Big Year Coming
Tis issue spans 2013 and 2014. Te year-end is a good time to look back, and look ahead. What’s the status of some of the trends we’ve covered this past year? Certainly OTT/delivery to multiple receivers continued to dominate the scene in 2013, and will only continue to grab headlines next year. 3D continued to recede in 2013, while UltraHD garnered tentative interest. In our next issue we’ll be running some short and long form commentary on what TV technology people should prepare for as we move forward. If you have an opinion----even just a few sentences----on what 2014 may have in store for us, shoot me a mail. We’d love to hear your opinion on using the cloud in broadcast applications, OTT, UltraHD, channel-in-a-box, implementing social media, or whatever trend you see coming. We’ll run a few of these in our Feb/March issue. Also, what might you like to see addressed in our pages next year? One big focus for TV Technology Europe and sister publication TV Technology Asia/Pacific will be sport. 2014 is another of those ‘years of sport,’ with Olympics and a World Cup and more at the fore. I will actually be attending the Sochi Games in February, reporting back on the technologies the host broadcaster and rightsholders are using to make the home viewing experience often better than seeing an event live. Please let me know if I can stop by your rooms in the IBC if you will be there and can spare a few minutes to let me tell your story. TV Technology is not alone in its sport focus for next year. Te organization that puts on the very good
Broadcast Asia show in Singapore every June just put out a release saying that the 2014 version of the event will have a strong emphasis on sport. Good idea. Mark Hallinger, Editor
