New Video Business Online: new title for next-generation digital TV
10 February 2006New Video Business Online - a new online title from Digital Media Publishing Ltd (DMP) - is now live at www.newvideobusiness.com. The website and accompanying newsletter will provide high-quality technology reporting on the access networks, headend and network equipment, middleware, content protection, customer premise equipment and standards (among other things) that will drive the next phase in digital TV evolution.
New Video Business will cover the cable, satellite, IPTV, terrestrial wireless, mobile and broadband TV (unmanaged Internet) markets. It will have a specific focus on video service delivery. Multiple access networks will be covered (HFC, DSL, FTTH, satellite, 3G, DVB-H, DAB/DMB, FLO, DTT, WiMAX, WiFi, for example) together with all key stages of video delivery: contribution/backhaul, aggregation/playout, distribution, transport, transmission/delivery and reception - whether mobile or in the home.
New Video Business will also follow the extension of the video delivery chain from the home gateway device onto home video networks and beyond onto trusted mobile devices and even into peer-to-peer distribution on Consumer Electronics devices. The title will also follow the proliferation of digital TV platforms used to reach consumers in the first place, including the continued development of IPTV, mobile and public broadband Internet.
New Video Business will monitor the strategies of satellite operators as they seek to introduce VOD and full triple-play services, and the growth of content-on-demand across all networks. It will report on how established Pay TV operators can adapt their existing core delivery platforms, whether satellite or HFC, for example, to address perceived weaknesses in their overall service offer.
Advanced video services including HDTV, Digital Video Recorder, network-DVR (Replay-TV) and multi-room will all feature highly in the new title?s editorial coverage. So too will the content protection solutions (and standards) needed to support a range of new business models including super-distribution.
With large media organisations becoming increasingly network-agnostic, New Video Business will report on the development of hybrid access network and multiple network architectures and the technology challenges they present. The new title will be edited by John Moulding.
