2022 Accelerator Media Innovation Programme

Aiming to demonstrate how professional live sports events, with multiple camera feeds, can be delivered at scale with full visibility, including live IP signal ingest, standards conversion as well as assessing the potential to introduce low latency protocols. 

A first-of-its-kind project that brings together predominant supply chain software companies to create a definitive blueprint for distributing entertainment content globally. From licensing to localization and final delivery, hear what these industry leaders believe are the key considerations for building a best practice cloud-based media supply chain for content localization.

What will the next generation news studio look like? How will it combine all the new latest greatest technologies? Never had there been so many exiting technologies, that can be integrated in the news studio production, and so this exciting Accelerator project sets out to explore and define a futureproof concept for News studios. 

Fresh off their 2021 Project of the Year victory, the winning combo of 5G and XR (Extended Realities) returns to further push 5G’s low latency and connectivity into the 3D arena-verse of the future via live Augmented Reality esports and multi-location, multi-player fan hyper-personalisation using immersive, real-time technologies. 

Following on from work in the Accelerator programme over the last two years, this breakthrough project aims to demonstrate just how portable flexible a private 5G ‘network in a box’ can be for live broadcast production use cases, taking it to some truly remote global locations, as well as to the IBC show itself. 

Creating first-person-perspective music and narrative experiences that audiences are free to move around and interact with. It aims to understand how 6DOF (six degrees of freedom) audio content in the metaverse will impact upon content creation and delivery.

To build the live studio of the future and evolve the traditional broadcast pipeline to incorporate the latest content creation technologies such as volumetric, motion capture, live action and 3D render engine, ensuring efficient delivery of real-time content for multiple platforms including broadcast, live-streaming, the metaverse and interactive channels.

This progressive Accelerator Challenge will utilise Blockchain technology to explore content sharing, micropayments and incentivisation solutions that will enable OTT subscribers (authorised users) to share content with a new set of users (non-subscribers), operate as a micro-distribution channel and receive and enable rewards.
