Harris and S4M collaborate
The Nexio Studio Suite from Harris uses the ClipJockey software application from S4M to create a VTR-like user interface for the production server. Designed for live multi-camera studio shoots, it adds to the familiar record and replay
functionality the operational benefits of multichannel, nonlinear video servers. As well as providing instant record and playback, the Nexio Studio Suite also allows other users direct access to server content. Harris Velocity ESX or Apple Final Cut Pro edit seats can work with content on connected servers for rapid turnaround of highlights packages. 7.G20
held in the Cloud Front Porch Digital is highlighting LYNXdr and LYNXlocal, two new
Lynx services are
technologies that leverage the company’s LYNX cloud-based storage management system. LYNXdr is a hosted disaster recovery service that allows global media enterprises to centralise assets and consolidate operations. The LYNXdr service ingests file- based video content via networking and data tape shipment. For over a year each DIVArchive system installed has been cloud ready and has the capability to network to LYNXdr, and also has the option of a hosted implementation of Front Porch’s media asset management system DIVAdirector V.5 to view systemwide content. LYNXlocal is an extension to LYNX that operates locally as an appliance, caching cloud content and providing local onsite integration to specialist systems if needed. LYNXlocal is billed as a service element at a low monthly rate. 7.C16
Today the programme of free presentations in the Workflow Solutions Village
concentrates on case studies. The four sessions each look at a practical application of an emerging technology, with speakers from a user as well as from the supplier. At 11:00 IBC and Canal+ talk about building a system architecture to support multiple distribution platforms. As new ways of consuming content drive new business models, the fundamental architecture needs to be flexible to respond to change. The cloud is still regarded by many as a potential for the future, yet for some companies it is a long-proven opportunity. Forbidden Technologies has been delivering cloud-based editing for several years, and at 14:00 Jai Cave of Envy Post Production describes
how he delivered a television series shot in the wilds of Alaska and posted in London. Live sport is always a challenge to create, and with additional delivery platforms the challenges rise exponentially. At 15:30 Cinegy and Sports Editing Sweden talk about how they ensure Scandinavian sports fans get their fix of hockey on whichever device is convenient at the time. The programme of
presentations ends today at 17:00 with a session on scheduling and channel management, featuring Provys and leading UK playout specialist Arqiva. You can find out more about today’s sessions, and those for the rest of IBC, online at

11 and the IBC Connected World in Hall 14, all its attractions, including the sessions in the presentation theatre, are free to all visitors.
OTT: Can it help slow subscriber decline? By Chris Forrester
It is said that this is the age of Over-The-Top programming. Whether from the likes of YouTube, NetFlix, LoveFilm, Hulu or the UK’s new YouView ‘catch-up’ service, the argument is made that the supply of OTT linear content could kill conventional broadcasting. For some time now the US story has been that OTT material supplied over broadband makes ‘cord cutting’ from pay-TV services a very easy step for subscribers to take.
The upside of OTT is that some heavyweight broadcasters (like BSkyB and Scandinavia’s Modern Times Group) are actively tapping into OTT to not only retain existing
subscribers but to hopefully bring a few more enthusiasts into their systems. Hans- Holger Albrecht, Modern Times’ CEO, told investors in July that his DTH Viasat pay- TV audience was declining, and would continue to decline, while at the same time he had seen an increase in demand for MTG’s Viaplay OTT service. This session, moderated and produced by
PricewaterhouseCoopers’ Vincent Teulade, has three expert panelists each able to throw some light on how they see the future. Lisa Coelho is CEO of GlobeCast Americas. François Moreau de Saint- Martin is CEO at security specialists Viaacess-Orca, while Frederic Garnier is GM at KIT Digital.
Teulade says that while OTT video delivery could be a threat to some, it could also be an opportunity for manufacturers of traditional production equipment, broadcast delivery infrastructure and broadcasters.
He says the panel will examine whether the OTT equipment and solution market is as attractive as the traditional equipment market? Teulade will ask what sort of
role traditional vendors play in the OTT market? He says his panel will question what characterises the new type of vendor and technology supplier that OTT platforms have been relying on? “But on the flip-side, our panel critiques the opportunities in the OTT market and considers

whether vendors’ traditional strengths do in fact lie in broadcast engineering.” 11:30-13:00, Rm E102
