Q&A
Jongil Kim president, Media Excel
Has IBC come at a good time
for the electronic media industry? Why? IBC has always been at the forefront of new technologies and trends, including HEVC and UHD TV. IBC historically sets the trendline for the coming year, in good and bad economic times. It’s a great time for the industry this year, meaning you will see deployed, commercially
adopted technologies, not just future technologies.
What do you think are the key developments in, or threats to, your market sector at the current time? At IBC, you will see HEVC featured in several trials and deployments across the globe, in actual real world applications, which is very exciting. MPEG- DASH and UHD TV further contribute to HEVC adoption and together

enable compiling workflows in both unicast/OTT and broadcast (eMBMS/LTE) mobile video delivery. You’ll also see hybrid video processing solutions that take advantage of ground, virtualised and cloud-based infrastructures that help align service demand with OPEX.
Why should delegates visit your stand at IBC? We think we can re-excite people about the state of the
video industry. Every IBC, people tend to say that the old news is old and the new news (such as 4K) is too futuristic. We believe we are in the sweet spot, where commercial adoption of advanced video technologies is happening. We have some very interesting field data about our 4K performance, and customer adoption stories about our HERO product line from around the world we’d love to share. 14.D27
Orad and MUV: interactive capabilities to any surface
Orad and MUV By Carolyn Giardina
Orad and MUV, a provider of interactive solutions that you wear, have combined their
expertise to provide an interactive device which is worn on a presenter’s finger and which turns any surface into an interactive screen. Ideal in a studio environment, the presenter can stand anywhere and rotate, scale, move, drag, tap, hold, draw or highlight graphics on any surface. The combined solution will be presented at Orad’s stand. MUV’s tracking technology can identify where the presenter is pointing to, standing, which surfaces are relevant, how much pressure is applied, etc. The data from the MUV device, called Bird, is then transmitted to Orad’s Interact system, which presents the corresponding graphics on the surface. For example, the presenter can drag any image on any wall in the studio or emphasise a particular object in the video wall. “This groundbreaking solution opens the door for broadcasters who want to turn any surface into an interactive surface. Moreover, by having the sensors on the presenter’s finger, he or she can stand anywhere in the studio as opposed to standing in front of the interactive screen itself,” commented Avi Sharir, CEO and president, Orad. 7.B27
