theibcdaily Dongles and bandwidth at the IBC Content Everywhere Hub
There is another packed programme for delegates at the IBC Content Everywhere Hub in Hall 14 today. As usual, at the heart of the programme are two independent panel discussions. At 13:00 there is a look at the impact of HDMI dongles like Google Chromecast, Amazon Fire TV and Roku and their alternative delivery schemes. How can broadcasters take advantage of this new breed of device, and how can they monetise their programming? Find out today.
Then at 15:30 the spotlight
turns to the ITU 2015 World Radiocommunications
Conference and the likelihood that it will lead to broadcasters relinquishing spectrum in favour of mobile data delivery. What impact does this have on broadcasters? Is there even a future for terrestrial television? Come along and join in with this crucial debate.
These two sessions – and all the manufacturer presentations on stage today at the IBC Content Everywhere Hub Theatre – are free to all IBC attendees, not just those registered for IBC Content Everywhere. For more information please visit

SCTE and The Connected Home
Conference Today
Each year at IBC, the Benelux group of the Society of Cable Television Engineers holds its annual lecture. This year it’s Monday afternoon at 14:00. This session is free to all visitors, you need neither an IBC Conference Pass nor SCTE membership. This year’s topic looks at ‘In home architecture issues’. Consumers now expect a broad range of services in the home, many accessed simultaneously. The SCTE workshop at IBC looks at the technologies underlying the delivery.
The afternoon is split into
four sessions, with the first discussing the challenges for service providers in delivering the high speed internet options that consumers expect. From there the panel moves on to the connected home, the new applications becoming available and the opportunities this provides for
business.
The session looks first at home networking. Quality of experience is a difficult subject to quantify, so how do we balance usability, availability and proactive service management? Finally, the talk is of the
cloud. What is the path from traditional consumer premises equipment to virtualisation and a cloud-based home network? What are the implications for network monitoring?
The SCTE has brought together a powerful international panel, under the chairmanship of Edo Kweldam, director of CAI Harderwijk. The debate is sure to be lively, so if you are involved in content to the home, this is a session not to be missed. It starts at 14:00 in room
E102, and is free to all IBC attendees. To view the full conference programme visit

IBC’s Big Screen big star By Chris Forrester
IBC Keynotes do not come more celebrated than Douglas Trumbull (pictured), a legend in the industry who will present his latest cinematic vision of the future and latest work, UFOTOG. Trumbell has again cranked up the stakes by ‘filming’ in 120 fps, calling for full brightness laser 3D and, of course, Dolby Atmos for its immersive sound. Trumbull is the Academy
Award winner and five-time nominee, whose visual effects credits include 2001: A Space Odyssey
the Third Kind, Star T
Motion Picture, and Blade Runner
director (‘Silent Running’, ‘Brainstorm’, ‘Back to the Future - The Ride’) and is adept at integrating directorial and storytelling aspects to immersive cinema language. Forever pushing the
technical boundaries of artistic immersion, he developed the Showscan process for 60 fps 70 mm cinematography which delivered imagery onto the cinema screen that was said to
, Close Encounters of rek: The
.He is also a writer and
be indistinguishable from reality. Now firmly in the digital era, Trumbull’s current vision is manifested in his new process, MAGI, which explores a new cinematic language that invites the audience to experience a powerful sense of immersion and impact that is simply not possible using conventional 24 fps or 2D cinema
technology. This is a
must-attend keynote for
09.30-11.00 IBC Big Screen
Today
those needing to keep an eye and ear on the next generation quality of electronic entertainment — both big screen and small. We will hear from Trumbull’s five decades of pioneering work in disrupting the status quo of the film industry; how advances in technology unlock new artistry; and how commercial realities can be navigated as we consider the future of the medium. We will also be making full
use of the IBC Big Screen’s full
brightness 6-primary
laser projection
system from Christie Digital and 40+ speaker QSC sound system featuring Dolby Atmos by showcasing in 120 fps 14 fL Dolby 3D, Trumbull’s short sci-fi adventure, UFOTOG, which is a fully dramatic story that explores this new medium as a creative palette.
