D2D Technologies release the D2Switch
Episode: 6-23 | Published: 08/08/2022 | Length: 10:41
About This Podcast
The reason D2D are so excited about the new D2Switch is that so many people have said to them, “You know, it would be really cool if you guys did this.”
Well, now they have! They've developed a solution that lets you switch your transport stream once it has left the station and gone “over the curve.” It’s as simple as punching a button on the switcher, and you can do it from anywhere. And you don’t even have to decode and re-encode your transport stream! It’s also a lot cheaper than solutions available on the market right now.
If you’re using SRT and the internet to send your broadcast signal to local stations across the country or around the globe, D2Switch is the perfect solution for fast, simple switching. You don’t need to spend a ton on an expensive splicer, breaking the signal out locally or at the transmitter. Instead, you can use D2Switch, which allows you to manage and automate switching through your D2Manage or D2Monitor interface.
In this interview with Jessica Colyer we find out all there is to know about the D2Switch!

Deep learning for video delivery with iSize
Episode: 4-15 | Published: 25/06/2021 | Length: 08:29
About This Podcast
Bandwidth and bit rate is something many of us have become more familiar with over the last year where we may have been relying on home internet to work with. The more bandwidth you have the better bit rate you’ll be able to stream and the better viewing experience everyone gets. But if you’re remote and maybe working with cellular or low bandwidth supply then if you don’t want to compromise your output then you need a good solution.
And how do you do this whilst at the same time making streaming more environmentally friendly, again without reducing quality? Well that is exactly what we are talking about today with Sergio from iSize where we ask why would someone use iSIZE technology to help reduce their carbon footprint and what impact bandwidth, latency & security have on streaming.

How is the recent budget going to help or hinder the TV, film & media production industry in the UK
Episode: 3-26 | Published: 19/03/2021 | Length: 15:28
About This Podcast
We speak with Paul Robson from Medialease once again to get his view on the economy and the economic recovery in general in 2021 and 2022 and what specifically it might mean for the production/ film & TV industry.
We all know the horrific levels of debt that this, and many other countries will be carrying as a result of the necessary reaction to the COVID pandemic – the numbers are £400Bn of debt for UK, so how does the country tackle this?
Businesses are most likely to settle this debt repayment in the form of higher Corporation Tax in two years and the individual is not, as yet, paying anything towards the debt – but will we?
How does it affect leasing companies like Medialease and more importantly, is there any good news in all this for our viewers? Should we invest now?

SONY FX6, and the Cinema Line camera. Experiences so far with Jake and Carl
Episode: 3-25 | Published: 19/03/2021 | Length: 37:41
About This Podcast
Today we welcome in Jake Ratcliffe from CVP & Carl Yates from ProAV. Both of whom work closely with their customers to match the camera to the customer. Daniel Listh is from SONY and is asking what experiences they have had since the Sony FX6 was released. Overshadowed recently by the launch of the FX3 it’s important to understand that nobody who purchased an FX6 wishes they'd held out for the FX3, but can the same be said for those that bought the A7SIII?
They cover ergonomics, audio, lens options and accessories and discuss what experiences they’ve had so far. And who would think that autofocus would a be a point of discussion in this industry!
Towards the end of the chat the trio even cover the yet to be released Experia PRO that is a 5G phone with a 4k screen and HDMI input. Could it possibly be a useful tool for camera operators? No prizes for working out who’s dog is barking!

Disruption, consolidation and taking risks in the Media Industry.
Episode: 3-14 | Published: 19/03/2021 | Length: 12:02
About This Podcast
Today we're talking market disruption, consolidation and taking risks with Mark Harrison from the DPP.
The DPP has recently drawn up some predictions for the media and content creation industry in 2021. The workforce in some areas are very keen to return to the physical workplace, which only helps collaboration in the creative industries, but doesn't save much money, which is tight right now!
We also see a disruptive element and risk taking becoming a necessity. Surviving the challenges of 2021 might need risk taking, but it will set you up for the future trends we expect once the media industry starts to see increased ad revenue again, and the LIVE crowd based events coming back! Although once people are allowed out, will they be consuming as much in the home?
Interesting insights from the DPP, a must watch if you're running a media industry business and there are more details available at www.kitplus.com/dpp2021

Delivering compelling and immersive, personalised experiences to viewers
Episode: 3-8 | Published: 19/03/2021 | Length: 13:32
About This Podcast
Live sports broadcast has always been a one dimensional experience. Multiple cameras capture the live event at the venue but the viewer gets to see only the view that is selected by the producer/director/vision mixer. Similarly a lot of audio is recorded but the viewer has no choice of selecting what he or she wants to hear.
Today on KitPlus TV we speak with Christof Haslauer from NativeWaves about how their solutions are being used to address the challenges broadcasters face with delivering content and we ask if there is a demand for viewer personalisation and why should service providers care?
NativeWaves provide broadcasters, OTT service providers and production companies with tools to deliver compelling and immersive, personalised experiences to their viewers by easily integrating into their existing workflows.
