Webinar: Mobile World Congress 2018 Review

Posted on 5th March 2018 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

Meeting: Are Existing Broadcast Formats Suitable for HDR WCG Content?

Posted on 20th November 2017 by Russell Trafford-Jones

Date: Thursday November 30, 2017 – Ample Refreshments from 18:15 GMT for 19:00 start.
Location: Ericsson Television, Strategic Park, Comines Way, Hedge End, Southampton, SO30 4DA. Google Maps

With higher resolution, wider colour gamut and extended dynamic range, the new Ultra High Definition TV (UHD) standards define a container which allows content creators to offer the consumer a much more immersive visual experience. However there are some artefacts noted within the container particularly around HDR material. Olie Bauman outlines why YCrCb are used and the human vision systems response to changes in chroma/luminance and the correlation between R, G and B

As HDR and WCG expand the Colour Volumes he will show why these increased from SD (601) to HD (709) to UHD (2020) and show the difference between PQ (Display Referred) and HLG (Scene Referred) workflows

From this background he will show examples of artefacts due to chroma down-sampling and show the different characteristics – depending on work flow.

He highlights that the problems will become greater as more content exploiting the full UHD container becomes available, requiring additional care and processing in content production and delivery.

Webinar: Smarter Storage for 4K – @QuantumCorp

Posted on 14th November 2017 by Russell Trafford-Jones

Date: 14th November 2017, 10:00 ET, 15:00 GMT
Join Quantum’s Jason Matousek as he discusses the impacts of 4K and what you can do to better manage your data. Jason will answer questions about how video production teams should be planning for higher resolution workflows. There is a lot of information out there that’s confusing and flat-out contradictory. In 45 minutes, we hope to provide some clarity on common questions like do I need flash or can Ethernet support all my 4K needs?

Webinar: 12 GHz Coax, the New Frontier: Exploring 4K Coax Cable Technology

Posted on 23rd October 2017 by Russell Trafford-Jones

On-Demand Webinar

When will copper fail us? From the beginnings of electronic media, broadcast engineers have struggled with the bandwidth limitations of interconnecting cable. When 4K and other high data rate services first appeared, it seemed only fiber could handle the bandwidth. But we thought the same when SDI was introduced. Belden first introduced 4794R and now 4855R. Will these be the new 8281 and 9209? Have we reached the limit of electrons in cable, or are there new technologies that will extend the convenience of cable and connectors into the next generation of broadcast?

With each advance in interconnection, new methods for installation and use come with new limitations along with the improvements in bandwidth. This webinar covers interconnection in the 12 GHz world, and what is likely to be the technology for the next generation.

In this webinar, you will learn:
