Session Details
The Cutting Edge sessions are, as always, an eclectic mix of all that’s new and exciting “from the labs”.
Stereoscopic 3D content is the new kid on the block, but how can one generate such content without needing a dedicated 3D shooting rig for each programme and how do producers visualise their new programme at the planning stage?
Content creation is always the most expensive aspect of filling a channel with worthy programmes and anything that can speed up this process has to be taken seriously. Techniques such as Text-to-Speech processing and Voice Transformation, new microphone technology to ease the production of surround sound, and sophisticated video signal processing to generate virtual cameras at sports events will all be presented in this session.
Finally, the increasing age profile of consumers around the world is a factor that is concentrating the minds of many a government. How can their quality of life be enhanced and how can television help in this context.
All these topics and more will be aired in this Cutting Edge session.
