Industry Challenges

There are many challenges facing broadcasting companies at this current moment of transformation of the industry and which extend beyond the technological environment to include consumption habits, regulation, metrics and advertisers, drastically affecting every element of the value chain supporting the current business model.   The relevance of content hasn’t changed, but the monetization models surrounding content are experiencing in-depth transformation as traditional companies around the world abandon the traditional B2B relationship model with providers, advertising agencies and subscriber TV operators, for a relationship in which they offer their content directly to the final consumer, expanding and diversifying D2C models.
The panel will present the way forward, so that traditional media companies can embrace the challenges of this transformation: How can advertising inventories be transacted on all platforms using the digital economy’s own metrics and models? How do you establish partnerships in your advertisers’ business solution?  How do you increasingly get to know the public that consumes content? The guest speakers will share an up-to-date view from the perspective of the NAB, the IBC, the IABM and the ATSC.

PRODUCTION WITH QUALITY – EFFICIENCY, AGILITY x COST / BENEFIT

The journalistic content production, entertainment, sports, and drama segments have always striven for better efficiency at lower costs. This constant search is a result of the advent of new technologies and production models. The world has just suffered the impact of a pandemic that is changing the course of recent history, forcing us to search for these solutions even more quickly and effectively. For example, we are facing a new phenomenon that involves all advertising and communication platforms: live sessions. How can we respond quickly and immediately to the needs of our stakeholders?

SET has reacted rapidly by proposing to bring this debate to the present, using a webinar format to help address or search for the way forward to this new reality.

  • New Developments in ‘SR Live’ for HDR Live Productions

    The presentation will discuss the latest developments and workflows for the use of HDR technologies and products in live production systems. In particular, the introduction of Sony’s new ‘SR Live Metadata’ packet which captures the essential production camera adjustments and creative decisions by camera operators during the production workflow.

    The information carried by this packet can then be used to recreate an SDR On-Air signal – derived from the main HDR production layer – which perfectly matches the SDR output signals from the production cameras, as well as guaranteeing an outstanding quality for the HDR production master.

    The presentation will also discuss picture quality issues that could arise when using diverse SDR/HDR conversion techniques during program production. Sony is providing a solution to these “production side-effects” by a new selection of image looks being applied, under creative control, to the selected HDR production format.

  • Distributed Production: Resource optimization using Lawo solutions

    With the advent of IP solutions and the coming-of-age of the standards, there has been an almost immediate increase in market demand for the concept of remote and decentralized production that reduces the implementation time on productions undertaken using such solutions.

    Consider companies with infrastructures installed in different locations, where because of certain limitations on space and/or investment it is impossible to consume resources on production equipment and professionals in a more constant manner.

    The method we refer to as Distributed Production can help to optimize the use of resources in order to provide users with a more immediate return on the investment made.

    In the medium-to-long term, this type of solution will make it possible to use production equipment resources and professionals available locally or externally, anytime and anywhere.
