Files are displacing videotape and film in acquisition and delivery. This raises the question ‘if we begin with files, post produce files and deliver files, why do we need conventional post and broadcast products? Can’t commodity IT kit do the job?’
The need has never been greater to get costs under control. Increasingly, commodity IT products can do the job -- but there’s growing evidence that to really drive down costs, we have to stop simply dropping IT-based products into conventional post and broadcast architectures and really start to think about business processes. That’s why Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is now a hot topic. SOA is not a technology but rather a design philosophy widely used outside our industry, write Bruce Devlin and Mark Horton of AmberFin.

The technology strategy describes the BBC's intent to leverage technologies such as virtualisation, cloud and consumer technologies but the next step was to translate those ambitions into specific areas of technology to start achieving them. We identified 35 different areas of technology and set out to create an individual roadmap or strategy for each. The roadmaps cover all major areas from core infrastructure such as networks and data centres through to content production technology and audience facing such as Red Button and online search.
An observation that came from developing the strategies is the importance of enterprise architecture. The BBC is at a tipping point where integration is the focus for both our content production and our enterprise systems. Integration will enable the BBC to deliver efficiencies and better ways of working but it's not trivial to deliver. For the BBC to achieve its goals the role of architectural frameworks, interoperability standards (such as minimal metadata standards) and shared services are vital. Attached to this blog is a summary of all the individual strategy roadmaps. It should provide you with a view of where the BBC would like to focus its efforts across each area of technology. Achieving many of these ambitions is dependant on the relationship the BBC has with technology partners and the innovation and creativity that exists in the market.

VH1 knew that its primarily young and tech-savvy viewers were using mobile devices like the iPhone and iPad to share information with their friends while watching its shows. At the same time, it realized that many viewers weren’t necessarily tuning into live airings while they were tweeting or messaging their friends on Facebook. So the cable network has released a new companion iPad app for its programming, called VH1 Co-Star, which combines both social sharing with on-demand viewing.
VH1 Co-Star works like most second-screen social sharing apps: Users can log in via Twitter or Facebook, allowing them to see messages from their friends while they watch a show, along with highlighted tweets from other viewers and members of a shows’ cast. But the twist is that the Co-Star app’s WatchWith feature basically emulates the live social experience, even if viewers are tuning in to a re-run or a recording on their DVRs.

It was only five months ago that Amazon added an SLA and more edge locations to their CDN offering CloudFront, and last night Amazon took the service a step further with the announcement that CloudFront now supports live streaming of Flash video. Content owners can now use Amazon CloudFront with Amazon EC2 running Adobe's Flash Media Server and Amazon Route 53 (AWS's DNS service) to deliver live video via AWS.

Sharp and NHK are showing off the world's first Super Hi-Vision display, pointing the way to a future where high definition TV will be many times sharper than the HDTV we're familiar with today (33-megapixel screen made up of 7,680 x 4,320 pixels).

Think you have finally mastered user interfaces? Ha. Think again. The next big thing is Internet TV, but the difficulty of operating these sites with a handheld remote hampers its adoption. Our job as developers is to modify our UIs to provide access to our features and content, yet also remaining familiar to users accustomed to the simplicity of cable television interfaces. This turns out to be a very hard problem.

At Streaming Media West 2010 last November, Microsoft launched IIS Media Services 4.0. This HTTP-based media server stack plugs into Internet Information Services (IIS), the web server built into Windows. Unlike traditional streaming servers, IIS Media Services scales out using any HTTP caching server, rather than requiring specific downstream streaming media servers. Today, Microsoft announced it is releasing the beta of a new IIS extension we previously discussed called IIS Transform Manager.
IIS Media Services extensions effectively turn IIS into a media origin server, but because IIS Smooth Streaming can use either IIS caching servers or any other standard HTTP caching servers downstream to scale (rather than requiring specific downstream streaming servers, as traditional streaming servers such as FMS or WMS typically do), the scale-out is not at all locked to any one server solution. Microsoft sees Transform Manager as an integral part of an Expression Encoder 4 Pro encoding workflow in three areas: converting existing content libraries to other formats, such as Smooth Streaming; constant ingest/ transcode; and converting fragmented MP4 files to Apple HTTP Live Streaming segments for on-demand content delivery.

Given that Apple say that Final Cut Pro has been rewritten from the ground up, it is very likely that it stores its information in a database that will be available to other applications and users. It is likely that multiple users will have access to the database at the same time.
That means new collaboration opportunities.

At ANGA this week Civolution is demonstrating how its watermarking technology can be used to synchronize live or recorded content on television with interactive applications on an Apple iPad. Channel ID and time codes contained in the audio output of the television are heard by the tablet and these provide the prompt for an action.

One of the key missing features of the Android platform had been the support of HTTP Live Streaming (also known as HLS). HLS is a media streaming protocol that has been made popular by Apple. Apple rolled out the requirement that any app streaming over cellular networks must do so using HTTP Live Streaming about a year ago, and this change has resulted in a dramatic adoption of HLS by video distributors.
With Android 3.0, Google has taken steps to close that gap. From the Android 3.0 Platform Highlights page: "The media framework supports most of the HTTP Live streaming specification, including adaptive bit rate."
