IBC2024 Day2: What to expect

Day 2 is on the horizon, and will certainly set a furious pace from the off, with IBC Technical Paper presentations, the full conference programme and the Innovation stage, to name but a few…

IBC Technical Papers

 The IBC Technical Papers presentation starts at 11:00 in Conference Room 2, exclusively for Delegate badge holders, the day starts with BBC R&D and lead author John Simmons presenting the session, “Provenance – what can we trust?” With papers providing an extraordinarily thorough walk through of the recently standardised Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA) security and trust system; and reporting on trials undertaken by the BBC and the Media Cluster, Norway to implement C2PA, including how best to communicate that provenance information to the viewer.

IBC Conference

In the Delegate Lounge at 13:00, exclusive to Delegate badge holders, Maria Rua Aguete at Omdia will explore “Media & Entertainment key themes and trends”, revealing how the market is set to exceed $1 trillion in 2024.

At 14:00, listen to Andy Hood at WPP and WIRED’s Jeremy White in the Keynote Fireside Chat: “At the intersection of AI and creativity: Why the future lies in Human-Machine Collaboration,” on the opportunities and threats posed by AI and using this to a creative advantage.

Innovation Stage

Hall 3 kicks off at 10:00 with the free-to-attend sessions, opening with “Orchestrated 5G Live Media Production: Latest experiences from the cutting edge” where RTL, Deutsche Telekom, and Sony will demo their deployment of a 5G ecosystem for live production at several high-profile events in the summer.

At 10:45 the Accelerator sessions begin with “Accelerator session - Connecting Live Performances of the Future with ULL-AVLM” where developing a solution for delivering all data between venues is the focus.

IBC2024 Day1: Live now AI in Production – training and targeting

AI in Production – training and targeting - Conference 2 

In this session, three authors present their work on the application of AI to media production. Our first paper from the EBU describes a facial recognition machine learning system that has been tailored to the specific needs of media documentalists. It seeks to only identify “active” and not incidental characters, assisting in compliance with privacy regulations. Our second paper, from NHK, presents a solution to the over-training problem when applying machine learning to multi-label indexing of news items, this is especially important for infrequently classified events. It provides good performance and has been trialled, with the authors also acknowledging its limitations. Our final paper, from Viaccess-Orca, looks to a future where Generative AI is used to adapt advertising based on characteristics / beliefs that have been gleaned of the target. Used in a closed loop, the Generative AI can test, score and adapt the media to maximise its impact!
