IABM Technology and Trends Roadmap

The IABM Technology and Trends Roadmap isn’t just for industry technologists to use as a reference. IABM has discovered industry execs using it as a starting point for their keynote speeches: product line managers are using this to plot their own products; and corporate board members get a better understanding of where the companies’ products sit on the adoption curve, hence a better grasp or risks vs gross margins. This also assists marketing activities by giving an indication how best to promote products within M&E and also adjacent/vertical market areas.

This year’s update has seen a few major changes of the major technology and trends groupings as the IABM Roadmap working group felt best to portray the condition of the various aspects of the industry. As always this activity draws on strong industry collaboration between end-users, vendors and competitors alike hence it created a lot of discussion, debates and controversy, yet the final outcome is a remarkable example of teamwork.

IABM Regional Members’ Councils

Regional Members’ Councils play a vital role in the IABM’s international ecosystem. Directly elected by all the member companies in each region, they ensure that the widest range of regional interests are represented, and make authoritative contributions to central as well as regional IABM initiatives. The Councils also bring often-competing companies together to share ideas, challenges and solutions – a manifestation of the way the whole MediaTech industry is moving towards a more collaborative approach.

This Census was carried out in partnership with Rise, a group for women in broadcast, and IABM, the international trade association for broadcast and media technology suppliers.

Collaboration is the new normal

A decade ago, when Peter White became CEO of IABM, its membership was about 250 and the staff numbered five. At its peak in 2020 before Covid-19 hit, membership reached 650+ and the staffing had quadrupled. George Jarrett reports. IABM now bristles with valuable data and knowledge, and smart initiatives and partnerships, but when White emerged from another industry that had adopted digitisation, he was surprised by the sloth with which the broadcast business jumped from tape to file, and joined the digital age.

Our industry is filled with different standards that are constantly being updated and new ones initiated.

We will also cover the latest activities from our IABM Endorsed Collaborative Groups – AIMS – Alliance for IP Media Solutions, DPP – Digital Production Partnership, MOS Development Group, Streaming Video Alliance and VSF – Video Services Forum.
