IBC 2023

According to the email that came today, IBC 2023 was an extraordinary success, setting new records and cementing its status as one of the most important events in the media and entertainment industry. Here are some key figures that caught my attention:
Global Attendance: A staggering 43,065 attendees from 170 countries descended upon the RAI in Amsterdam between September 15 and September 18, 2023. This impressive international representation is a testament to IBC's global reach and relevance.
Exhibitor Showcase: Over 1,250 exhibitors gathered to showcase their latest solutions and innovations. From cutting-edge technology to groundbreaking content, IBC 2023 was a treasure trove of industry advancements.
Remarkable Growth: The total number of attendees witnessed a remarkable 16% increase compared to the previous year. This significant growth demonstrates IBC's ability to continuously attract industry leaders, enthusiasts, and decision-makers.
For me, IBC 2023 was more than just another industry event. It marked my fourth attendance at IBC, a tradition that began back in 2015. I returned in 2018 and again in 2022, each time witnessing the event's growth and evolution. However, this year was different.
IBC 2023 was not only my fourth visit but also the first time I had the honor of representing my consulting firm, TVTechTR, on such a grand stage. It was a momentous occasion that combined 25+ years of industry experience with the excitement of showcasing to a global audience.
As I reflect on the email I received this morning, I'm struck by the magnitude of IBC 2023. The numbers paint a picture of an event that continues to grow, adapt, and thrive, despite the ever-evolving landscape of media and entertainment.
For me, personally, this year's IBC was a turning point in my professional journey. Representing TVTechTR at such a prestigious gathering was an opportunity I'll always cherish.
IBC 2023 was not just a convention; it was a celebration of innovation, a convergence of minds, and a reminder that the future of media and entertainment holds boundless possibilities. 
Here's to many more IBCs and the exciting adventures they bring!

May HD Radio be an alternative for Turkey?

There are mainly three worldwide digital radio technologies: DAB/DAB+, DRM30/DRM+ and  HD Radio™ . According to some sector professional Turkey should not even think of  HD Radio™  as an alternative for the digitization of radio. I have some doubts on that. Lets have a closer look at  HD Radio™ : Who is behind the  HD Radio™ ? IBiquity  Digital is the firm that developed the  HD Radio™  technology. Some argues that as it is a firm, not a consortium, so broadcasters should avoid choosing  HD Radio™  as the digital radio technology. It sounds a little bit ambiguous. Why should broadcasters avoid using it? Do they avoid using Windows, for their PCs? Well, it is the same actually. Microsoft is a firm, that has a product, and broadcasters, like many others are using it. So, Ibiquity Digital is a firm like Microsoft. They have an approach to digital radio, with using FM band, they can digitize the r...

Shall we not build DTT, after WRC 2015

According to the news in the web site of EBU, 470 - 694 MHz will be reserved for DTT & radio microphones not only till WRC 2019, but also till WRC 2023. At the WRC 2023, 470 - 960 MHz band will be reconsidered. It is good news for the DTT business in Europe. But is it a good news for Turkey? As you may well know, Turkey has not yet spend any money on DTT. There is no DTT network, nor a finished frequency allocation tender. Hence, we can say that there is nothing, just NOTHING regarding DTT.  So, in best circumstances, the tender for DTT frequencies can be finished by 2016 & the network would be ready by 2017. Well, the picture becomes interesting from that point. The frequency allocation would be for 10 years, which covers 2016-2026. But, during the WRC 2023, the frequency usage will be reconsidered again. It may be more meaningful to think not to build DTT at all, and start thinking to work on xG mobile networks. I would appreciate for your comment...

8th Annual Digital TV Central and Eastern Europe Event

I attended to IP & TV World Forum and TV Connect events in Istanbul, which of both was organized by Informa. Having attended to these events, I am glad to say that I will have chance to follow the Digital TV Central & Eastern Europe Event on 25-27 June at Krakow, Poland.  Actually I have to thank to Informa, for their support in attending the event.  Main topics that will be covered in the event are OTT (Over The Top) TV and Pay TV. There will be a one day event dedicated to Over The Top Television. I will try to attend this event also, which will be on 25 June. In fact I think that OTT will replace classic IPTV offers, with the increase in smart tv, connected tv sales figures, need for a set top box will diminish. Therefore, this one day event is really important for the sector professionals.  When we look at the speakers of the event, one can easily understand the importance of the event. Some of the speakers are: Ian McDonough, Senior Vice Pres...
