Location: Century Club, 61-63 Shaftesbury Ave, London, W1D 6LQ

The excellent BOXfest is back for its sixth year! On the theme of ‘Disruption’, this is a one day technology event in Central London. Following on from NAB, BOXfest highlights key technologies and products concentrating on customer case studies, sharing technology roadmaps and market trends. The audience is typically senior, technical management and engineers, with the day designed to allow time for people to network with their peers.

With the escalation of technologies including IP, AI and cloud alongside ever-changing business requirements how do you deliver future-proof solutions and innovation to your organisation?

Several technical authorities from a number of key vendors for product-agnostic presentations will provide insight into these topics:

IP – Where are we with IP?
AI – What is it and how does it affect me?
AI – Real world applications
Cloud – creating flexible infrastructure that works for media
IMF – What, why?
HDR – Real world experiences.

Transition to IP: Broadcast 101 Series

Broadcasters are increasingly considering IP as the next step in their workflows and operations, attracted by the potential of greater agility, flexibility and efficiency. As an industry we have finally built a consensus on a common IP standard and are forging ahead with the SMPTE ST 2110 suite of standards. However, there are more challenges to conquer when moving to an IP broadcast infrastructure.

Webinar: Broadcast IP 101 – Transport Formats Demystified


May 23rd, 08:00 and 16:00 BST
In the third in the series, Axon’s Jan Evaleens explains in detail IP transport systems such as SMPTE ST 2110, ST 2022-6, AES67 and others. He goes on to discus when they can best be used within existing systems but also in new IP only solutions.

This webinar takes place twice:
May 23rd 08:00 BST
May 23rd 16:00 BST

Webinar: Intro IP Video and PTP Timing Webinar


On-Demand Webinar: 21 Minutes

Starting with an overview of the different approaches to uncompressed video over IP, Paul Robinson, then CTO of Tektronix, explains how PTP works and how it is applied in practice. Finishing with a Q&A, these topics are all still relevant in a post SMPTE 2110 world. ST 2110 was built on some of the technologies discussed separately in this talk from 2016 and much can be gained from this understanding.
