Super Hi-Vision to be demonstrated and discussed at launch event in Dubai in January 2015
London - Monday, December 29th 2014 [ME NewsWire]
IBC Content Everywhere MENA 2015
(BUSINESS
WIRE) - IBC Content Everywhere is a new series of global events
addressing the latest developments in media. With digital out-of-home
presentations and high quality acquisition high on the list of current
trends, IBC Content Everywhere will bring NHK’s Super Hi-Vision system
to the Middle East for the first time.
Super Hi-Vision is an 8K
television system, featuring 16 times the resolution of today’s HD,
together with a much higher frame rate of 120 progressive images a
second. Developed by Japanese national broadcaster NHK, it is aimed at
both consumers and at events and presentations such as museums.
NHK
plans trial satellite broadcasts in 2016, with the launch of public
services set for 2018. It is one of the most important initiatives in
future television systems, firing the debate over higher resolutions,
extended colour capabilities and higher frame rates. The demonstration
at IBC Content Everywhere MENA gives broadcasters and network operators a
chance to see the capabilities, as well as discuss the challenges of
transmitting this high data-rate system.
This ultra-high
resolution video also looks astonishing on a huge screen. Even the
biggest projections look bright, rich and detailed. Coupled with the
high frame rate, it creates an impression like no other. Cinemas,
museums and presentation companies will instantly grasp the potential
for this crowd-stopping, eye-popping system.
At IBC Content
Everywhere MENA NHK will be showing some of the latest content they have
shot. This includes remarkable coverage of games at the 2014 FIFA World
Cup finals in Brazil, as well as some specially shot material for art
galleries and museums in Japan.
IBC Content Everywhere is a new
initiative from IBC, bringing together all those involved in rich media
production, devices, apps, content personalisation, social media, and
big data and cloud services. The first event ran in parallel with IBC in
Amsterdam in September 2014, with the second, aimed at the Middle East
and North Africa (MENA) market to be held in Dubai 20 – 22 January 2015.
“We
have developed IBC Content Everywhere to address the emergence of
connected content,” said Michael Crimp, CEO of IBC. “Our event in the
Middle East will share knowledge about how content can be created,
managed, monetised and shared online and to mobile and connected
devices. The display of Super Hi-Vision complements today’s connected
environment with a vision of the future where massive, high resolution
screens will be a part of the media landscape”
Super Hi-Visiton
has had a long association with IBC, starting with the first European
demonstration in 2006, and marking many technical milestones with
presentations at IBC since then.
Exhibitors at IBC Content
Everywhere MENA in Dubai range from creative broadcast suppliers like
Quantel to IT giants like Cisco; content distribution networks like
Akamai to telecom service providers like Etisalat. Conference speakers
include senior executives from broadcasters like Discovery Networks,
BeIN and Sky News Arabia; and vendors and service providers like
Microsoft, Ericsson and YouTube.
IBC Content Everywhere MENA will
be held in the Madinat Jumeirah, in Dubai, 20 – 22 January 2015.
