It’s needless to state that the global broadcast, media and service provider
industry is going through some pretty radical changes, and that its very
foundations are continuously shaken by new waves of disruption.
Suddenly, the traditional players that were living happily alongside one
another in a fairly well-defined and static broadcast value chain find
themselves face to face in one big new and entirely re-defined arena.
And as if that was not confusing enough, global internet behemoths are
also stepping into that very same arena.

This annual event covering three days at the EBU headquarters in Geneva brings together 150 professionals from the public broadcast sector and increasingly the private sector as well. In addition to those attending in person, the EBU streams the event live with high production values, interactivity and excellent video and sound quality.
In past years there was more of a deep dive in to the various video formats and specifications in development, SMPTE 2110 and compression algorithm for example.

Statistics and trends data repeatedly confirm that the Internet for many is the first choice for video consumption. Sure, there are variations among age groups and region, but the direction is clear. Many traditional broadcasters are in denial and risk doing too little, too late as the ultimate outcome approaches. [caption id="attachment_60444" align="alignright" width="200"] John Ive (Director Strategic Insight, IABM)[/caption]Depending on your point of view it’s possible to argue the case for and against the health of traditional broadcasting: “World Cup 2018 TV viewing figures: In the UK incredible 23.6 million viewers tune in as England beat Colombia on penalties”. This is truly an impressive number but a few high spots like this cannot sustain an entire broadcast service if other forms of programming are slipping away – as indeed they are. So, what are the factors that we need to consider when attempting to see the way ahead? Here is the first dilemma: the viewers. Do they drive change, or do they follow change? There isn’t a clear answer to this and the truth may lie between the two. It could be argued that viewers follow what they like – whether it’s the program content or the way it...
