gave them a unique chance to air their private views and hear those from scions of the broadcast, media and
telecommunications community. Among them were chief executives of Cisco, Sky Deutschland, HBO Europe and the Director General of the EBU, Ingrid Deltenre. “If we are to succeed with

DR takes delivery of 1080/50p OB vans
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 trucks use Snell Kahuna 360 vision mixers (4M/E in the 16-camera truck and 3M/E in the 8-camera truck). All monitors are HD2line Pro Class
One LCDs from Penta Studiotechnik, while infrastructure comes from Axon. EVS XT3 servers with LSM remote control panels and IPDirector content management software are used for ingest and live slow-motion. The audio rooms in each truck are equipped with Solid State Logic C100HD broadcast consoles. Because of a high demand for redundancy, Project Builders chose a Miranda Nvision video router.

that is good for all devices at once,” Jensen said. “Since there are not a lot of suitable off-the- shelf applications you are really challenged to find the right solution to adapt your content.” The Summit was underpinned by some specially commissioned research by Deloitte’s Technology, Media and Telecommunications (TMT) division.
“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.”
