12-17 September Exhibition
13-17 September In excess of 50,000 people are expected to visit IBC
MORE THAN 50,000 professionals from over 160 countries engaged in the content creation, management and delivery of electronic media and entertainment will convene at IBC 2013 in Amsterdam this month. As well as the usual extensive conference programme and showfloor product launches, this year’s event will see a number of firsts. New for 2013 is IBC
Workflow Connexions, an exclusive club that brings together professionals from
the workflow community all in one place, both online and onsite at IBC. Using NFC technology called ‘Touch & Connect’ the 1,000+ Workflow Connexions club members can exchange and collect data in a single touch in the IBC Workflow Solutions area and on stands around the RAI. Also launching this year, IBC
Workflow Solutions – located in Hall 9 – is dedicated to file- based technologies and provides attendees with the opportunity to track the creation management journey. Visitors to IBC Workflow
Solutions will find a presentation theatre housing case studies covering topics such as live sports, automated QC, and Cloud creation for brands and broadcasters as well as presentations from current users. The conference programme begins on Thursday 12 September and will cover themes including ‘The new language of Digital Spaces’ and ‘Understanding the power of big data’. Of particular interest is ‘The next wave of technology’ at 17:00, which looks at the lessons learned from the apparent failure of stereo 3D; the practicalities of Cloud production; the revenue- generating possibilities of metadata; and the costs of moves towards higher than HD resolution content. Other highlights across the
six-day programme include ‘The great quality debate: do we really need to go beyond HD?’ at 11:00 on 14 September; ‘How to launch a TV service in the Cloud’ at 13:15 on the 15th; and ‘Immersive audio – advancing sound through healthy competition or an unwanted standards war?’ at 13:30 on 16 September.
In addition, visitors to the
Yamaha kit is once again being used during many of the events and seminars 42 September 2013
Future Zone in Park Foyer, next to Hall 8, will have the opportunity to experience concepts and prototypes not yet commercially available. Exhibitors in this area include BBC R&D, whose researchers will be on hand to discuss a range of experimental projects currently being undertaken, and Cisco whose Project Fresco is looking at the
SHOWFLOOR HIGHLIGHTS coolux will present its new Pandoras Box Version 5.5 and the new Widget Designer Version 4.5 as well as presenting a powerful 3G QUAD Broadcast Server system for the first time. With Pandoras Box Version 5.5, users can access HTML pages and make them visible on graphic or video layers. It is also possible to make any layer react to mouse, touch and keyboard input. The newly integrated Web Server adds the ability to host web pages on any Pandoras Box Master system, and to remotely control any Pandoras Box system via HTML pages. It is also now possible to attach ‘warper markers’ to 3D objects. Once at least four points have been defined on a 3D projection surface, the
gesture-based actions. Additionally, touch data can be collected from a large number of input sources to make massive multi-device tracking scenarios even more precise. coolux CEO Jan Huewel comments: “Whether it is creating interactive applications, live 3D compositing and keying, or even advanced virtual studio camera tracking, Pandoras Box systems can play an important and cost-effective role. Every year IBC has become more interesting for us, and with a great number of successful customer showcases under our belt, it is almost needless to say that we are really looking forward to it this year as well.” DPA will be showing the new d:dicate 4017C shotgun microphone, a shorter version of the popular d:dicate 4017B shotgun mic. Thanks to the modularity of this new d:dicate range, DPA has been able to team the 4017
The eyevis stand will feature a world-first 70in WQXGA LED-lit rear-projection cube
corresponding 2D markers can be positioned, and the software will automatically generate the 3D projector position and orientation based on the physical lens settings. Turning to Widget Designer
Version 4.5, new features include TUIO input support, which enhances compatibility with third-party devices, software sensors and so on. Camera tracking, AirScan and/or TUIO inputs can be used to directly interact with any Pandoras Box display output. Gesture support has been
improved – Kinect, AirScan and other multitouch applications can work more easily with
shotgun capsule with its compact C preamp to create a microphone that is said to be ideal for boom recording in tight spaces and rooms where ceiling height is limited. Offering the same
functionality as the 4017B-R, which is the shotgun microphone in a Rycote Windshield, the 4017C-R offers the same solution, just with the 4017C and a smaller Rycote Windshield.
The d:dicate series has also
been expanded with another preamplifier solution, two modular active cables (MMP- ER with rear cable entry and MMP-ES with side cable entry), plus a number of modular
