Henok Tafese, senior director of business development, Opticomm-EMCORE, spotlights six important industry trends that organisations should consider while tackling IBC2012
It’s remarkable to reflect on how differently organisations use video in 2012 versus just a few years ago. Video is everywhere. It’s the preferred method of news delivery, company announcements, training, and shared entertainment. While proliferation of high-
quality, affordable, easy-to-create video is a great thing, it also presents unique challenges. Of course, challenges come with opportunities to solve them. For these reasons, IBC 2012 is an important event for companies involved in the creation, management or delivery of digital content. Here are six trends that organisations and integrators should consider while tackling IBC 2012: Omnipresence of video— Humans crave visual stimulus, and technology is allowing video to break into our culture in meaningful ways; think of overseas troops and their families embracing Skype and doctors using telemedicine to expand care.
Why should integrators and organisations care? Video consumes large amounts of network bandwidth, space and storage. Since organisations aren’t going to turn back and de-emphasise video usage, integrators have an opportunity to provide solutions to their clients’ video traffic jams. Integration of social media — The power of social media is sometimes underestimated. Consider how often we witness videos shared globally that trigger local, simultaneous social movements around the world, in support of a particular cause.

were exclusive to deep- pocketed organisations. Now, they’re increasingly affordable. Why should integrators and clients care? Many companies are deploying video walls and are in need of content and content distribution solutions to feed them.

Why should integrators and organisations care? As people continue to transform the way they interact, organisations must embrace it. Video goes mobile— Handheld mobile technology has blurred the lines between business and personal time with smartphone users working during pockets of personal time. Why should integrators and clients care? The world is
getting used to interfacing with small, mobile platforms, so organisations need to ask themselves what they need to be doing to leverage that. Creative bar is raised — If
there’s a downside to the proliferation of video creation, it’s the proliferation of video displays. Video is everywhere, and it’s difficult for an organisation to insure that its
message won’t be lost. Why should integrators and clients care? The more creative the display, the better. Transparent displays, anything out of the ordinary – that’s where it’s at and solutions providers are challenged to deliver displays that will actually be seen.
Rise of the big display — It wasn’t long ago that video walls
Rise of the small display— Even as large displays gain popularity, there is another trend toward smaller video displays. Manufacturers are focused on creating solutions that allow people to use the displays that are already in their pockets. Why should integrators and clients care? Small displays don’t equal small tasks when it comes to the creation and distribution of content. End users have greater access to video displays, which means more opportunities for those who are in the content business. 2.A48
