Combating Audiovisual Piracy: how far can we go?

Brazil has made great progress in combating audiovisual piracy. A large network of public-private cooperation was established to, from many fronts, prevent and repress this illicit activity. But it is a fact that some legal operations on the Brazilian internet (hosting servers, domain registrars, even some social networks or market places) have not yet assumed their responsibilities. Many criminal operations continue to contract services, using these legal platforms to operate their businesses. Something needs to change: in Brazil and in the world. State regulation of platforms that have proven to be inefficient in combating criminal operations appears to be increasingly urgent.

The Benefits of Hyperconvergence in Broadcast infrastructure

The use of computing platforms for broadcast-related applications, which began in the early 1990s, helped the market undergo several transformations in relation to content distribution.

In terms of connectivity, we can mention the new standards that have emerged for internal signal traffic to broadcasters, distributions and contributions. In this sense, we are talking about the advent of standards such as SDI (3G or 12G), ST-2022, ST-2110, SRT, NDI, control protocols such as NMOS, etc.

Video processing took an important leap forward by using CPUs, GPUs and FPGAs, associated with software layers.

A major change was also noticed in relation to the ways in which these systems were deployed, through the emergence of distributed computing, known as cloud, which now allows for much more flexible installations, which can be completely on-premises, completely cloud or hybrid, bringing together the best of both worlds.

The lecture aims to discuss how the use of the same computing platforms, which enabled us to make so many improvements in relation to the generation, contribution and distribution of content, can help the Broadcast market to simplify its internal infrastructure, through a concept called hyperconvergence. , where different equipment can converge on just one platform, in an end-to-end production chain, being able to manage the different I/O formats available today, in addition to having its functions defined on demand and by software.

From Digital to TV: How Influencers Are Transforming the Media Landscape

In recent years, digital influencers and content creators have been redefining the media landscape. With their careers built on platforms such as YouTube, TikTok and Instagram, these new digital protagonists have gained not only a large audience, but also credibility and authority in their niches. Such notoriety has led many of them to be absorbed by television, a traditional medium that is seeking to reinvent itself in the face of changes in the way audiences consume content.

This panel explores the transition of influencers from the digital world to TV, highlighting how their presence on social media has not only prepared them to reach new heights, but also how they have brought a new dynamic to television, with a language and approach that deeply resonates with contemporary audiences.

In addition, the reverse movement will be discussed, where TV producers and presenters have migrated to digital, without, however, abandoning television. On the contrary, many are returning to the television medium with new vigor, armed with the experience acquired on digital platforms, further expanding their reach and relevance.

The panel seeks to answer how this integration between digital and TV is shaping the future of media, creating new opportunities and challenges for both influencers and traditional content producers.

Connectivity and Infrastructure with TV 3.0 in mind

TV 3.0 is revolutionizing the broadcasting landscape, driven by technological innovations and new business models. The integration of a hyper-connected infrastructure, which combines local and cloud processing, provides greater flexibility and operational efficiency, supporting multiple content distribution platforms. Sharing transmission infrastructure is emerging as a strategic solution for cost reduction, while the implementation of centralized and distributed architectures in the TV 3.0 environment promises to optimize the regionalization of content, significantly reducing operational costs. These transformations are essential to guarantee the economic viability and security of broadcasters in the new era of broadcasting.

Hyperconnected Infrastructure

The evolution of technology and the new business models of media companies have geographically ‘atomized’ the activities of acquisition, production, and distribution. As a result, the technology architecture of broadcasters is moving towards a hybrid processing model: part on-premises and part in the cloud. Operating in a multicloud environment is already the new normal for many companies. Employees, whether permanent, contractors, or service providers, can access this infrastructure from the broadcaster’s premises, from home (remote work), or while on the move. Similarly, the content produced can be consumed across multiple platforms, both proprietary and third-party, accessible through various devices. Traditional commercial insertion services are being replaced by ‘programmatic’ platforms, composed of modules operated by different players. All this geographical distribution of people, companies, devices, processing, and storage increases the broadcasters’ ‘attack surface’ for hackers. The presentation will describe trends and real-world cases of connectivity and security solutions adopted in the implementation of hyperconnected infrastructures in broadcasting.

Centralized vs Distributed Architecture for Regional TV service in TV3.0 environment

The next-generation TV 3.0 technology is planned to rely on ATSC3.0 standard for the transport and physical layer of linear and non-linear TV services. To address the delivery of TV services with regional content, two types of architecture emerges: centralized architecture and distributed architecture. The deployment of TV3.0 in Brazil on a city-basis will include the support of regional content in a very wide country where satellite is the main distribution networks. Now satellite distribution is an important OPEX budget for broadcasters. The regionalization topic shall be handled carefully to avoid spending millions and millions of dollars in satellite distribution. The paper will present the current ATSC3.0 roll out and their operational architecture. It will present both centralized and regionalized type of architecture. An introduction of multiple PLP technologies in ATSC3.0 and its possible business models, the presentaton will unveil an innovative way of distribution regional content along with national content to reduce drastically OPEX costs for broadcasters so that TV3.0 can be economically viable.

The broadcast networks product line represented about 80% of the company turnover; When leading the product line, the company’s revenues grew over 400%. He holds a number of patents that deals with the optimization as well as the failsafe delivery of digital TV services.

Sharing transmission infrastructure as a solution to reduce operational costs

For some time, sharing of transmission infrastructure was discussed, and some TV networks partially adopted this model.
Today, with the increasing increase in costs and the need to allocate resources for TV 3.0 and other projects, it is mandatory that TV networks discuss the issue again, even for more important structures, such as the high power TV stations.
This presentation aims to demonstrate the advantages of joint operation of transmission infrastructure, including towers, shelters, buildings, energy and redundancy. The different operation outsourcing models will also be discussed, at various levels, from sharing janitorial costs to joint operation of equipment, depending on each company’s strategy.
Case studies will be presented for discussion with those present.

Choosing the Right Business Model for your Video Service

The way in which video services are monetized has changed dramatically over recent years. Consumers, both in Latin America and across the globe, are feeling the pressures of a challenging economic climate, which is having a knock-on effect on their willingness, and even ability, to spend money on subscription services.

At the same time, consumers are more willing than ever before to sign-up to ad-funded services if it gives them free or cheaper access to the content they want to watch. This means that many of even the biggest SVOD providers have to introduce ad-funded services and tiers to remain competitive in this evolving environment. Meanwhile we are seeing the huge rise of FAST channels driven by its innovative business model and this increasing consumer demand for free streaming content.

While this evolution can be challenging, it also delivers a great number of new revenue opportunities. But how do video service providers determine which is the best business model for their business? And how do they ensure they provide the right amount of value to retain subscribers and successfully monetize their service whichever model they choose? In this session we will tackle those questions.

How to save resources and costs to process and deliver video

When we talk about linear live OTT, we have many specialized and niche channels that attract much smaller audiences than popular and conventional channels. These channels, especially government and regional channels, typically feature programming that targets specific, narrow audiences.
During the lecture, we will demonstrate a theoretical statistical distribution of demand for niche and regional channels. As we will show, there is a high concentration of viewers for a few channels and little or no distribution of viewers on most other channels. The proposed challenge is How to increase efficiency for these channels that, although they are 24/7, have little audience.

From unauthorized content redistribution to more sophisticated forms of online piracy, we will explore the severity of these threats and how they negatively impact content creators, businesses, and consumers alike. It will highlight the tools available for combating piracy, particularly highlighting NAGRA’s latest advancements to revolutionize piracy countermeasures, empower systems to detect violation patterns, identify offenders, and proactively prevent attacks. What is more, as we approach the Olympics and other major live events, and in the age of AI and deep fakes, the ability to discern truth from fiction grows ever more vital. The session will also highlight the importance of preserving the authenticity of content and identify deep fakes through watermarking detection. The opportunities and challenges that arise from integrating artificial intelligence into piracy protection strategies and how organizations can adopt a holistic approach to strengthen their digital defense will also be addressed.

Television news production and AI-generated images: questions about news credibility

Journalistic activity since its origins has had its production crossed by the technological possibilities present in each era. In times of data-driven narratives and algorithmic logic applied to news production, new challenges arise for television news, especially with generative AI, which allows the generation of synthetic moving images. With the resources offered by AI, the use of artificially generated images and automated editing processes become a possibility in journalistic production routines. However, it is necessary to think about the benefits and risks of these applications in news construction based on the issue of credibility in news production.

Who Bets on the Radio?

Many companies and professionals “bet” on radio due to its proven effectiveness, accessibility, and ability to reach a wide audience. This demonstrates the continued relevance and adaptability of the medium, evolving alongside technological and media consumption changes, which ensures the interest of betting companies, leveraging the credibility of broadcasters with the public.

The importance and regulation of advertising for gambling games on the radio fall under CONAR – the National Council for Advertising Self-Regulation, which aims to ensure social responsibility by avoiding harmful behaviors, such as compulsive gambling, etc.

The topic is of broad interest among broadcasters due to the allocated budgets, allowing for immediate interaction with platforms where viewers, while listening to sports commentary, are motivated to engage in the betting process.

ABERT, represented by its Legal Director, Dr. Rodolfo Salema, will discuss with advertisers and broadcasters the limits and scope of this new product, which is increasingly present in the sports environment. This panel promises great interest in the Radio product! Don’t miss it!!!

Evaluation of Advanced ISDB-T MODCODs for TV 3.0

To modernize broadcasting in Brazil, the Brazilian Digital Terrestrial Television System (SBTVD-T) Forum, in cooperation with the Brazilian Ministry of Communications (MCom), created the Television (TV) 3.0 project. The Physical Layer (PL) is important to determine the bit rate available to delivery the content in an Over-the-air (OTA) scenario. After completing the subjective video tests, it was decided that a bit rate of at least 7.5 Mbps would be required to transmit Full High Definition (FHD) content in order to surpass the quality used in TV 2.0/2.5 and up to 37.3 Mbps would be required for the new system to allow the transmission of Ultra High Definition (UHD) content using the current performance of the Versatile Video Coding (VVC) codec. Therefore, in addition to the results obtained during the Phase 3 laboratory tests, this article presents complementary results from Advanced Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting Terrestrial (ISDB-T) using new configurations allowing the bit rates mentioned above to be achieved. The results show that new Modulation and Codings (MODCODs) allow the system to transmit 8K UHD content with Carrier-to-Noise Ratio (C/N) values close to those currently practiced by most TV 2.0/2.5 broadcasters.

RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR PUBLIC COMMUNICATION IN THE NEW CONVERGENCE ENVIRONMENT

The new convergence environment provided by the migration from TV 2.5 to 3.0, while offering opportunities, such as expanding the reach of content and television channels in the public field of communication, can also offer risks. Perhaps the main one is the “disappearance” of public broadcasting for the general public due to the “submersion” of this content in an access environment (front-end) dominated by large economic interests, most of them international. The chance that the contents of public channels have to compete for viewers’ preference could be seriously harmed if rules and regulations do not guarantee prominent space for open broadcasting, in general, and public broadcasting, in particular.
