The rise and rise of broadcasting
Brian Sullivan, CEO, Sky Deutschland will join the Thursday Keynote panel
Keynote Preview By Chris Forrester
It isn’t so long ago that IBC might well have been using this self-same session to talk about the demise of broadcasting, of the death on network television, of how linear transmission would go the way of the Dodo. Well, as Mark Twain rightly stated: “Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.” Nevertheless, IBC is right to label this session ‘The Next Chapter’, recognising that change is a key part of life
and that the broadcaster that doesn’t change might not be around too long! This session is proof that despite these challenges, and more recent threats such as Over-The-Top supply of content, audiences around the world will still tune into great TV. Networks have to work harder, production values cannot be ignored but audiences do exist for high- quality output.
In fact, session moderator Ray Snoddy says his session will strongly defend broadcasting’s position and influence over consumers. He
is helped by some very experienced names from the heart of the production community.
Snoddy is joined for The Next Chapter by Brian Sullivan, CEO at pay-TV operator Sky Deutschland, Mark Hollinger, Chief Executive of Discovery Network’s International, and John Tate BBC Director of Strategy. Kevin Mayer vice president for business development at Walt Disney completes the line-up. This session is held at 09:30-11:00 Thursday 6 Sept, in the Forum.

Dynamic graphics for rapid changes
Pebble Beach By Michael Burns
Pebble Beach System’s new 64-bit automation system, Marina, is being demonstrated in Hall 8, with its Dynamic Channel Brander being shown for the first time.
The company claimed that the configurable tool safeguards the integrity of channel information graphics for broadcasters who have to deal with late breaking changes. Immediately prior to the graphic going to air, the Dynamic Channel Brander tool has the ability to dynamically source data from multiple playlists at the same time, extracting the most up to date programme information. Configurable templates are then populated with accurate start times, titles, preview clips and images as required, so that last minute schedule changes can be displayed without the need to manually generate new graphics.
This new option works with the full range of graphics devices that are already supported in Marina, including Vizrt, Miranda, Chyron, Pixelpower, Orad and RT Software. Marina also offers comprehensive support for a range of EVS servers and architectures, full API control of Omneon servers using the new 64bit Omneon Player API, and web services API integration with Avid’s Interplay MAM. Visitors to the Hall 8 stand will also see Marina controlling Pebble Beach Systems’ channel in a box solution, Dolphin. This flexible integrated channel device supports a wide range of compression and file formats, with the ability to mix these formats on the same timeline. Pebble Beach Systems is also demonstrating how Dolphin’s pluggable architecture gives the end user access to a comprehensive range of third party graphics and subtitling options to meet the needs of different channel types. 8.B58
