IP SHOWCASE HIGHLIGHTS PROGRESS IN MOVE TO MEDIA OVER IP AIMS BY DAVID FOX
Only open standards, such as AES67, SMPTE ST2110 and IPMX, can provide the stability, scale, fl exibility and supply chain security that comes from multiple vendor implementations, according to organisations like AIMS (the Alliance for IP Media Solutions). It is holding an IP Showcase
throughout IBC to reveal the latest developments in open standards, how they are evolving to meet the needs of a changing world, and how show visitors can get involved. “So much has happened since we last met in person in Amsterdam,” said Andrew Starks, Marketing Work Group Chair at AIMS. He sees the IP Showcase at IBC2022 as “a fantastic opportunity for us to report the progress our organisations have made with IP standards, share

user stories and provide resources people can use as they make plans to transition to open- standards IP technology”. The IP Showcase is particularly focused on open standards that support scalable, fl exible, affordable and accessible IP media systems. It will also be looking at how requirements are changing as media operations move towards
ALWAYS-ON VOICE MAKES CONTENT CONTROL SEAMLESS AND INTUITIVE
Shay Kamin Braun, Director of Product Marketing at Synaptics Incorporated.
Remote controls have tended to be practical, utilitarian devices with a well-deserved reputation for being the hardest to find when needed most. It doesn’t have to be this way in an era when users are using voice to control devices at home, on the go, in the car, or at work. Enabled by always-on voice (AOV) capability, remote controls can instead become a powerful command center to search, select and control the content, execute commands with minimal latency, and enable voice biometrics for purchase authentication and parental control seamlessly and intuitively.
While AOV holds much promise, it is challenging to implement in battery-powered devices, particularly when operating in a noisy environment, for example, with a TV, music, or multiple people talking. Noise increases power consumption as more processing is required to prevent performance degradation. However, with appropriate design and implementation, AOV can be enabled in battery-powered devices with a lifetime of over a year on just two AAA batteries.
all-IP connectivity and content delivery to multiscreen platforms. It will include both technical presentations and demonstrations that provide useful guidance to those making this shift. Topics will include: the work happening within SMPTE, AES, EBU, VSF and AMWA; how the evolving SMPTE ST2110 standards and the AMWA
Accomplishing this requires innovation in several areas. For battery life and performance, an ultra-low-power wake-word detector is needed, ideally with a dedicated neural network (NN) processor. This must be matched with proven algorithms for noise suppression, beamforming, and voice activity detection.
To reduce latency, adding local commands is critical to eliminate the delays associated with cloud-based approaches. Local commands also improves reliability, ensuring devices will respond without being affected by connectivity issues: users can trust that their TV or music player will “Mute” upon command should a phone call come in.
The addition of voice biometrics enables functions such as voice authentication for content purchases, parental controls, and content profiles for each user. And finally, an AOV-based “Find my remote” feature can be readily added.
