An IBC preview

Summer is, of course the time for writing IBC previews, so here’s one I did for a client in August.

Written for Viaccess-Orca, it skews towards their own interests to generate interest and footfall (CTAs on the blog post are all about ‘come meet us at the show’) while also providing a broad overview of trends at the show.

Snippet:

IBC might be a smaller show than its giant American counterpart, NAB, but it’s still big enough that to explore the whole thing over the course of its five days is a serious challenge. There are something like 1700 exhibitors filling the halls of the RAI, and with a high-profile and very vocal Conference as well, it always feels like a show that sets the agenda for the following year.

So, with that in mind, this is our list of the top 10 things to see and technologies to investigate at IBC2019. Some are actual areas of the show, some are events, and others are themes that will underpin the discussions that take place.

And, for the record, the 10 things are:

1. Low latency

2. Content piracy

3. AI everywhere

4. Esports

5. UHD/HDR/8K/5G

6. Media-Telecom Catalyst

7. Remote production

8. Increased equality

9. Android TV

10. Something unexpected
