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!

The development of a new broadcast-grade 8K EFP camera and its application at the international winter games
This paper introduces the technical framework and design scheme of the newly developed 8K ultra-high-definition camera system, and focuses on the analysis of its core technical advantages, as well as identifying 10 technical highlights and six technical indicators achieved. It also analyzes the system’s practical application at the international winter games. The new broadcast-grade 8K EFP camera fills the gap of domestic 8K image vision and camera products in the field of broadcast, film and television, which is conducive to improving the current situation of backward front-end equipment for video recording and editing in our country, and is expected to promote the development of the entire ultra-high-definition video industry chain.

Creating XR content
XR is one of the trendiest and most recent flavours of Virtual Reality, and many understand it as the usage of virtual backgrounds, displayed on large LED video walls, for movies, drama, or live events. However, the concept of XR (Extended Reality) goes far beyond these applications, which are often spectacular, but also do not take advantage of the many possibilities this technology can provide.
