We caught up with Jean Lapierre, Senior Director, Advanced Technologies to discuss Matrox® VERO.
Jean tells us about what VERO is and what stimulated its development, why they build a new device rather than just use a simple SDI-to-ST 2110 gateway.
We also talk about how VERO includes a capture function and why someone would need that in a signal generator. Finally, we hear how VERO is useful for any users that may need a ST 2110 reference source.

Discussing Risk: Designing Resilient Media Supply Chains Panel
This panel of supply chain experts examine the state of business, operational and technical risk at media companies. With the pandemic accelerating established technology transitions such as the move to virtualized infrastructures, have media companies effectively managed the security risks that this transition implies. And what about the increasing use of data to drive media operations, will that pose new challenges that media professionals have not been accustomed to deal with? This session is laser focused on every type of risk encountered by media companies in today’s volatile media world. It is an ideal session for media technology professionals wanting to grow their awareness of new types of risks that could radically affect their work as well as how to manage them effectively.
Discussing Transformation – As-a-Service Economics Panel
This session features a panel who examine suppliers’ transition to as-a-service models. The expedited move to remote working caused by the pandemic has forced technology suppliers in the media industry to accelerate their transition from large and infrequent monetary inflows to smaller and more continuous cash streams. At the same time, the pandemic has also forced suppliers to prop up virtual and continuous engagement with their customers due to the absence of trade shows. What are the major implications of this for technology providers in the media industry? How do you plan, develop and price the new as-a-service offerings? How do you forecast revenue streams in a time of unprecedented change? We try to answer these questions with a panel of leaders at major technology suppliers in our industry who explore the challenges and benefits of as-a-service models, and how to make it work.
