Avid has engineered a work flow that will allow the 100-mbps HD video from the EVS units to be seamlessly converted to Avid's DNxHD mezzanine compression format (operating at 120 mbps for 50 Hz production, instead of the typical 145 mbps). This allows EVS' IPDirector systems to transfer EVS clips directly to the Avids for editing and for finished Avid clips to be pushed to EVS for playback to air.
-
Avid is supplying a Unity ISIS shared storage system with some 224 terabytes of storage, Interplay work-flow-management software and 34 seats of Symphony Nitris and Media Composer nonlinear editing software. The Avid systems will connect to XT servers from EVS, which will be used by NBC to ingest live feeds (NBC has a total of 48 XT servers).
-
NBC will have more than 100 Sony cameras in Beijing, but the lion's share of coverage will come from BOB, which is using some 60 mobile units and a mix of HD cameras, including Thomson LDK hard cameras and Panasonic P2 solid-state camcorders, to cover every sport in 1080-line-interlace HD at 50 hertz. NBC will mainly use its cameras to supplement BOB's coverage of major sports such as track and field.
-
an unprecedented amount of broadband coverage. Some 2,200 hours of live streaming broadband coverage of 25 sports will run, plus another 3,000 hours of on-demand video including highlights and encores.
-
A significant technology shift for Beijing is moving from Sony HDCAM tape to Sony XDCAM HD optical disc as NBC's “workhorse format” for ENG-type (electronic newsgathering) acquisition and editing. NBC had been waiting for the “phase 3” version of XDCAM HD with 4:2:2 color sampling, eight audio channels and 50-megabit-per-second recording before moving to the optical-disc format. It didn't get test machines until February, and it took delivery of around 170 XDCAM HD recording decks and 35 PDW-700 camcorders June 1. That “was a little nerve-wracking,” said Mazza, adding that NBC will continue to use some HDCAM tape decks in its traditional edit suites.

Media, Fans Going Online for 2008 Olympic Games | Online NewsHour | August 12, 2008 | PBS
-
NBC, which paid nearly a billion dollars for the rights to these games, is broadcasting 24 hours a day on its networks.
-
NBC is also trying to drive viewers to its Web site, NBColympics.com, putting over 2,000 hours of coverage online, including live events, on-demand video, and extensive features.
-
But in this Internet age, NBC is struggling to enforce its U.S. broadcast rights. Friday's opening ceremonies, for example, were taped and held for air in the U.S. in primetime nearly 12 hours after they'd begun in China.
-
But clips popped up all day on popular Internet sites like YouTube. And throughout the first days of the games, NBC was constantly requesting that video of events be taken off Web sites with U.S.-based audiences.
-
there's roughly 3,600 hours of programming available. And, you know, that's just unprecedented.

Sunday's prime-time broadcast recorded a 17.9 Nielsen rating and 31 share, up 16 percent from 15.4/26 for the first Sunday in Athens (the site of the 2004 Games), with an average audience of 31.7 million viewers and 81 million total viewers. Adding its cable outlets, NBC's Sunday audience for the Olympics hit 107 million.
-
The three-day Nielsen average of 17.0/30 is the best for a non-U.S. Olympics since 1976, up from 14.1/26 for the first three days in Athens, and average viewership is 30.4 million, up from 24 million in Athens.
-
And the fuel for Sunday's numbers, NBC play-by-play announcer Dan Hicks said Sunday night, was Lezak's anchor leg in the men's 400-meter freestyle relay that nipped the French at the wall and preserved Michael Phelps' drive for eight gold medals.
-
Visitors to NBCOlympics.com viewed 1.1 million streams of the relay, and total page views Sunday hit 66.7 million with 5.1 million unique users and more than 3.4 million total video streams.

German DVB-H verging on collapse - MaldivianDigital® :: Forum
Tags: no_tag on 2008-07-31 -All Annotations (0) -About

-
The German mobile TV package in DVB-H technology, backed by publishing houses Burda and Holtzbrinck together with South African media company Naspers, appears to be on the verge of folding. The partners, who form operating company Mobile 3.0, are about to bury their plans, reports German newspaper Bild. Former partner MFD is said to have already bailed out and it seems that it is now just a matter of finding a way to end the project for all concerned without loss of face. The partners have apparently not yet agreed on which party should cover how much of the several million euros already invested, and it also remains unclear if the licence will be sold or returned to the media authorities.
-
The reason for Mobile 3.0’s failure to penetrate the market is believed to be mainly due to the lack of marketing cooperation with Germany’s large mobile phone companies, which also applied for the DVB-H licence. After Mobile 3.0 was granted the licence, the companies decided to introduce their own TV mobile phones to the market which can receive conventional digital terrestrial television via DVB-T completely free of charge, thereby torpedoing Mobile 3.0’s business model to charge monthly fees of between €5 and €10.
-
If the speculation proves to be true, this would mean that, after the DMB package Watcha, which MFD closed in May due to limited customer acceptance and a lack of economic perspectives, the second attempt to establish broadcast-based mobile TV in Germany has failed.

The Czech Republic and Romania will not be left behind. Since the end of 2006, T-Mobile Czech Republic is running DVB-H trials in Prague with the help of the media company, Radiokomunikace. Orange Romania is currently orchestrating trials in Bucharest.

The inspiring success story of the Italian mobile operator, 3 Italia, commanded the attention of western and eastern European countries alike.
-
Says Saverio, “In 2006, 3 Italia launched its mobile TV (DVB-H) service. 3 Italia started the service in time for the football world cup and so had an astonishing take-up rate. The reason for this success was quite simple. “Football supporters do not really care about technologies. They want to view their teams when they are not at home at a good quality and at a package, which meets the needs of their wallets. 3 Italia managed to do all of this.

Research and Markets: Many Consider Mobile TV as a Major Potential Revenue Generator in Coming Years. - MarketWatch

he primary drivers for the widespread adoption of mobile TV
include the strong demand for existing TV content, the creation and
availability of customized mobile content, interactive services and
programming, new (fashionable) mobile TV devices, and the increasing
global mobile phone penetration. -
In-Stat, a market research firm,
projects there will be 102 million mobile TV broadcast subscribers
worldwide by the end of 2010, up from 3.4 million in 2006, with much
of the growth coming from India, China, Africa and Latin America.
Datamonitor, a market research firm, predicted there were
approximately 4.4 million mobile broadcast TV subscribers at the end
of 2006, expected to grow to 155.6 million by 2012. -
As a potential thorn in the sides of mobile carriers,
placeshifting companies allow users to access their home TV through a
mobile device from anywhere in the world, without incurring a monthly
fee. The disruptive nature of placeshifting has the potential to
follow closely on the heels of the disruptive impact on the music
industry initiated by the introduction of the Apple IPOD, Napster, and
other Internet music download sites. -
ABI, a market research firm,
expects the placeshifting market will grow from under $22 million in
2006 to $740 million by 2011. As the technology is in its infancy it
is experiencing growing pains, and legal issues arise from the
copyright usage of re-broadcasting material. This has put large
players in a bit of a quandary, as initial versions of this technology
adapt to the legal framework. For wireless operators, placeshifting
has a risk of disrupting their mobile TV content services business.

By February 2008, the six-channel free terrestrial T-DMB had around 10 million customers and the 19-channel TU Media pay-satellite service had only 1.3 million customers, far short of the three million subscribers it needs to break even.

t is, however, possible that users of 3G mobile services have just not yet warmed to the idea of watching TV on their mobiles. Of the BBC’s mobile viewership 24% came from Orange and 51% from T-mobile in the month of February.
-
Be that as it may, it will be difficult to convince the BBC Trust, to add mobile to the list of distribution channels for its TV and radio programs. The TV channels in consideration are BBC One, Two, and Three, and BBC News 24; The radio channels are Radio 1, 2, 3, 4, 6Music, 7, Asian, and 1xtra.
-
The BBC, however, has stated that “the overall cost of delivering this proposal will not be significant.” This may be because they do not plan to add any new programs specially made for mobile viewing, but will reschedule existing content to better suit customer needs.
