Webinar: Moving Beyond SDI In Live Production


Date: Thursday, June 7
Time: 11:00 am ET, 16:00 BST

Using IP networks for real-time video is a powerful enabler. However, it comes with challenges.

How can we guarantee that IP networks provide the same level of reliability, performance and low latency as SDI operations?

Join IP experts James Stellpflug, VP Product Marketing at EVS, and Christophe Messa, Product Manager IP Solutions at EVS, along with our special guest Sunil Gudurvalmiki, Senior Product Manager at Cisco, for a bleeding edge look at how facilities can fully empower an IP infrastructure that goes beyond point-to-point topologies while delivering the required level of speed, reliability and performance for live productions.

Webinar: HDR – Bright prospects ahead, but where are we now?


Time: 15:00 BST, Wednesday June 13th 2018

A review of current technology and real-world deployments

  • The WOW factor: Why HDR?
  • HDR standards: HLG, PQ or HDR10 variants?

Many different variants of HDR have also emerged in an attempt to offer higher quality coupled with some backwards compatibility with those early TVs, but broadcasters have been perhaps understandably reluctant to commit to producing 4K or HDR content with the costs of the ill-fated 3DTV still on their books.

This webinar looks at HDR in general and the different variants that have emerged. The drive for 4K, or even 8K, content and displays is contrasted with consumers’ willingness to watch full HD with HDR on the latest mobile phone displays…
