IBC Accelerators Media Innovation Programme
The IBC Accelerator Media Innovation Programme showcased proof of concepts over four days in Amsterdam last month. These projects aim to solve complex media and entertainment business and technology challenges, providing a framework for agile, collaborative, and fast-track innovation. The video clip illustrates the Digital Replicas and Talent ID project.
XR and adjacent technologies were key to several projects: Evolution of the Control Room applied XR and natural language control to a real-time production environment. Connect and Produce Anywhere, Phase IIexplored edge-first computing for live remote audio/video contribution. The AI Media Production Lab studied improving creativity and efficiency in production workflows, stamping out bias and AI hallucinations to embrace audience sentiments in content development, and exploring predictive video workflows in sports production.
