Digital Studio - May 2016

Digital Studio’s May 2016 issue focuses on the 2016 NAB Show – especially the trends and technologies showcased there. Besides an in-depth report about what transpired during the week-long event, there are interviews from industry professionals who state what their key takeaways from this trade fair-cum-conference were.

This year, at the NAB Show, almost every vendor showcased solutions optimised for 4K, and even 8K, even though currently there is little content around it. Since it is unclear whether broadcasters will get any immediate business benefit by re-fitting their playout and content management infrastructure for 4K, this issue of Digital Studio has James Gilbert, CEO of Pixel Power, outline what a far-sighted broadcast technocrat should opt for while planning for a future-ready, higher resolution production facilities.

OTT solutions also had a dominant presence at the NAB Show. The May 2016 issue of Digital Studio, therefore, takes a closer look at it by examining a Deloitte survey, which shows how nearly 50% Americans subscribe to streaming media services, while digital reviews eclipse TV advertising’s influence for many millennials. As Indians view more online video content, we ask experts if they too will transition towards mobile-based viewership, thereby challenging traditional business models.

As always, the information-packed Digital Studio presents a comprehensive report on various emerging industry trends, business news, as well as information about the latest products and solutions rolled out by leading organizations.
