In the past for its coverage of the Olympic Games, France TV has built a dedicated facility at the International Broadcast Center (IBC) in the host city and delivered signals back to its headquarters in Paris for distribution to viewers via over-the-air TV. However, with the 2024 Games taking place in its own backyard, the broadcaster saw a unique opportunity — it could forgo the IBC and instead use its own facilities for the event. Furthermore, to enhance the viewer experience, France TV committed to delivering its Olympic coverage in UHD.

HPE – Is sustainability compatible with AI in the media and entertainment industry?
When none other than Tyler Perry halts an $800 million studio expansion after seeing a text-to-video AI demo, you know something major is happening in media and entertainment. AI isn’t new to the industry—Netflix has used machine learning (ML) to serve up recommendations since the early 2000s—but generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is changing more than distribution and marketing. GenAI is primed to change how film, television, and music are imagined and produced.
NStarX – Can GenAI help with better visibility on the outcome of film making?
Financing Movie Making requires convergence of investors, bankers and several financial institutions coming together. The entire movie making process is complex across the lifecycle of pre-production, production, post-production, distribution etc.
As a producer of a movie, the intent is to ensure the success of the content (movie) and make financial profit. The entire moving making process results in a lot of data generation (from scripts, marketing assets, actors, posters, trailers, props, exchange of information, ideas and so many other aspects across the lifecycle).
Can AI or GenAI help with finding patterns through the latitude of data across the movie making lifecycle? Can it help with prediction of success of movies that allows producers, directors, financiers to take informed and wise decisions for moving making? NStarX Data Scientists have been looking at this problem for a while now!

Chyron – The streaming shake-up: what’s next for media companies and tech vendors
The rise of the mega streamer has brought the broadcast media industry into a period of volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. The acronym VUCA first described the complex and challenging geopolitical situation in 1987 following the Cold War, and now aptly defines the current media landscape. It’s an environment characterized by volatility in that challenges are unexpected and sometimes incomprehensible; by uncertainty in that change may happen, or not; by complexity in that it is influenced by numerous variables; and by ambiguity in that causal relationships can be difficult or impossible to define.
