Richard Friedel, executive vice president of Fox Networks Engineering & Operations, Richard Friedel discusses how he keeps up with emerging technologies and shares his tips for getting through his door and making a successful sales pitch. Many of the innovations to come from the IT side today – as increasingly do competitors such as Amazon, Google and Netflix. Richard Friedel, executive vice president and general manager of Fox Networks Engineering & Operations, joined Fox more than 20 years ago following a stint at ABC and prior to that, at Washington NBC affiliate, WRC-TV - his first professional television job. Over those years, he has seen remarkable advances in technology – and been on the receiving end of countless sales pitches from hopeful vendors. We caught up with Richard in mid-March to discover how he keeps abreast of emerging technologies and get his tips for getting through his door and making a successful sales pitch. How do sales people get through to you? If they’re clever, they’ll find a way! Just as when, say, you’re looking for a new job, you send out a slew of resumes in the hope that at least one person will open it and read it, if...
Executive interview: Chris Brown discusses NAB
Chris Brown, EVP Conventions and Business Operations, NAB, discusses evolving programming elements and marketing outreach. He explains how NAB add programs like the M.E.T. and Google Talks, the Facebook Live Pavilion and the M.E.T. 360 Studio. It hardly seems a year ago that we last spoke! What changes have you seen in the industry in that period – and how is the NAB Show reacting to them? That is a big question and, to be honest, it is hard to know where to start. The larger forces that have been reshaping the very essence of content creation and distribution – and that have certainly changed the nature of what we have traditionally considered broadcasting – have continued to drive change. The lines between platforms, players and even industries are blurring. For the consumer this has meant a tremendous growth in the amount and types of content available, and in the number of ways that content can be accessed. At the center of this evolution is the Internet, as both content platform and tool. The consumption of digital content fits the anytime, anywhere need of the consumer and is creating a whole new set of online “broadcasters;” both those migrating or...
IABM Memberspeak: Playout in the cloud, Igor Kroll, CEO, Veset
Igor Kroll, CEO, Veset, discusses Veset’s current product range and where it is heading. Their main product, Nimbus, delivers ‘self-service SaaS’ for customers. Nimbus enables Veset’s customers to deliver linear TV channels without the need to invest in any hardware or to commit to long-term contracts in any way, shape or form. One of the key benefits of the true cloud playout is that customers pay for what they actually use, which opens the door, not only for reducing costs for traditional 24/7 linear channels, but also to a completely new area of temporary, event-driven channels. When was Veset founded and what was the company’s vision? Veset was founded in 2011 in Latvia by a group of experts from IT, broadcast and telecoms backgrounds. Our vision was to create a pure cloud playout solution. We were surprised that this part of the broadcast workflow chain was lagging so far behind everything else in terms of migrating to the cloud – even in 2011. Tell us about Veset’s current product range and where you heading in the future. We have focused on developing “native” cloud playout solutions right from the start, and this remains our focus today. Our main product, Nimbus,...
