Project Builders By David Fox


The Videohouse design and system integration division, Project Builders, has built two new outside broadcast vans for DR in Denmark. It has just delivered a spacious 16-camera truck, while the second eight-camera truck is on show today at IBC.

“The big question about Connected TV is does it change the way people watch TV and as a result change the underlying business model,” asked Paul Lee, global director, Research, Technology, Media and Telecommunications, Deloitte. “Time and time again in our conversations with CEOs it’s apparent that the one brief they need to have a good


understanding of is Connected TV. Our aim with the Leaders’ Summit is to provide just that solid understanding.”
