Tres cool. Check out Orange Telecom's Private 5G connectivity for Olympic venues. For broadcasters this Private 5G network will provide "high-speed, low-latency infrastructure that will facilitate the transmission of high-definition footage in near real-time." Come on Canada, let's get going with Private LTE/5G adoption!

On Friday, the 14th of June 2024, not only did the German team achieve a dream start in the 2024 European Championship, but RTL also impressed with a groundbreaking innovation. As the first German television broadcaster, RTL successfully conducted live broadcasts using #Telekom's #5G standalone network, setting new standards in the industry. Through close collaboration with Telekom and the use of a dedicated 5G campus network, #RTL revolutionized their coverage of the opening match in Munich. Live reports from journalists over the 5G network delivered top-notch audio and video quality directly from the Allianz Arena to news broadcasts on n-tv and RTL's main news program, "RTL Aktuell." This technological innovation enables RTL to work more efficiently and flexibly, as they no longer rely on traditional satellite transmissions. Instead, they use the 5G standalone network, which provides stable and high-quality transmissions. As a member of the #magentabusinessapis team, I am particularly proud of this achievement. This is just the beginning: the Magenta Business API will enable many more innovative applications in the future. Whether in industry, logistics, or other sectors, the possibilities are limitless and will open up numerous new business opportunities and efficiency improvements. Stay tuned for more pioneering innovations from the Magenta Business API team! #EuropeanChampionship #API #Network #Telekom #MACE https://lnkd.in/eqpUeM4z

Another reason #euro2024 should be a fun watch – 5G will be involved! Broadcaster RTL Deutschland and Deutsche Telekom are working together to use 5G services via a private 5G network to deliver “data-intensive applications” with the network running in the 3.7GHz to 3.8GHz range and offering up to 100MHz of bandwidth to the broadcaster. Great to see innovation being driven by events in the market to actually test use cases and push barriers rather than there merely being a lot of talk about how great private networks could be. #connectivity #networks #privatenetworks #private5g #investment #innovation #mnos #Germany #2g #3g #4g #5g #business #enterprise #growth #mobile #mobilenetworks #telecoms #telecommunications #technology #stadiums #sport #football https://lnkd.in/e_QH3wPi

The worlds of professional audio visual #proav and media and entertainment have definitively overlapped, at least in technology terms, in a message underlined at #ise2024. The overlap is being called ‘AV Broadcast’ and it is growing twice as fast as traditional media tech (at 2.9% CAGR versus 1.8% between now and 2027), according to research released at the show in a telling collaboration with IABM https://lnkd.in/eHVNkmkG #avtweeps #ibc365 #avbroadcast #ISE2024 #ISE20Years Integrated Systems Europe (ISE)

❌ No 4k The upcoming #Euro2024 marks a departure from previous major sporting events, as it won't be broadcast in 4K Ultra-High Definition. --- Before we start: If there's anyone I'd recommend you follow, it's Steve McCaskill from SportsPro. When he writes something, it brings value. ➡ Here, I'd like to share some insights I've gleaned from Steve's article: "Why the absence of 4K UHD shows Euro 2024’s broadcast innovation will come from content, not tech." I'll drop a link in the comments. --- No 4k. ⭕ This absence of cutting-edge picture quality is noteworthy, especially considering that past World Cups and European Championships have been platforms for showcasing new broadcast technologies. ◾ Economic Factors: The decision ❌ not to broadcast in 4K UHD reflects the financial realities of the media landscape. Producing live 4K content is costly, requiring new #equipment and #infrastructure upgrades. Additionally, viewers need compatible devices and sufficient #internet connectivity for #streaming. These factors make 4K broadcasting less appealing, especially for free-to-air public service broadcasters (PSBs). ◾Consumer preferences Many viewers may ��� NOT perceive a substantial difference between HD and 4K and they may be unwilling to pay a #premium for higher picture quality. Moreover, the increasing popularity of streaming on mobile devices further diminishes the demand for 4K on larger screens. ◾ The absence of 4K doesn't mean a lack of innovation. Broadcasters are focusing on enhancing the viewing experience through #content creation and cost-effective technologies. Expect to see data-driven graphics, cinematic camera angles and potentially visualization technologies. ⭕ The key question is whether the absence of 4K will significantly impact viewer engagement and satisfaction. ✅ Content & Experience > Quality ☑ The hypothesis is that while some tech enthusiasts might be disappointed, the majority of viewers will prioritize the #content and overall viewing experience over picture quality. 📺 TV Sales The lack of a new technology to promote might affect television sales, which are already under pressure due to the cost-of-living crisis. Retailers might need to adjust their marketing strategies accordingly. 🎥 Future of 4K While 4K might not be the focus for Euro 2024, it doesn't mean it's the end of the road. The industry continues to develop 8K technology, and 4K could become more prevalent in the future as costs decrease and consumer demand increases.

In 1985, Joshua Meyrowitz's book "No Sense of Place" explored how electronic media, particularly television, dismantles the boundaries in physical and social spaces. This is especially true with the Olympics, which transform a city into a global stage. Millions tune in, experiencing the host city through mediated images rather than firsthand interactions. 5G technologies amplify this "no sense of place", blurring the lines between physical locations and the social experiences. We can be miles away yet feel virtually embedded in the stadium, or even alongside the athletes. The proliferation of cameras and sensors, coupled with 5G's high bandwidth, allows viewers to choose their own perspectives. We can watch events from any angle available, follow individual athletes. This level of individual control alters the traditional ways that define live events. While this personalization is exciting, offering a democratized VIP experience, the sheer volume of content could be overwhelming, even with dedicated 5G networks. Broadcast can play a crucial role in democratizing access to the vast array of channels and perspectives available during major events like the Olympics, creating a truly optimal live event experience for all.
