BroadcastAsia 2012
promises to be bigger
SINGAPORE: Asia's key broadcast technology show,
BroadcastAsia, promises to be bigger this year.
It'll have about 730 exhibitors from 41 countries - 12 per cent
more than last year.
The four-day event, which
starts on 19 June, will be held at Suntec Singapore.
It'll showcase the latest broadcast technology and products.
Organisers said the spotlight will be on Over-The-Top (OTT)
content, which refers to services delivered using the Internet -
normally from a provider to the viewer.
Consumers can watch video-on-demand content on their mobile devices
and tablets.
While some industry players are concerned about the security of the
technology, director of sales and operations at EVS, Protik
BanerJee, hopes to offer solutions which may help this technology
take flight.
"What is currently being offered you're seeing just one angle on
the TV and when it is live. What OTT gives you is an opportunity to
catch up - you can subscribe, that's the revenue generation model
for most of the operators who roll it out. How it is helpful is,
you see multiple camera angles. And they can do social networking
along with that."
