France 24 director of technical solutions for distribution David Couret explained the reliable internet stream transport (Rist) protocol that has been adopted by some manufacturers will help drive business solutions through greater interoperability.

ATSC 3.0, a next-generation TV standard that launched into 40 US markets, was highlighted by PP Foresight media and telco analyst Paolo Pescatore, while IABM lead research analyst Lorenzo Zanni said the direct-to-consumer (D2C) shift will remain dominant throughout 2019 with companies such as Disney battling with Netflix for consumer eyeballs. 

He added: “There is a lot of increasing talk about data and efficiencies for better consumer experience and the role of data to help the content supply chain with technology such as artificial intelligence (AI) and the cloud to power more efficiencies.”

SVT chief technology officer Adde Granberg highlighted the significance of SFP (small form-factor pluggable) transceivers in routers while the monitoring of IP and macro security is “massively transformational”, according to Red Bee Media chief services portfolio officer Dave Travis. 

He said: ”The increase and target to improve the flexibility and agility in our business and this product re-enforces where the market is heading.”
