Webinar: Mobile World Congress 2018 Review

Posted on by Russell Trafford-Jones

We didn’t all have the opportunity to go to Mobile World Congress and with BVE on at the same time, few can go to both and get the full picture.

Fortunately, the IBC365 editorial team will pick through the product launches, announcements and themes of Mobile World Congress to make sense of the show for us.

IBC365 Editor George Bevir will be joined by journalists and analysts from across the broadcast and telco markets who will dissect the main talking points of the exhibition and conference.

Among the topics for discussion are:

  • The role of content in telco operators’ strategies: Acquiring, packaging and distributing content
  • Competing with tech giants and SVOD players
  • Broadcasters’ increasing need for greater network access
  • 5G: Roll out, lessons from PyeongChang and the implications for broadcasters and content owners
  • Delivering content to mobile devices
  • UHD, HDR and HFR content
  • Immersive content: 360-video, VR, AR and MR
  • E-sports: the opportunity to connect with fans
  • Artificial intelligence and machine learning

Webinar: SMPTE Standards Update Webcast: Perceptual EOTF

Posted on by Russell Trafford-Jones


HDR support continues to improve, but the challenge of traditional infrastructure limitations and the desire for efficient packaging prevent utilization of large bit depths everywhere.
This SMPTE Educational Webcast explores how the Electro-Optical Transfer Function (EOTF) really defines an electronic imaging signal and what that means for the use of higher dynamic range content. In addition, the development of a signal definition based on the human visual system model promises to optimize its perceptual efficiency.
Scott Miller from Dolby puts the focus on the PA HDR technology developed by Dolby Labs with some comparisons to HLG.

Broadcasters are finally starting to take network and IT security seriously after successful attacks against Sony Pictures, TV5 Monde and others. This webinar gives a ‘state of play’ to understand the current landscape of internet attacks like DDOS and malware and how IoT fits in. There’s much to take away to our broadcast lives from hearing about the mounting challenges ahead for those involved in day-to-day security operations.
Arbor Networks’ 13th Annual Worldwide Infrastructure Security Report (WISR) offers a rare view into the most critical security challenges facing today’s network operators. This session will review the highlights from the report to help network operators understand the breadth of the threats that they face, gain insight into what their peers are doing to address these threats, and comprehend both new and continuing trends.
