Memories of IBC2011
It has been over two weeks since my heady five days at the RAI in Amsterdam, the first without construction work for the first time in quite a few years. As always there was an awful lot of catching up with friends and ex-colleagues, but there was a serious amount of tech fun to see [...]
Blackarrow Consulting at IBC2011
IBC has rolled round again and we will be enjoying the delights of the RAI – hot dogs and Coke Lite that are almost as expensive as Inkjet Printer Ink (that is the most expensive thing by volume on the planet I understand) – for the 14th year in a row, over the coming days [...]
Internet Connectivity during IBC 2011
Many of you will be visiting Amsterdam for IBC 2011 and your thoughts may be turning to how to get online when you are there. You can, of course, make use of roaming data… if your company is rich enough, or you can make use of your hotel WiFi or hope to find free/paid options [...]
Evolution End
Last summer I blogged about the differing approaches that Apple and Google have taken with respect to the development of their respective phone (and now tablet) platforms. In the post, I postulated that iOS4 could be the last time that Apple enjoyed an advantage over Google Android, and that the multiple path development approach taken [...]
IBC comes around again… is this one about real IPTV?
Well September has rolled around again and IBC is coming. All of our mailboxes are full of bumf, invites and some that can only be described as spam for even the hardened IBC visitor. However what will it bring this year? Previous years have been about 3D and IPTV, and of course we cannot forget mobile [...]
The Emperor’s New Clothes
IBC this year was interesting for me from the perspective that it was a show with only limited ‘new things’. This was an evolutionary IBC not a revolutionary one. HD is bedded in, IPTV is mainstream, OTT Video is a developing situation and the next new thing development is up for grabs. I did not [...]
IBC2009 Informal Social Meetup
Are you in Amsterdam for IBC2009? at a loose end after all the vendor or customer meetings and want a relaxing drink in convivial surroundings? A number of Amsterdam bound and Amsterdam housed Digital TV professionals are going to be meeting up for an informal drink inside/outside (Weather dependent) of Hoopmans (http://www.hoopman.nl/hoopman.htm ) in Leidseplein, [...]
IBC2009: Joiners and Socialisers
A major part of IBC is the experience of meeting your fellow peers from all across the world, after the seeing, touching and hearing about upcoming technology in your own field all in one place. So how do you keep socialised with your peers and friends that you have in the business away from IBC? [...]
IBC 2009 Approaching…
The blog has been a little quiet, but this has been down to some pretty intense project work for a major vendor. However IBC is quickly approaching and thoughts are now turning to what is coming and what I shall be looking at for my annual time there (although a little curtailed compared to normal [...]
IBC2008 Audio Resources
Super fun bonus for DTV folks, there is a very good resource for those who could not attend the conference side of IBC – audio recordings in MP3 format of the sessions. You may lose a little from not having visuals, but this is nothing to be sniffed at. You can find these on http://qedsessions.mc.sideshow.com/ibc2008/session/. [...]
