  • The challenges for social media integration

    Submitted by Pixel Power on 18th February 2015

    If social media is to have any value for the programme then it must be immediate. No-one is interested in what someone things about an event ten minutes ago.

  • Sometimes Less is More

    Submitted by Pixel Power on 3rd October 2014

    As a developer it can be hard to know when you have done enough. It almost easier to keep adding new features and functions than it is to compile the code and step away from the keyboard.

  • What’s the real role of the modern broadcast manufacturer?

    Business requirements

    Submitted by Pixel Power on 13th May 2014

    At the risk of being accused of donning my rose-tinted glasses, I think we can safely say that the role of broadcast manufacturers in the sales and installation process has changed. Once upon a time, a manufacturer sold a box, provided a bit of advice and support during installation, and then was expected to leave.

    Submitted by Pixel Power on 30th September 2013

    I fear that madness may have descended upon the connected TV market. Why? Well, in two ways. Let’s step back to the days before so many devices “benefited” from internet connectivity.  From the early 90s – pioneered in the US by cable operators and set-top box manufacturers – two-way connectivity to allow on-demand content access and this has been a motivating goal for many in the industry.

    Submitted by Pixel Power on 19th September 2013

    Spend a few days at an event like IBC and it is hard to not be dazzled by all the new and shiny tech. 1500 vendors are packed into one place, all vying for the attention of attendees, journalists, award voters and, of course, buyers.
