ACCELERATOR PROJECT

This new IBC Accelerator Challenge will aim to explore advancements of our live media production workflows and upgrade them into the modern, present day via device-agnostic, gallery-agnostic and hybrid ways of working, and prove control of both existing on prem and cloud devices.

Making live television and content should be more gallery and device agnostic, which will help the broadcasting adapt to budgets, technical possibilities and a variety of circumstances, like a sudden change in venue or location.

Placing a core focus on the fast-paced pressures of live-to-air, this IBC Accelerator challenge will aim to explore and showcase how to decide the toolset needed at any given time, while keeping the workflow consistent and at the center at all times. The POC will also aim to run a live event on location controlling only cloud devices and demonstrate how any show could be as easy as 'making a TikTok’.

Kickstart Day Pitch:

 

GO HYBRID

• Explore how any show can be made fully remote and/or in the cloud (5G) 

NO PHYSICAL GALLERY 

• Demonstrate how there is not the need for a physical gallery to run the show  

NO OPERATORS

• Explore how there is no need for any technical assistance during a live show 

(GRADUAL) SWITCH ON-PREM

• Switch between ON-PREM and FULL CLOUD gradually or instantly 

WORKFLOW FOCUS

• Workflow remains the same - switch between devices as needed: workflow-centric. 

AUTOMATIC FAILOVER/ BACK-UP 

• When a device loses connectivity, and the ease to switch to cloud and/or on-prem back-up
