Webinar: Unlocking global success for channel operators and broadcasters

Posted on by Russell Trafford-Jones

Date: Tuesday 4th December, 2018. 16:00 GMT

Join IBC365 and Tata Communications to explore how organisations are using cloud playout to deploy a unified solution for both playout and distribution on a global basis, and why cloud is fast becoming the preferred option for many linear channel operators and broadcasters.

Cloud playout offers the potential for rapid channel launches, more efficient and resilient operations and a clear commercial model enabling linear channels to be more successful and profitable.

In this Webinar:

  • Explore cloud success stories, like Woohoo TV, Latin America’s first dedicated channel for sports, music and youth culture. It expanded rapidly into new markets in the U.S. without needing capital investment by deploying Tata Communications’ Cloud Master Control and Video Connect solutions.
  • Learn how Cloud Master Control delivers a future-ready virtualised IP environment powered by industry-leading technology vendors, enabling channel operators to scale rapidly from a single channel to a large-scale multi-channel operation, with complete flexibility and reliability.
  • Understand the business, technology and operational benefits and the crucial questions to ask before moving your channel playout operation to a cloud playout provider.

Video: The Promise of 5G

Posted on by Russell Trafford-Jones


The UK’s largest mobile network EE just announced its plan to launch 5G across 16 cities during 2019 and switching on the next-generation network in the busiest locations so it’s clear that 5G is arriving. That’s why it’s all the more important to put the promise of 5G into perspective with regards to broadcasting.

IBC 365 brings together Richard Mills from the Sky VR studios and Claire Harvey from Red Bee to discuss this with Mark Smith.

The discussion touches on the following:
• What are the real benefits
• What applications will drive the take-up of 5G?
• Will it help connectivity at a live event where bandwidth is currently constrained?
• How can broadcasters develop trust in 5G?
• Applying 5G to wildlife filming
• Network Revenue Sharing

Webinar: Why Telcos Need Content and Content Providers Need Telcos

Posted on by Russell Trafford-Jones


Date: Thursday 15th November 2018, 16:00 GMT / 11am ET

It’s a busy time in the content and connectivity business and in this webinar, IBC265 is bringing together Huawei, Rights Stuff and Ampere Analysis to map out the future of convergence. Hear:

  • Why high-quality video services are vital for telecom operators wanting to engage consumers and grow their revenues through “experience monetisation”
  • When is the right time for operators to license their own content or offer their own VOD platform
  • How becoming a super-aggregator of OTT services and TV channels can create a compelling offer without costing a cent in content rights
  • Why content providers, broadcasters and SVOD platform owners should partner with telcos to reach new audiences in new markets

The boundaries between broadcasters, pay TV platforms, OTT operators and telecoms providers are blurring.

Competitors are becoming partners as content owners recognise the role of telcos to deliver their services to a bigger audience and drive new revenues, while telecom operators are creating compelling consumer experiences built around video.

Convergence is now all about putting the consumer at the centre of a connected media and entertainment experience where the distinction between live broadcast and on-demand services disappears.
