The International Broadcasting Convention, or IBC 2017, is one of the world’s leading events for showcasing technical innovation and hosting discussions in the electronic media and entertainment industries. Participants at the conference and exhibition, traditionally taking place at the Amsterdam RAI Exhibition and Convention Centre, amounted to 55,000 people.
The largest industry players discussed issues of strategic online development, content management, radio, Internet marketing, television, digital media, content creation and entertainment technology.
Prosense’s task during the conference was to explore new solutions for content delivery along with codecs for compressing video and audio signals. A large part of Prosense’s projected solutions for VR broadcasting will indeed make their way to the general public in the coming year, and events at the level of the IBC clearly demonstrate the dynamics of market development.
While at the exhibition, representatives from our team held more than twenty meetings with software and hardware manufactures. A number of cutting-edge devices for shooting audio and video content in VR, none of which as of yet available for large-scale testing, have been examined by Prosense’s technical experts.
