourite. Did you try the virtual reality roller coaster last year?

The IBC team identifies the research labs and academic institutions that are completing groundbreaking work, and invites them to bring along their projects and prototypes. The

researchers behind the ideas are on the stands so you can see and feel what they are thinking, then talk to the people behind the ideas and maybe even influence the direction of their work. The plans for this year look really exciting with a focus on multi-sensory virtual worlds and imagery of the future, with an LED tunnel displaying some of this year’s most innovative content taking you from night to day within the Future Zone.

Add to that the presentations in the IBC Big Screen – not to mention free movies on Saturday and Monday, and the Awards Ceremony on Sunday – and the outdoor exhibits, and the IBC Exhibition really is a must see.

On a practical note, Amsterdam is working on increasing its hotel capacity.

When you bring an event as

big as IBC to any city you are always going to put pressure on hotels, but more rooms are coming on stream this year, and by 2019 there will be a hotel on site, immediately beyond Hall 12 on the way to the station.

Talking of stations, IBC regulars will have been walking around the hoardings over the new Metro line for more years than they care to remember.

We are absolutely assured that the new line will be fully operational by September 2018, making a huge difference to journeys to the RAI from the centre of Amsterdam.

This year we revived the exhibitors’ workshop, and I met many of our exhibitors on site back in May. I look forward to welcoming as many more of you as I can in September.

I really hope you enjoy what I believe will be the biggest and best IBC so far.

Celebrating innovation OUTLINED

What other awards ceremony brings together an American broadcaster, an Indian online network and a Spanish railway operator? No awards are more varied, more engaging and more relevant than the IBC Innovation Awards, themselves an integral part of the IBC Awards.

Central to their importance is that they are not just about technology. To win an IBC Innovation Award you have to demonstrate a real creative, technical or commercial problem and a collaborative approach to resolving it.

The awards themselves go to the end users, not the technology providers.

For 2017, IBC’s 50th anniversary year, the three categories of awards have been updated to reflect the direction in which the industry is moving.

There are prizes for the most innovative projects in content creation, content distribution and content everywhere.

The response to the new-look awards has been incredible. “I was astounded by the quantity, and most important the quality, of entries this year,” said Michael Lumley, chair of the judging panel. “It took a lot of intense discussion to get down to 11 finalists – it was a very tough task and there were many excellent projects which did not make the shortlist, often by a very fine margin.

“The international spread of 2017 finalists reflects the global reach of IBC, and the global significance of these highly coveted awards,” Lumley added. “I look forward to congratulating all the finalists and hearing the winners announced on Sunday night at IBC.” The Content Creation category has three finalists.

UK commercial broadcaster ITV needed to manage the production of promos and trailers from commissioning to transmission. The result, ITV Phoenix, creates more than 1,000 marketing assets every month, with almost all versioning carried out automatically.

Technology partners alongside

08 IBC 2017 Preview v1JRDLJMcK.indd 1

ITV were 100 Shapes, Cantemo, Codemill, NMR, Pixel Power and Vidispine.

When Mediacorp in Singapore built a new production and delivery campus, it took the opportunity to implement a unifying service-oriented architecture. Systems integrator Qvest Media brought in an enormous number of technology partners, including Actus, Adobe, ATCi, Autoscript, Avid, Axon, Blackmagic Design, Canon, Cisco, CyberArk, Dalet, Dell, DHD Audio, Elium, EVS, Fairlight, Grass Valley, Harmonic, Hitachi, HP, IBM, IHSE, Interra Systems, Lawo, Lund Halsey, Microsoft, Netia, Octopus, Oracle, Raritan, Robert Bosch, Ross, RCS, SAM, ScheduALL, Sencore, Shotoku, Solid Stage Logic, Sony, ST Electronics, Telestream, Tektronix, TriplePlay, TSL, Veritas, Vizrt, VMware and Yamaha.

Groupe Média TFO, once a small, French-language broadcaster in Ontario; now a major online presence producing much-loved children’s programming, took a fresh approach to virtual sets. Its Laboratoire d’univers virtuels, or LUV, uses the power and cost-effectiveness of the Unreal games engine from Epic Games. Today TFO produces as many as 40 short videos, in real time, each day, from a single studio. As well as Epic, technology partners were CEV, stYpe and Zero Density.

First of the four finalists in the Content Distribution category is UK-based outside broadcast provider Arena Television.

It led the way with its first all-IP truck, regularly used to originate 4K Ultra HD coverage of the English Premier League.

Technology partners were Cisco, Grass Valley, Lawo and Videlio Video Solutions.

Dutch playout company DMC, now owned by TVT, has migrated to a fully virtualised private broadcast cloud for the asset management, publishing and distribution services its international clients need. The new platform was developed with Cisco, Equinix, Pebble

Director Mr Ang Lee received the International Honour for Excellence at IBC2016

Beach Systems, Red Hat, Super Micro and VMware.

Sinclair Broadcast Group, operator of 173 television stations in 81 US markets, has taken a new approach to terrestrial transmission. The usual American model is “high tower, high power”: a single mast and transmitter. The new approach – developed

by TeamCast and ONE Media for Sinclair – takes a cellular approach, using minitransmitters just where they are needed in a large single frequency network.

Viacom 18, a joint venture in India between Viacom and local service provider Network 18, runs a multi-channel OTT network called VOOT. It uses a progressive web service to deliver content to the 300 million smartphones in India, driving a 77 per cent increase in conversion from visitor to video viewer. Google provided technology support.

The new category, Content Everywhere, drew a large and extremely varied set of entries.

First of the four finalists is BT Sport for its coverage of

the 2017 Champions League Final in Cardiff. The multi-layer presentation involved complex coverage in HD and Ultra HD plus a unique 12-camera live VR offering. Technology partners included Dolby, Elemental, Ericsson, EVS, Moov, SAM, Sony, Telegenic and Timeline Television.

To eSports, next. For the finals of the 2017 Intel Extreme Masters tournament, held in Poland, ESL needed to find a delivery partner that could deliver live feeds to 13 broadcasters in multiple regions, with additional OTT and digital cinema delivery to some territories. ESL partnered with Deluxe to enable the delivery of live ESL broadcast feeds over the public internet.

Google Earth is familiar to us all, but now it has added Google Earth VR, using touch, sight and sound to engage the viewer. New techniques render images smoothly, maintaining the immersion without confusion or motion sickness.

Technology partners were Ant Food, Even/Odd, Joshua Moshier and Richard Devine.

And finally a real content everywhere application: ensuring consistent media delivery on trains travelling in excess of 300km an hour.

Renfe, Spain’s national railway operator, worked with Telefónica to ensure its 19 million highspeed rail passengers can access premium content and live sports on trains and at stations as if they were at home. Technology partners include Alstom, Talgo, Siemens, Hispasat, Indra, Accedo, Signiant, Nagra, Cires21, Cisco, Hirschmann, Iecisa and Teldat.

The winners of IBC Innovation Awards will be announced during the IBC2017 Awards Ceremony, at 18:30 on Sunday 17 September in the RAI Auditorium. The special guest host for the evening is scientist and broadcaster Dr Helen Czerski. She will also introduce all the other IBC Awards, including the IBC International Honour for Excellence, IBC’s highest accolade, presented last year to director Mr Ang Lee. The ceremony is free to attend for all IBC attendees.

IBC2017 Conference: news, sport, technology and more OUTLINED

The unrivalled global destination for industry discussion and debate

By Chris Forrester IBC delegates only have to look at last year’s conference panels to see how prescient they were. We had WPP’s Sir Martin Sorrell telling us to beware of GAFA (Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon) each of which was out to steal broadcasting’s lunch. He also said “Trump could win”. The GAFA statement is truer than ever in 2017, and we all know the impact Donald Trump is making!

During that same 2016 show, Dominique Delport, the global managing director of Havas Media Group, as well as chairman of Vivendi

Content, told delegates that the “50-year party was over” for broadcasters and that digital was increasingly the game to reach audiences.

Indeed, a major investment bank in July downgraded – once again – most of Europe’s commercial broadcasters because of increased anxieties over ad-income threats.

These topics will again feature in the 2017 programme, where this year’s theme is ‘Truth, Trust & Transformation’, as speakers and delegates grapple with a fast-changing industry.

While there are plenty of sessions devoted to the nuts and bolts of today’s

broadcasting demands, others will focus on highly topical elements such as ‘The New Architecture of News’ (Thursday, Forum, 17:15-18:30), or companion pieces ‘Lies, Damn Lies and Alternative Facts’ (Thursday Room E102, 11:45-12:30) and ‘Fake News or Alternate Facts’ (Thursday, Room E102, 14:45-15:30).

Thursday also sees a complete strand devoted to ‘Platform Futures’ and in particular how content producers are developing new distribution methods to reach their audiences.

Produced by Bill Scott, the chief operating officer of Easel TV, the strand looks

at how NBCU is backing Hayu as a potential new model (Thursday, Forum, 11:15-11:45) with other follow-on sessions answering the vexed question: ‘What is a Platform Anyway?’ (Thursday, Forum, 12:10-12:40).

Social media is another Thursday focus, with heavy hitters on the ‘Social Networks: Friend, Frenemy or Foe’ session (Thursday, Forum, 14:05-15:00) including speakers from Facebook, Viacom, Foxtel and Kantar Media.

Technology is always in focus at IBC and the popular Emerald room is busy throughout the show

with back-to-back sessions on ‘Building a Better Codec’ and the compelling ‘What does the Future of TV Delivery Look like’ on Thursday and ‘Connectivity’, ‘Advances in Technology’, ‘VR and AR: The Production and Pitfalls’ on Friday. At almost three hours long, the EBU session is always informative and, as such, always draws a crowd too (Saturday 15:15-18:00).

IBC2017 devotes extra sessions to sports on Sunday (Forum, 09:45-13:00). This is followed by panels on distribution, engagement with viewers and newlycreated sports events.

4K 4Charity Go for Gold Start your day with a 4k fun run on Saturday September 16

Now an established part of the IBC programme, the 4K 4Charity Fun Run will take place on Saturday, September 16 at 07:30. The 4km run or walk event is located at nearby Amstelpark, allowing participants to be back at the RAI in plenty of time for the exhibition’s 09:30 opening.

In addition to jump-starting your day, participants will also be raising money for two great nonprofit organisations, as 100% of the registration donation directly

benefits the following charities: Stichting NewTechKids is a Netherlands-based foundation that brings technological literacy education to primary-age school students in disadvantaged communities. In little more than a year, the organisation has established a network of 21st century skills clubs in Southeast Amsterdam focusing on helping girls, children from minority groups and those from low-income families grow into “Rising Technologists”.

Heifer International is a global initiative dedicated to ending hunger and caring for the earth.

Currently active in 30 countries, it helps families feed themselves through sustainable gifts of livestock, resources and training, transforming communities through the empowerment of women, access to markets and environmental restoration.

The Toshiba booth will feature several exciting showcases including the latest PCI-Express NVMe SSDs which are directly connected to the CPU, opening up a whole new world of editing and post-production performance. The highlight on display will be the new ZFSStorage cluster with TB capacity

Set to make its IBC debut is Boxilla, a centralised AV management platform that, in conjunction with the KVM-over-IP solution InvisaPC, allows the connection of editors’ workstations and control rooms to both physical and virtualised servers.

At IBC2017 Black Box will be showcasing the integration of the high-performance 4K60 KVM matrix switching product DKM with Boxilla. According to the company, the idea is to help broadcasters implement virtualised resources into their current workflows, without the need for a costly replacement of existing and proven systems. Operators, directors or editors may then simply switch to virtualised applications, just as they are now switching to physical servers.

Virtualisation already comes with a huge cost saving potential (maintenance, less

physical hardware, saving space in server rooms), according to Black Box. Boxilla expands on this by future-proofing the server/ KVM infrastructure, lowering the total cost of ownership, and enabling the centralised management of all connected KVM systems throughout a facility or between facilities.

Boxilla helps IT administrators and broadcast technicians assign bandwidth to specific KVM-over-IP endpoints, monitors user access, manages user access rights, helps to deploy new endpoints and more. Moreover, the system can be accessed through a secure web console, enabling administrators to monitor and control KVM/AV networks from anywhere.

Live broadcast just got easier for Televízia Markíza

Riedel

By Heather McLean Broadcast Solutions has installed Riedel’s MediorNet real time media network on board Alphaline A12, a new HD OB van commissioned by Slovakian television network, Televízia Markíza.

Working in tandem with Riedel’s Artist digital matrix intercom solution, MediorNet provides a decentralised and redundant communications and signal routing backbone for Televízia Markíza’s line up of live sports and entertainment broadcasts. Riedel will be talking about the installation at IBC this year.

Rainer Kampe, Broadcast Solutions CTO, said: “MediorNet’s decentralised routing approach is perfect for live broadcasting. Not only does it reduce the single points of failure, but it also makes things simpler and more efficient by placing physical I/O closer to where it’s needed while also reducing copper.

Alphaline A12 is our first OB deployment of MediorNet, and we know we’ve made the right choice to deliver the bulletproof communications capabilities Televízia Markíza requires.”

Alphaline A12 is capable of supporting 14-plus cameras in productions and provides critical backup support for the network’s studio programming. Broadcast Solutions worked with Slovakian systems integrator Elektronika to design and install the van’s MediorNet network, consisting of a MetroN core router, 16 MicroN high-density media distribution network devices, and four MediorNet Compact stage boxes. An Artist 128 intercom system with 14 keypanels provides flexible high-quality communications.

Is TV resilient, or are the new kids stealing its lunch?

IBC Conference

By Chris Forrester Broadcasters and TV platforms are operating in an increasingly fragmented multiplatform TV market where audiences are moving away from linear TV, and towards other forms of consumption.

New, well-funded entrants are changing consumer expectations around pricing and availability of premium film and TV content; and at the same time we have seen a proliferation of content at the free or ad-funded end of the spectrum. However, the pace of change is uncertain. In many respects, TV has been incredibly resilient.

Karin Bergvall, a senior strategy consultant at MTM and IBC’s co-producer of the fascinating ‘Audiences and Advertising’ sessions (Saturday, Forum, 09:30-18:30) says that the stream explores how broadcasters and TV platforms can reach, engage and monetise their viewers in this new world. It asks: what

14 IBC 2017 Preview v2JRDLJMcK.indd 1

are the realities of the changing customer landscape – and how can broadcasters and media companies stay relevant in an increasingly competitive and global market?

The stream’s portfolio kicks off at 09:30 with ‘Mythbusting: What’s Really Happening to TV Audiences’, featuring speakers from Liberty Global, Channel 4 and Ericsson Broadcast.

This session promises to cut through the hype and debate whether linear TV is dying.

The same companies – but with different speakers – then continue the debate as to what’s Hot or Not, and how new consumer devices and technologies will impact the market (10:30-11:15).

The Audiences and Advertising stream continues with ‘The New TV: Who’s Really Watching?’ (11.3012.15) when Tom Toumazis MBE chairs a panel comprising speakers from Little Dot Studios, Big Balls Media and gamers video platform Twitch. The panel will question the importance

of the new players in the video ecosystem, including Facebook, and consider whether they are transforming the TV experience.

‘Find me Something Good’ (12:15-13:00) explores the future of the TV experience, and asks whether voice control, recommendations and personalisation is transforming that experience, and provides views on how consumers might view TV in the future.

‘Mad Men in the Digital Age’ (15:15-16:00) looks closely at the latest developments in reaching viewers while ‘Blockchain and Broadcasters’ (16:00-16:45) is a masterclass session exploring the opportunities for broadcasters in distribution, transparency and anti-piracy.

The latter will also ask why the industry must be aware of blockchain.

The day wraps with up with a session on Sponsorship: ‘Sponsored by SAP: The Game of Sponsorship’ (17:45-18:30) chaired by Mike Kemelmakher, founder, SAP Innovation Center.

Transformation through technology C-TECH FORUM The broadcast and media industry used to drive technological development: now the breakneck speed of new challenges and opportunities can border on the bewildering. To develop strategies and share knowledge on two key areas, IBC has added a new strand of invitationonly sessions aimed at chief technology officers and other C-level staff.

On Friday there is a day given over to cyber security.

Recent high-profile security breaches at Sony, Netflix and TV5 Monde have pushed the issue to the top of the agenda.

Media and broadcasting is a critical part of national infrastructure, so our industry has a responsibility to society, as well as to shareholders, to keep the dissemination of information safe and secure. But what does that mean, in an increasingly complex world? In the IBC C-Tech Cyber Security Forum delegates will learn and debate the issues in this

confidential atmosphere with speakers from a number of organisations including Sky, News Corp, Microsoft, Google, ITV, HBO and PBS. On Saturday a second event moves the theme from threat to opportunity.

5G promises pervasive, ubiquitous and very fast mobile connectivity. It represents an existential challenge to the telco and tech companies preparing to roll it out, and to the broadcast market which may – should? – seize upon it as far more than a transport layer.

The IBC C-Tech Forum: 5G programme will bring together the telco, mobile, broadcast and media sectors to debate and share information. Expert speakers from companies including Sky, EE, Ericsson and the BBC will guide delegates beyond what 5G can do into the business transformational questions of how, when and what needs to be done to make 5G a commercial and social success.

Enabling connectivity, enhancing lifestyles Alticast

By Ian McMurray Software solutions enabling new digital connectivity opportunities and enhancing lifestyles in the digital connected home are set to be demonstrated at IBC. In conjunction with its deployment partners, Alticast will show how its three business units – cloud, platform and security – are designed to harness the cloud, big data and other technologies to enable pay-TV and online video providers to implement new user

experiences, end-to-end online video services and proactive security platforms that aim to safeguard consumers, networks and data.

Among the new products is Ambient TV, which the company describes as a complete Software-as-a-Service solution that allows cost-effective and rapid entry into the over-the-top video space. Already deployed by a major Korean cable operator, Ambient TV is said to be fully integrated with OTT core elements, including DRM and multi-DRM systems.

HEVC bolsters TVU One TVU Networks

By Will Strauss Recently added HEVC (H.265) capabilities within the TVU One live newsgathering transmitter are se to be shown in Europe for the first time at IBC. The mobile IP device from TVU Networks uses the company’s patented Inverse Statmux Plus (IS+) algorithm to transmit “dependable” HD quality video with half-second latency.

Capable of being used on a moving vehicle, the TVU One is available with embedded modems and can transmit simultaneously over mobile, microwave, satellite, BGAN, WiFi and Ethernet.

Paul Shen, CEO, TVU Networks, said: “Based on recent customer feedback, we’ve incorporated significant enhancements into our product range that optimise their operational efficiency, workflow and automation capabilities. The efficiencies of IPbased solutions, such as in our TVU One with HEVC, make this a particularly exciting time for those that specialise in IP-based video workflow.

IBC’s popular regulars remain vital OUTLINED

By Chris Forrester IBC’s conference sessions are never anything less than compelling, but it is essential to remember that many of the show’s regular features are still able to command headlines and offer unique insights into the industry.

For example, IBC’s Big Screen, in the main RAI Auditorium, is – for many visitors – their main reason for attending the show. The sessions feature state-of-theart cinema projection and sound installation, and over the four-day programme examine and demonstrate the hottest topics, themes and insights surrounding the art, science and business of cinema from capture through to exhibition.

And 2017 is somewhat special because the cinema industry is now almost universally digital. IHS

Technology says that some 155,000 screens around the world are now digital. In fact, other than some screens in India, and pockets of specialist 35mm projection, the world’s cinemas are now totally digital.

IHS explains that cinema technology is not standing still. High dynamic range (HDR) is beginning to emerge and immersive audio is proving popular with audiences. There’s also 4D, mostly from Korea, while immersive motion seating has been installed at some 615 screens, as well as virtual reality and holography.

These topics, and many more, will feature in IBC’s cinema coverage. There are dedicated sessions from Red too, and Sony’s CineAlta and ARRI, as well as a fascinating panel which looks at HDR and wider colour gamut and the differences achievable.

Big Screen panelists are drawn from the ‘best of the best’ and each has direct expert experience of their topics.

Indeed, where could you hear from AMPAS, 21st Century Fox, Christie, IHS, Unique, Deluxe, Barco and others all in the same place, other than at IBC? These speakers and more will appear in the Emerald Room (15:15-18:15) on 17 September.

You can also add in the ever-popular IBC Content Everywhere Hub sessions, which for 2017 are focusing on offering consumers “content everywhere” and catch-up services which are now essential requirements for many traditional broadcasters. The ability to deliver content OTT across broadband networks has also opened the door for new players to establish their own direct relationships with new audiences. IBC Content

Score for charity Are you a keen footballer? Ever fancied running out against some of Europe’s greatest players? If so, IBC is offering you a unique opportunity.

Sport has long been a major driver of innovation in broadcast and media, and a regular hot topic at the conference. To mark its 50th anniversary, IBC has decided to get involved with two great local sports charities in Amsterdam – and to have some fun as well.

The Friendship Sports Centre and the Edwin van der Sar Foundation support

16 IBC 2017 Preview v1JRDLJMcK.indd 1

children and adults with physical or mental disabilities, or chronic illness, by giving them somewhere they can become part of a team through sporting activities. Everyone is welcomed, and every person counts.

To raise money for these excellent charities, an IBC Legends Team will take on Lucky Ajax, a team of former professionals, many associated with four times European

Cup winners AFC Ajax. The game is on Saturday evening, 16 September.

If you want to take part, go to show.ibc.org/the-ibc-bigmatch. There are just 13 places on the team, available to those who act fast and commit to a donation of at least €1,500 a place. It’s a great cause and a wonderful opportunity.

Everywhere brings together technology companies and service providers that are at the heart of this revolution.

Another success is IBC’s Launch Pad (Hall 9), now in its third year. The mega-trend towards IP-based infrastructure and software tools is transforming the industry at lightning speed. Blackbox hardware is being replaced by virtualised solutions that underpin content everywhere.

Super-fast and ubiquitous broadband connectivity enables remote application and appliance upgrades; and innovation is emerging at breakneck speed from new and established technology providers alike. This exciting feature of the IBC Exhibition is your chance to see new technology and exhibitors never before seen at IBC. A perennial favourite is IBC’s What Caught My Eye sessions,

where – as the producers say – ‘we walk the halls so that you do not have to’. The team then brings together products and video interviews that demonstrate some of IBC’s product highlights.

Indeed, many of these showcased items end up being nominated for an IBC Award.

On that same subject, IBC2017 will, of course, also have its annual International Honour for Excellence. 2016’s winner was director Mr Ang Lee, and recent previous winners include James Cameron, Manolo Romero and Sir David Attenborough. There are also awards for best stand design and best conference paper.

IBC’s prestigious Innovation Awards are divided into Content Creation, Content Distribution and Content Everywhere. The 2017 shortlist can be found on the IBC website (show.ibc.org).

Plan your trip If you have not yet finalised your plans to visit IBC, do not delay.

No other electronic media convention offers the same opportunities to discover, to share and to learn, and that is why IBC is expecting over 55,000 attendees this year.

Hotel accommodation in and around Amsterdam will be in high demand so book now to secure the accommodation of your choice at a price that is right for you.

To ensure our visitors get the best deals, IBC works closely with the hoteliers of Amsterdam, through RAI Hotel Services. It has a huge inventory of hotels that it guarantees through a scheme called I Amsterdam Approved.

At the time of writing there are rooms 10 minutes away from the RAI for less than €100, and city centre accommodation from as

little as €115. The service has availability in hotels from two stars to five stars.

Booking through RAI Hotel Services ensures you get another valuable bonus. Every room under its I Amsterdam Approved scheme for IBC includes free breakfast and free WiFi. You can start your day catching up with the office or checking out IBCTV, while enjoying a good breakfast at no extra cost.

The simple route to booking your accommodation is to go to show.ibc.org/planyourtrip.

You can see all the hotels available and click through to make an instant reservation. It is simple and secure, and the best way to find the best deals.

Here you can also find travel information, with exclusive flight discounts and our top tips for getting around Amsterdam.

Cloud-ready flexibility Agama Technologies

By Ian McMurray Dedicated hardware, private cloud, public cloud or a mix?

That’s the question Agama Technologies will be asking visitors at IBC – and claiming that, whatever the choice, the Agama solution is cloud-ready and can be deployed on any platform.

The company claims that to best understand the performance of video solutions, monitoring tools need to be deployed alongside them. In addition, it said the increasing use of analytics in the video service domain requires significant amounts of processing power and storage – this can benefit from the costeffectiveness of a cloud-

based implementation.

However, an increased focus on security and privacy is pushing operators to retain critical parts of their solutions in-house.

To handle the transition to a partly cloud-based infrastructure, Agama said that a solution needs to efficiently support any mix of dedicated hardware and private or public cloud implementation.

Svensson: “We see the flexibility provided by virtualisation as a key success factor”

To find out more, go to show.ibc.org and find the Startup Forum under Content Programmes.

Anders Svensson, CTO, Agama Technologies, said: “We see a lot of operators virtualising parts of their solutions. This spans everything from individual functions to the entire back-end of the video solution. Part of it is being driven by outsourcing to service partners, and in part by efficiency of implementation. In either case, we see the flexibility provided by virtualisation as a key success factor.”

Uncompressed transmission over long-distance runs Guntermann & Drunck

By Ian McMurray New KVM solutions for the extension of 4K and 8K video signals are claimed by Guntermann & Drunck to be pixel-perfect, latency-free and fail-safe. One such is the KVM extender DP1.2VisionXG, which transmits 8K resolutions at 60Hz uncompressed, lossless and without any latency.

The KVM system consists of a computer and a user

18 IBC 2017 Preview v2JRDLJMcK.indd 1

module. Operators benefit from uncompressed transmission of high-resolution DisplayPort videos over distances up to 10,000m. The device is available in variants with up to four video channels. Thanks to the source synchronicity of the video channels, video resolutions up to 8K can be extended over long distances.

The DP1.2-VisionXG uses optical fibres for the dedicated transmission of signals and therefore provides enough bandwidth for uncompressed, high-resolution DisplayPort 1.2

G&D is set to showcase the new DP1.2-Vision extender generation

video signals, keyboard/mouse, RS-232, USB 2.0 and audio.

Demonstrations, expert panels and key information OUTLINED

By Chris Forrester IBC’s Content Everywhere Hub sessions (Hall 14) are often ‘standing room only’ such are their popularity. They always offer the latest information on the ever-increasing demands being placed on broadcasters and content producers and provide a place for delegates to top-up their knowledge.

The sessions are particularly for those visitors who create, manage and deliver entertainment and news content worldwide, offering the most comprehensive overview of developments in this fast-moving field.

The IBC Leaders’ Summit is an exclusive invitation-only event attracting more than 180 eminent electronic media and entertainment industry leaders.

latest products and services shaping the development of new connected technologies; and looking at their impact on traditional broadcast media.

The opening session (Thursday, 11:00) looks at how the traditional silos of TV, web, mobile and social networks are merging, and how video content will evolve accordingly. This session is typical of the content on offer which – in a highly focused manner – will brief delegates on the latest solutions available to the market.

Other sessions look at DRM, Coping with 4K, HTML5, Harmonisation for

research and the collaborative participation of C-level delegates to create a two-day experience that informs and shapes future strategy.

Designed specifically for the most influential and visionary people at the top of

the industry, the IBC Leaders’ Summit provides a programme that facilitates high-powered discussion and lively debate.

It takes place behind closed doors, so delegates can speak their minds, address issues and highlight their concerns

As well as offering a thought-leading schedule of panel sessions and product demonstrations, the Content Everywhere Hub is also a convenient central location for informal meetings and networking. Indeed, more than a few solid relationships have evolved because of the Hub’s networking meetings. You just never know who you might bump into.

Jünger Audio will be focusing on smart audio at IBC2017, highlighting the effectiveness of such solutions within the broadcast environment.

The company claimed its Smart Audio concept encompasses effective, high-quality and possibly automated audio production, particularly in live broadcast and production environments.

The concept has already been adopted by broadcasters such as Sky Sports, Input Media and ARD Tagesschau.

Peter Poers, head of business

development at Jünger Audio, explained: “Today everybody expects and requires a constant flow of high-quality digital media.

However, broadcasters are reluctant to invest resources on simply improving audio quality.

The Smart Audio concept not only guarantees a predictable, high-quality performance, but also offers a remarkable increase in efficiency for the production and post production processes.”

By using the company’s Smart Audio adaptive algorithm solutions, customers can achieve high-quality sound in an efficient way and with minimal requirement for manual control or intervention from an operator.

The CTO’s Road Map: looking ahead OUTLINED

By Chris Forrester The speakers appearing on the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Road Map panel in the Forum (14:15-15:15, Friday) can expect to be asked the toughest questions by moderator Gerry O’Sullivan, a board director at Piksel and former Sky exec. O’Sullivan will push them to explain their strategic road map for the next two to five years, and outline the opportunities and inevitable challenges around key broadcasting technologies.

The panellists are drawn from some of the industry’s bestknown companies and include Liberty Global CTO Balan Nair, HBO chief digital officer and executive vice president of technology Diane Tryneski, Discovery Communications CTO and chief information officer John Honeycutt and Latha Maripuri, global chief

information security officer and deputy CTO at News Corp.

Indeed, while there are plenty of technical panels at IBC that will touch on UHD, HDR, VR or IP, or simply managing to deliver programming to consumers onto a zillion devices, few will match this panel of acknowledged industry experts for solid advice and insight into how they see the industry evolving.

An inevitable topic will be that of IP, described recently as ‘the last great paradigm shift’ for broadcasting, something that is affecting every stage of the production and delivery of content. These are fundamental changes and their impact on workflow is significant.

One other topic almost certain to come up is cloud automation and utilisation, and the growing importance of digital distribution.

Discovery recently invested in

DivvyCloud, for example, and Honeycutt praised the business possibilities that could flow from the stake. News Corp’s Maripuri was formerly with IBM as director of worldwide security, and her current role includes responsibility for cyber security for News Corp.

Liberty’s Nair has more than a few responsibilities, but expanding the company’s cable and distribution network is high on that list, as is rolling out next generation set-top boxes.

Needless to say, tapping into the cloud for its longer-term DVR functionality under the Liberty 3.0 plan is also a priority.

HBO’s Tryneski is on the record as saying that wireless and mobility – and “untethering” – are high on the broadcaster’s agenda. As well as streaming services, HBO is also hugely focused on having augmented reality and virtual reality among some of its output.

Rethinking VR/360 IBC Conference Virtual Reality (VR) is certainly a ‘hot topic’ at IBC but associate Professor Matthew Lombard, from the department of Media Studies and Production at Temple University in Philadelphia, suggests that creatives and ‘broadcasters’ need to be fully aware of what he describes as ‘presence’.

At IBC, Prof Lombard will take part in the headline session ‘Using the Psychology of Presence to Engage Users of Media Technologies’ (Friday, Emerald Room, 10:15-11:15), chaired by Dr Nick Lodge, IBC’s executive producer for technology.

Lodge first met Prof Lombard 20 years ago when he had a research team producing 360-degree video. “Matthew is now arguably the world expert in VR psychology,” said Lodge.

“He is the joint founder of the International Society of Presence Research. I am sure his talk will generate huge interest at IBC and reawaken interest in the psychology of VR.”

Fascinating and informative Future Zone

By Chris Forrester IBC’s Future Zone in Hall 8 is always an important destination for visitors, combining cuttingedge thinking, fresh innovation and a dedicated space for both blue-sky developments and applications and devices for today’s broadcasters.

The Future Zone is also home to IBC’s free-to-attend Future Reality Theatre which looks beyond current technology, identifying stateof-the-art concepts and inventions and helping to map future applications and market sectors. Companies presenting in the Future Reality Theatre include NBCU, Mettle, Adobe, Live Planet, Nokia, V-Nova and Fraunhofer Berlin.

This year, the focus is on multi-sensory virtual worlds and imagery of the future.

Step into the Future Zone ‘time tunnel’ to experience mixed reality, 3D audio, mind-blowing video displays and holographic projections.

The Future Zone has plenty of well-established ‘must visit’ favourites too, including NHK and BBC Research & Development, but also new concepts such as Generic Robotics and the MOS2S (Media Orchestration – from Sensor to Screen) project which brings together leading industry players in the smart stadium/ city AV technology field.

The team is showcasing a data-integrated interactive video application, as well as a platform for crowd-based journalism, with a focus on enhancing player performance, enriching fan experience and enabling end-user participation and interaction.

Also appearing is France’s b-com innovation, highlighting four new high-tech initiatives: Virtual Arctic Expedition, a social, immersive VR smart content and six degrees-offreedom experience; 3D audio for VR; real-time SDR-HDR conversion, using an FPGAbased prototype platform; and next-generation video compression in a 5G context.

Racing ahead with IBC’s Sports Day Be aware of ‘presence’ when it comes to virtual reality

Prof Lombard teaches courses in media theory and research methodology, with emphases on content, experimental and survey analytic methods, and statistical analysis. His work is devoted to understanding why, if we stimulate the human senses appropriately with visual, auditory, olfactory, haptic (pressure), etc, we can suddenly switch to a feeling that we are present in an electronically mediated world.

“This is exactly what we do when we subject someone to 360-degree immersive media via a head-mounted display with 3D surround audio,” explained Lodge. “It is a very powerful sensation and explains the addictive nature of immersive media; you really feel that you are part of the imaged world and completely lose touch with

the real world. The electronic medium, whatever it might be, just disappears. The same experience applies whether you are experiencing computergenerated VR or 360-degree TV, now commonly and confusingly also known as VR. “The understanding of the psychology of VR is very important for many reasons,” he continued. “As engineers, we want to design the very best experiences and this can only be done if we know where to concentrate the design effort in terms of display resolution, spatial directional nature of the audio, realistic colorimetric, HDR, etc.”

With so much to discuss, this is going to be a must-attend session if you are interested in VR or 360-degree content.

IBC Conference

By Chris Forrester IBC always covers sports in its conference line-up but this year’s coverage is different in that most of the action takes place on the Sunday in the aptly named Forum where fans – sorry, engineers and executives – are encouraged to take their seats early to avoid disappointment.

Highlights of the day include a debate in which Ken Kerschbaumer, editorial director at Sports Video Group, and his team explore ‘Beyond Live – New Tech Pushing the Boundaries’ (10:30-11:15). The conversation will look at how the challenges facing sports events are managed by content creation teams who need to make sure they meet the needs of a wide range of viewers and fans.

The panel includes Dan Miodownik, chief content officer at Host Broadcast Services, David Shield, global director of engineering and technology at IMG Media, and Sotiris Salamouris, chief technology officer at Olympic Broadcasting Services.

IBC’s Sports Day continues with a panel (11:15-12:00) that looks at generating engagement with fans, moderated by Lewis Wiltshire, consulting partner at media consultancy Seven League.

Sports journalist and author Ross Biddiscombe moderates ‘Border Crossings’ (12:0013:00), looking at whether quick and entertaining cousins to traditional competitions – such as Twenty20 Cricket, and Rugby 7s – have captured the hearts of fans and the cash of sponsors.

Ki Pro Ultra Plus ready for the next stage OUTLINED

AJA Video Systems

Providing the glue in a 4K OB Lawo

By Carolyn Giardina

By Mark Hallinger Ki Pro Ultra Plus, AJA’s multi-channel recorder, will be showcased at IBC2017.

It offers 1, 2, 3 or 4-channel simultaneous HD recording up to 1080 50/60p, or in singlechannel mode, 4K/UltraHD/2K/ HD recording and playback, with full HDMI 2.0 input and output (up to 12-bit capture and output).

It captures 4K/UltraHD and HD video to standard production codecs including Apple ProRes and Avid DNxHD MXF. Housed in a portable 2RU half-rack, it also offers connectivity options from 3G-SDI to HDMI 2.0 and fibre.

HD channels can be displayed on the LCD screen as a quad-split during capture

New Super 35mm cinema camera to debut Panasonic

By David Fox The new AU-EVA1 is a compact 5.7K Super 35mm cinema camera that fills the gap in the Panasonic range between the Lumix GH5 4K DSLR and the VariCam LT 4K cinema camera.

“It is like the old AF-101, but on steroids with higher-end codecs,” commented Richard Payne, head of technology, Holdan, which is distributing the EVA1.

It has a native EF mount and the same dual ISO capabilities as the VariCam, using two signal paths – one with high gain and one with low gain.

“It means you can get higher ISO output with lower noise,” explained Payne. “It is very lightweight, just 1.2kg,” adding this factor should make it “fantastic on gimbals”.

The AU-EVA1 is ready for full broadcast 10-bit, 4:2:2 UHD. It will also do 4K, and offers the same colorimetry and V-log gamma as the VariCam. It has an infrared filter which can be switched in and out, enabling IR recording at night. There will be a choice of long GoP or Intraframe MPEG-4 codecs, with up to 240fps recording in HD and up to 60fps in 4K, to dual SD card

Boost for Media Services Live Akamai Technologies

By Ian McMurray The next generation of the Media Services Live system will be on show on the Akamai Technologies stand at IBC. The system delivers 24/7 live/linear online video capabilities, and is designed to support OTT video service providers, broadcasters and telcos that are operating or launching full-time television channels online.

Media Services Live includes four new components, together known as liveOrigin, that operate in concert to support the same level of quality for linear video streaming that is expected of traditional broadcast television.

Broadcast-quality ingestion uses Akamai’s mapping technology to match encoders to the optimal entry point, creating a system that can automatically route content to different entry points with no viewer impact if the connection is interrupted.

Producing live sport in everincreasing resolutions will be a hot topic at IBC2017, and a recent purchase by Italian broadcasting company NVP reflects this.

Lawo supplied audio, video processing and control solutions for NVP’s triple expanding truck, enabling the OB to accommodate multiformat productions in SD, HD, UHD, SDR and HDR. The heart of OB 4’s audio systems is a pair of Lawo mc256 production consoles, a Nova router and DALLIS interfaces. The complete OB van is controlled using Lawo’s VSM (Virtual Studio

Manager) system, and Lawo’s V__pro8 8-channel video processing units are deployed, offering all glue features needed in the broadcast production workflow in a 1RU housing.

Together, the audio consoles and VSM support multiformat operation on productions spanning Italy’s Serie A football matches (produced in 4K), concerts and musical events, and high-profile conferences.

OB 4 works with Grass Valley cameras (20 4K LDX86N and eight LDX82 WorldCam, all with HDR functionality) that can be operated simultaneously, Dolby E, 12 replay stations, and six producer positions.

slots. Payne expects it to offer 5.7K Raw output to Atomos and other external recorders.

It comes with a grip, top handle and an LCD touchscreen, but no electronic viewfinder (an optional extra). It should cost less than €8,000 and will ship after IBC. 11.C45

liveOrigin offers ten-second latency, addressing the need for online and broadcast content to play back for viewers nearsimultaneously. Akamai says this can dramatically reduce what has traditionally been a 30-second-ormore delay between broadcast signals and online streams.

Akamai has incorporated multiple layers of redundancy into Media Services Live, in which content is replicated to multiple locations across the network. The design allows for immediate failover if performance is in any way degraded.

Ultra line-up on show Omnitek

By Heather McLean The new Ultra TQ, a fully equipped waveform rasteriser for the broadcast market that builds on the Ultra platform, will be highlighted at IBC. The Ultra TQ inherits functionality from the Ultra 4K Tool Box and Ultra XR products to provide a comprehensive set of tools to support broadcasters with the challenges posed by HDR and WCG production, according to Omnitek.

At IBC, Ultra TQ will be shown supporting analysis of video over SDI or IP links as a SMPTE 2110/SMPTE 2022-6 enabled waveform rasteriser for broadcast applications.

The Ultra XR tool

set for HD, 4K/UHD, SDR and HDR content monitoring, colour grading and programme QC will also be showcased. Ultra XR’s picture monitor, true 4K waveform monitor, vectorscope, BT.709/BT.2020 CIE gamut charts, video timing, audio meters and video/audio status instruments allow SD to 4K analysis as standard.

Omnitek’s Ultra 4K Tool Box offers support for 12-bit 4:4:4 SDI input formats in YCbCr, RGB, and XYZ, Wide Colour Gamut RGB and HDR inputs.

It now supports the analysis and generation of over 1,700 video formats.

Ignore immersive technology at your peril OUTLINED

IBC Conference

By Chris Forrester IBC constantly strives to separate fact from fiction in technology, but there are some topics that cannot be ignored. A series of panels at IBC, with some truly compelling expert speakers, will attempt to use plain language to bring delegates a complete briefing on these ‘Next Frontier’ influences.

For example, there’s ‘Leaving the Hype Behind’ (Sunday, E102, 09:30-10:50) where Muki Kulhan, managing director of Muki-International, chairs industry visionaries including Edward Tang, chief technology officer and founder of Avegant, Leen Segers, a co-founder and chief executive at LucidWeb, and Tony Mugavero, chief executive of LittlStar. The panel will examine the impact that AR is likely to have in the future in light of predictions by Digi-Capital that it will be a $90bn market by 2020.

Kulhan admits that there is a healthy dose of skepticism around and many companies are still waiting to invest. She promises a “pragmatic” discussion on how long it might take for VR, AR and related technologies to reach their potential.

Another session, as part of IBC’s Big Screen (Saturday, Auditorium, 11:00-12:30), and produced by Julian Pinn, will focus on ‘Future Camera and Presentation Technologies’ and in particular the applications leading to AR/VR, Immersive Media and Holography.

The two VIP guests are perfect for the debate. Delegates will hear from legendary cinematographer, visual effects supervisor and author David Stump ASC and the light-field visionary, production executive, and motion-picture technology innovator Jon Karafin.

The duo will discuss the very latest developments in technologies that are destined to change how we capture and view images.

Another session looking closely at immersive technologies can be found within the Content & Production strand, with a fascinating case study on ‘Lost in Time – TV and Mixed Reality’ (Thursday, E102, 12:30-13:00), an entertainment format using Interactive Mixed Reality (IMR) on both TV and mobile devices.

The Norwegian format pushes the boundaries of television as we know it by incorporating realtime special effects pioneered in The Matrix to bring a feature film experience to the TV. The Startup Forum also features artificial intelligence, VR and AR (Sunday, G102-3, 16:0017:45) with AdLaunch chief executive Joel Hypen, The VR Fund co-founder Marco DeMiroz and VR Base co-founder Sara Vogl looking at the impact these technologies are making. The trio will also reveal how they are responding to changes in the way that we experience and share media.

IBC’s one-stop destination for everything IP IP Showcase

By Chris Forrester Bring together more than 50 vendors, plus dozens of real-time demonstrations and advice and you have the ingredients for a very successful segment at IBC. The 2017 IP Showcase (Room E.106) builds on the highly successful IP Interoperability Zone – a world-first at IBC 2016 – with more companies demonstrating their real-time IP products, and highlighting the great strides being made in formalising and universally adopting the SMPTE ST 2110 suite of standards.

The partners behind the IP Showcase – AES, AIMS, AMWA, EBU, IABM, IBC, MNA, SMPTE, and VSF – have come together to deliver a one-stop destination where everyone from broadcast/IT engineers and chief executives to TV

producers can learn everything they need to know to unlock the full potential of using IP for real-time media.

The vendors will work together to demonstrate real-world IP interoperability based on SMPTE ST 2110 final draft standards and AMWA NMOS specifications — a single set of common IP interoperability standards and specifications that are unleashing the flexibility and efficiency of IP in real-time media. To prove ease of use as well as interoperability, the demonstrations are divided into logical application pods: live production signal flows, contribution and playout signal flows, etc. All are shown under the control of familiar user interfaces.

The integrated IP Showcase theatre, curated by IABM, will be running a non-stop series of presentations covering the full gamut of knowledge for real-

time IP production and intrafacility distribution, catering for those considering IP for the first time through to those who have already embraced it.

Visitors will hear about the rapidly increasing number of real-world IP deployments from broadcasters and media providers who have already adopted IP signal flows.

They will also learn about the business and creative benefits of IP, and how these advantages can be applied to their own operations.

“The IP Interoperability Zone at IBC2016 showed the way forward to the wider industry,” said IBC chief executive Mike Crimp. “Since then, thanks to the dedication of an inspired group of organisations and companies, the complexities of IP have been demystified, and a roadmap to the IP future has been clearly laid out; the IP Showcase at IBC will mark a real turning point.”

Building brands and audiences

The Sony Media Backbone Hive cloud-based production system

Sony

By Monica Heck Visitors from newsgathering to sports production and high-end cinematography who are seeking new ways to engage audiences with high-quality content will see demonstrations from across the workflow, including the Sony range of camcorders, with updates and new announcements to follow.

Sony said it will be offering a range at IBC that takes media companies from acquisition, delivering through the workflow for consumers, right through to preservation.

Those interested in cloudnative media operations

will see how Sony supports customers in the management of their migration from a SDI/ hardware based infrastructure to an IP world, and in the building of applications and production platforms that reside completely in the cloud.

The Media Backbone Hive cloud-based production system is one of the solutions that will be on display, streamlining media operations so content can easily be delivered in multiple formats across multiple platforms.

The spotlight will also be on XDCAM Air, a cloud-based workflow service that provides a flexible bridge between fieldbased camcorders and the studio infrastructure.

Multimodal approach adds personal touch to controls Ruwido

By Ian McMurray At IBC, Ruwido will be unveiling how its interaction mechanism technologies, such as Tictactile, can be applied to business cases outside of the living room. The company will also demonstrate how its latest developments of multimodal input devices can make watching TV a more personal experience.

Tictactile enables users to navigate the GUI on their TV in the same intuitive way as they interact with their smart devices, while offering a tactile experience. Ruwido claimed that adding the structure of the user interface to the navigation field of the remote control makes

moving through content appeal to both the visual and tactile senses and creates a seamless experience for the user.

Ferdinand Maier, CEO, Ruwido, said: “IBC is not only an opportunity to showcase our award-winning product architectures to the industry but also to underpin our designs and innovations by presenting the findings of our scientific research at the conference.”

Driving the IP story

theibcdaily LQ Series harnesses IP for comms OUTLINED

Clear-Com IP Showcase A year ago, IBC led the electronic media world by staging the IP Interoperability Zone. This first-of-a-kind venture brought together tens of vendors to demonstrate how their products could work together in a real-world, live production environment.

Central to this remarkable co-operation was the live production studio, led by the EBU and VRT Sandbox from Belgium.

It was in constant use each day and contributed significantly to the live IBC TV output.

The momentum created at last year’s IBC has driven forward the establishment of agreed and open standards for real-time IP connectivity.

Several of the SMPTE ST 2110 standards documents are nearing completion, and publication via the SMPTE digital library is tentatively slated for later this year.

That is why this year’s IBC is moving the story on, from technical tour de force to

practical solutions that can be implemented today. There will still be a dedicated zone in the exhibition, but this time it is called the IP Showcase, a venue where more than 40 companies can show the potential of collaboration without any competitive pressures.

The showcase demonstrations will be laid out in four separate areas featuring application areas such as live production and playout contribution, and a new technology area highlighting progress towards a new open specification for connection management, AMWA IS-05.

Inside the zone will be a theatre, with a rolling programme of presentations from users and vendors. The programme is designed to allow the maximum sharing of knowledge alongside agenda-setting presentations on the creative and business challenges and benefits.

You will find the IP Showcase in E.106. It is free to all visitors and open throughout the exhibition hours of IBC2017.

By Heather McLean The latest updates to the LQ Series of IP interfaces will be presented at IBC2017. The enhanced LQ Series adds SIP capability for telephony, connects traditional intercom systems with Agent-IC mobile applications and increases I/O channel density for HelixNet digital partyline.

With LQ Interfaces, a complete solution of analogue, digital and IP intercom systems is fully integrated and connected over reliable IP networks, for communication from virtually anywhere, claimed Clear-Com. LQ interfaces can link any two-wire partyline and/or fourwire digital solutions over IP

The enhanced LQ Series easily expands intercom systems

networks. With the updated LQ devices that now host Clear-Com’s Agent-IC, core intercom users on traditional intercom systems can communicate in full-duplex with Intercom Mobile App users on smart devices. All setups and configurations are managed within the browserbased Core Configuration Manager (CCM).

The HelixNet digital networked partyline system receives a six-fold increase in I/O ports with the updated LQ interfaces. LQ will provide up to 24 audio ports assigned

to any of the 12/24 intercom channels in HelixNet. These additional ports supplement the HelixNet ports for interfacing with 2-wire and/ or 4-wire intercom or audio devices, effectively creating a much higher density digital partyline intercom system.

Signals from any remote devices are routed over IP to the assigned HelixNet end point(s). HelixNet is also now able to directly connect into the Eclipse HX digital matrix intercom network with the LQ device.

Addressing streaming hurdles Vitec

Aces high: HEVC hardware will be at IBC

By Carolyn Giardina

Flyaway system is go Suitcase TV

By Will Strauss A portable version of the software-based Iphrame remote production system is set to be shown at IBC. Iphrame Flyaway connects SDI cameras and feeds, and audio sources, to a broadcast centre using a standard IP link, and then allows frame accurate switching of those signals to take place in the cloud.

Suitcase TV technical director David Atkins said: “In addition to the rapid deployment and easy set-up, the other ‘no brainer’ benefits of the Iphrame platform include the ability to switch proxy versions of sources via the cloud in real time.”

Iphrame can also be used as an add-on service for host broadcasters who Remotely interesting: Iphrame handles video, audio and graphics on standard IT hardware

29 IBC 2017 Preview v1JRDLJMcK.indd 1

want to offer remote stream selection to rights holders that don’t have on-site staff.

Iphrame handles video, audio and graphics on standard IT hardware or virtual machines, and includes Suitcase’s proprietary TimeLock functionality. The latter uses PTP reference clocks to ensure that all sources and processes are accurately timestamped on site.

The flyaway version is packaged in a rigid, waterproof case that can be carried in the boot of a car, or onto a plane.

2.C10

The Vitec lineup for IBC includes a new HEVC codec, a 4K HEVC encoder, a media management system and the EZ TV broadcast-grade IPTV and digital signage platform.

The MGW Ace encoder and decoder is a portable, hardwarebased system that uses Vitec’s proprietary second-generation HEVC codec (GEN2). In addition, the MGW Ace encoder provides H.264 encoding capabilities to support legacy applications.

With a selection of I/Os and low power consumption using

Vitec’s HEVC compression chip, it’s recommended for streaming video, audio and KLV metadata while in the field or on the move.

For point-to-point applications, it can be paired with the MGW Ace decoder.

Vitec will also demonstrate its 4K HEVC encoding/decoding system, MGW Vision, which delivers a UHD IPTV contribution system for markets including broadcast, in-house IPTV and enterprise – anywhere UHD is critical.

VOD and OTT integration on stream Zenterio

By Ian McMurray Set to showcase its technology portfolio for TV operators at IBC is Zenterio. Zenterio’s pay-TV platform is designed to enable the integration of VOD and OTT services into the pay-TV user experience, either via the set-top box or any second screen device.

The platform covers the full TV

client lifecycle with products customisable to fit with the operator’s business requirements.

The portfolio includes what Zenterio describes as an advanced multiscreen TV client, designed to encourage subscribers to consume content wherever they are, and on any device. It also features a complete STB middleware that combines DVB and IPTV

Vitec’s EZ TV allows an organisation to centrally manage IPTV and signage content from a single interface, and automate video streaming workflows and signage campaigns over existing IP infrastructures.

Virtualised live playout from the cloud Pixel Power

By Carolyn Giardina Celebrating its 30th anniversary, Pixel Power is planning to show fully virtualised and cloud playout systems at IBC, as well as demonstrating its range of graphics, production automation and channel playout equipment.

“From the very beginning, what set our products apart was the power, the resilience, innovation and the productivity of our software,” said CEO James Gilbert. “Of course, in the early days we had to build our own hardware platforms to support the software, but today COTS computing has

caught up with us, so we are in a uniquely strong position to take our proven products and develop them as microservices, inherently virtualised and cloud-native.”

Two technology platforms, StreamMaster Media Process and Gallium Workflow Orchestration, are the foundation of the company’s modular playout and automated production products. Specific functionality is built on top of these platforms by bringing in the micro-services required.

This architecture allows identical software systems to be built in a machine room on premises, as virtualised functionality in a data centre, or in the public cloud.

Affordable E-mount cine lenses Fujifilm Europe

By David Fox The new MK series of cinema lenses boast ‘advanced optical performance, ultra-compact and lightweight design, and excellent cost performance’, according to Fujifilm Europe.

The first lens, released in the spring, is the Fujinon MK18-55mm, which has recently been joined by the MK50-135mm. Both nine-blade lenses are compatible with E-mount cameras with Super 35mm/APS-C sensors and the X Mount used in Fujifilm’s X Series of digital cameras (APS-C sensor). The lenses have a maximum aperture of T2.9 (f2.75) across the entire zoom range, enabling users ‘to shoot with a shallow depth of field with beautiful bokeh’, according to the company.

The MK series is primarily aimed at budget users who might otherwise use lenses designed for stills photography,

DAX Production Cloud showcased Prime Focus Technologies

By Carolyn Giardina

The Fujinon MK50-135mm joins the MK18-55mm in targeting Sony E-mount users

which are prone to problems such as focus shift and optical axis shift while zooming. The two lenses are claimed to resolve these issues.

They offer three rings for manual and independent adjustment of focus, zoom and iris (aperture), with the focus ring able to rotate up to 200º for precise one-handed focusing. They also share a common front element

diameter (85mm), filter thread (82mm) and three-ring gear positions, allowing use of the same accessories such as matte box and filters. They weigh 980g each, and are designed to match the colour temperature of Fujinon’s HK Premier, ZK Cabrio and XK Cabrio lenses. The X Mount versions are due by the end of this year.

12.B20

Prime Focus Technologies will show its new DAX Production Cloud software at IBC. Based on the company’s patented DAX with Digital Dailies, and part of its flagship product Clear Media ERP, DAX Production Cloud centralises assets into a single repository that can be accessed by authorised users throughout the content lifecycle.

It’s also designed to allow the use of the same system for both dailies and post production, meaning editorial, creative

agencies, visual effects and localisation vendors could work on the same software.

With high-res content on the system, users have access to other Clear modules, such as Promo Operations which allows business process orchestration for promo creation, including automation of promo versioning using Adobe Premiere Pro CC. PRT said the promo operations module is aimed at “solving the media logistics challenge and automating workflows to manage vendors involved in the process of ‘versioning’ promos from studios to broadcasters to digital organisations”.

theibcdaily ST 2110: Making broadcasting more flexible, efficient and creative OUTLINED

Joel Welch, director of education, SMPTE, previews a vital IBC conference session on the ST 2110 standards suite and managing media over IP networks At IBC2017, the Society of Motion Picture & Television Engineers (SMPTE) will present a conference session [Monday, 18 September 14:00-17:00, Forum] on the new SMPTE ST 2110 suite of standards.

ST 2100 allows for separate routing of video, audio and ANC data flows over professional IP networks in real-time to support broadcast production and playout applications.

This new family of standards represents a significant shift in how media is handled, processed and transmitted.

It has the potential to enable a more flexible, more efficient and more creative broadcasting industry.

Discussing ST 2110 will be: Thomas Edwards, SMPTE fellow and vice president of engineering and development, Fox; Matthew

Goldman, SMPTE president and senior vice president of technology, Ericsson; Howard Lukk, SMPTE director of standards and engineering; John Mailhot, systems architect for IP convergence, Imagine Communications; and Willem Vermost, network IP media technology architect, European Broadcasting Union.

The speakers will provide an overview of the ST 2110 standards suite and describe how the tools within it can be used in an infrastructure of networked specifications to achieve agile and flexible solutions for professional media live production.

Building on the work of Video Services Forum (VSF) Technical Recommendations 03 and 04 (TR03 and TR04), and of Audio Engineering Society’s AES67 standard, the ST 2110 suite

documents a system for internetworking various essence streams and capturing the timing relationships between those streams.

During the session, presenters will outline the different standards within ST 2100: ST 2110-10 on system timing and sync; ST 2110-20 on the handling of uncompressed video; ST 2110-30 on PCM audio; ST 2110-31 on AES Transparent Transport; ST 2110-40 on ancillary data; and ST 2110-50 on integration with ST 2022-6, which governs the transport of high bit rate media signals over IP networks.

Presenters will highlight how the standards can be used.

This includes the ability to route video, audio and ancillary data separately over IP and the use of ST 2059 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) to ensure

that different streams are synchronised. Other benefits include savings on bandwidth that come with no longer sending blanking data and the break-away routing of audio and ancillary data.

The flexibility, efficiency and cost savings enabled by 2110 will be tremendous. Following the main presentation, presenters will provide delegates with the opportunity to ask questions about how the new standards suite can benefit their operations.

Several of the ST 2110 standards documents are nearing completion, and publication via SMPTE digital library is tentatively slated for later this year. The SMPTE session at IBC2017 will assist delegates in having detailed, upto-date information about how the standards suite works.
