57th FITCE Congress, UK 2018 Delivery and Consumption of Digital Media 8K AND HOLOGRAPHY, THEIR IMPACT ON COMMUNICATIONS AND FUTURE MEDIA TECHNOLOGY Laurence Murphy MA,MIET,MBCS,SMPTE
NEW TECHNOLOGIES AND THEIR PLACE IN MEDIA FUTURES I lead the BSc Media Technology programme at Salford. I help shape the next generation of flexible multiskilled Hybrid engineers for the modern media industry. I research into next generation technologies and their impact and potential for wider adoption. I am also a senior member of the IET in the Multimedia PN A coordinator for SMPTE in the North.
BROADCAST TV EVOLVES Traditional Television distribution has changed significantly in the last ten years. We still have a large Terrestrial Satellite and cable fabric in Europe but the changes I will illustrate have changed the direction and significantly altered the future of media Distribution for both television and Cinema. The Collaboration involvement and extension of the use of Traditionally communications technologies has radically changed the Landscape today and for the future.
Compression KEY ISSUES Usable Bandwidth Network structures Changing Protocols and new standards to enable IP change moving away from traditional baseband engineering and infrastructures.
CDNS AND OTT PROVIDERS CDNs and OTT providers have accelerated the move to widen delivery methods using primarily traditional comms circuits and methodologies. Fixed line and mobile comms networks constitute a significant media delivery infrastructure today. They have significant potential to expand and diversify standards deliverable to the public
BROADCAST IS GONE NOT QUITE YET There is a move to redefine Media delivery from the Broadcast model to a more modern Distributed media definition. We still have Traditional broadcast methods but increasingly they are being replaced by Distributed media which reflects the multiple varied accessing methods for media consumption. Home TV, computer, Tablets, Mobile phones, on fixed line fibre,mobile networks WIFI,WIMAX. Comms companies are in an interesting position to affect, collaborate and lead the move to create a more homogonous flexible, adaptable delivery and distribution future. BT sport is a good example.
