Webinar: UHD & HDR

Posted on by Russell Trafford-Jones

Today at 14:00 GMT! 8th March
This Webinar covers Ultra-High Definition (UHD) Television and related technologies such as Higher Dynamic Range (HDR), Higher Frame Rates (HFR) and Next Generation Audio (NGA) in distribution.

What is the impact of Higher Frame Rates? What about Higher Dynamic Range? The German Institut für Rundfunktechnik (IRT) was involved in various subjective tests for HDR and HFR, and the IRT’s Dagmar Driesnack will cover those findings in her presentation.

Both features are also included in the latest DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting) receiver specification. Virginie Drugeon will present on DVB’s updated audio-visual coding specification, TS 101 154, which adds support for HDR, HFR and Next-Gen Audio.

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
