QoE – Quality Of Experience

Quality of Experience is probably the most important item defining the ability of the Service Provider to grow their network. If their subscriber base has a good QoE, they will grow their network. Looking at subscribers not having a good QoE, the opportunity to lose subscribers is a real problem.
Today, the majority of operators take a significant call volume related to customer issues. If we could diminish this call volume (indicative of increased QoE), the operator’s image would increase which would be felt with additional subscribers.
Importance of Subscriber QoE:
– What does QoE Mean to the Subscriber
* Connectivity – Fiber, Cable, FWA – Does it Matter
* Wi-Fi and it’s role to QoE
– The Challenge to the Operator
* End to End Visibility to Meaningful KPIs (Key Performance Indicators)
* Standards Based Solutions
– AI’s (Artificial Intelligence)
* Could AI have a part in the solution?

Building a New Business Model for Free-to-Air Television in Brazil

TV 3.0 is now a reality, marking the greatest technological revolution since Brazil’s first television broadcast in 1950.

Unlike the transition from analog to digital, which primarily focused on improving quality, DTV+ goes a step further—not only enhancing the viewing experience, but also proposing a complete transformation of the free-to-air television business model in Brazil.

Chair: Silas Adauto do Nascimento, Technical and Engineering Manager at Record Brasília

He worked for many years in the support and maintenance of transmitters, from valve equipment to solid state transmitters, reaching the revolution of Digital TV, which allows the operation with SFN  (Single Frequency Network).

The commercial challenges of TV 3.0

With the arrival of TV 3.0, the broadcast industry is experiencing a pivotal transformation that goes far beyond technology. Executives and technical teams at broadcasters will need to understand not only the new differentiators of over-the-air TV such as superior image quality, interactivity, and real-time data but also their direct impact on commercial operations.
As advertising budgets increasingly shift toward digital, according to IAB Brazil (2024), the industry faces several challenges: broadcast TV is still priced based on outdated metrics, sales teams remain unprepared to engage with data-driven advertisers, and there are growing pains in executing multiplatform campaigns.
What now? This session presents key data aimed at broadening the perspective of executives and decision-makers, while offering practical solutions from ongoing training for commercial teams to the creation of integrated packages including digital and CTV, as well as new pricing models focused on added value.
TV 3.0 is not just a technical upgrade it’s a real opportunity to reposition television as a central piece in brands’ media strategies.

The Challenges of the Broadcast Core Network – Pathways to Virtualization and Orchestration of Distribution Infrastructure Solutions

Over the past decades, broadcast stations have invested in their own distribution systems, resulting in a distributed architecture with dedicated and independent setups per broadcaster. Each station operates its own infrastructure for signal display, compression, and multiplexing—even when airing the same programming content in different regions.

With technological advances—especially the public cloud and the maturity of virtualized (SaaS) solutions—a new operational model emerges, offering the potential to optimize operating costs and adapt more swiftly to consumer and advertising market demands.

How far can we go with optimization, centralization, and virtualization?

What lessons have we learned so far from real-world cases in Brazil and beyond? What level of operational efficiency is realistically attainable?

Let’s find out together.

Increasing Audience Engagement in OTT Streaming from new innovative Flows to AI Metadata Workflows

Streaming continue to advance in the media landscape. Streaming is now characterized by various key points with new challenges. Key points such as reliable, scalable, low latency live streaming; API enabled streaming distribution are now becoming a “norm” whereas challenges with the ad marketplace continues to evolve with a fragmented audience and saturated/fragmented ad layer (programmatic / direct sales / FAST..). There is one additional key point to exploit and it is related to the audience/user engagement. Streaming providers (such as D2C) are now looking into increasing audience engagement and viewership in addition to audience stickiness. Throughout this presentation we will explore how to increase such audience engagement from the new innovative flows (Such as multiview for non 24×7 channels) to usage of AI metadata (with out of the box and BYO-AI model) in the video/streaming domain.

Designing the Future of Media

This year marks the 100th anniversary of radio broadcasting in Japan. Since shortly after the advent of radio, NHK Science & Technology Research Laboratories (STRL) has conducted pioneering research in television broadcasting and, in more recent years, has developed groundbreaking technologies such as HDTV, satellite broadcasting, and emergency warning systems.

In 2024, STRL released Future Vision 2030–2040, outlining a roadmap for the future of media built around three priority areas: Immersive Media, Universal Services, and Frontier Science. Guided by this vision, STRL continues to lead research and development efforts that aim to shape the next generation of broadcasting.

This presentation will provide an overview of Future Vision 2030–2040 and introduce the latest research trends featured at NHK STRL Open House 2025, held this May under the theme “Expanding, Connecting, and deepening your experience!”

Keynote Speaker: Kenichi Murayama, Head of Planning & Coordination Division , STRL - NHK

FM Intermodulation: The Invisible Enemy in the Spectrum

Although silent and invisible to the eye, intermodulation is one of the greatest threats to the quality and integrity of FM broadcasting systems—especially in environments where multiple stations are co-located, share towers, antennas, or are positioned closely in the spectrum, as with adjacent channels spaced at 400 kHz.

In this presentation, we will uncover the physical and technical mechanisms behind intermodulation, demonstrate how it manifests in real-world scenarios (including licensed channels), and discuss its consequences for signal reception, audience reach, and regulatory compliance. Real-life examples, modern diagnostic techniques, and effective mitigation strategies will also be presented—ranging from best practices in system co-location adjustments to filtering, transmitter linearity, and spectral analysis.

Creating a High-Quality, Efficient Visual Radio System Without Breaking the Bank

The evolution of radio broadcasting has been remarkable, with significant technological advancements shaping the way we consume media. From its humble beginnings as an audio-only medium, radio has transformed into a dynamic and interactive platform, incorporating visual elements to enhance the listener experience. The integration of video into radio broadcasts, commonly known as “visual radio” has created new opportunities for broadcasters to engage audiences. However, building a high-quality visual radio system need not come with a prohibitive price tag. With thoughtful planning and the right technology, it’s entirely possible to create a cost-effective visual radio system that delivers professional results.

An Overview of ATSC 3.0 STL Standard

The Studio-to-Transmitter Link (STL) is a critical subsystem within the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) 3.0 broadcasting architecture, serving as the bridge between studio-originated content and the physical transmission infrastructure. It handles the encapsulation, timing, synchronization, and reliable delivery of essential data streams, including Baseband Packets (BBPs), Preamble information, and Timing and Management (T&M) data from the Broadcast Gateway to one or more transmitters. To support robust and synchronized emissions, the STL employs transport protocols derived from the Common Tunneling Protocol (CTP), such as the Data Source Transport Protocol (DSTP), ATSC Link-Layer Protocol Transport Protocol (ALPTP), and Studio-to-Transmitter Link Transport Protocol (STLTP). These protocols ensure that data is delivered in the correct order and at the correct time, even across complex networks.
