We’re all going mobile with our viewing! We demand quality video content not just at home but while we’re out and about, catching the train or on our way to our next meeting – but internet connectivity is still playing catch-up.
Today, over 60% of smartphone users watch video content on their mobile devices, but suitable fibre penetration is far from reaching all screens – even in Europe, 46% of households are forecast to have insufficient infrastructure to watch video services in 2026.
With even developed countries lacking the infrastructure to deliver dedicated connectivity to all their citizens, it seems like unrestricted mobile viewing may be a distant dream – until today.
Introducing DVB-NIP – a new era of broadcasting
Recognising the unique challenge for service providers faced with local internet limitations when trying to deliver high-quality OTT content, DVB-NIP is redefining the future of video broadcasting.
DVB-NIP is the new standard which allows the distribution of IP native mABR content (the format used by OTT and targeting handheld devices and SmartTVs) through broadcast channels, like satellite.
Combining the flexibility of OTT and second screens, with the reliability, reach and quality ensured by broadcast channels, DVB-NIP is set to change our expectations for audiovisual content delivery.
At IBC 2023, we’ve teamed up with industry players including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Broadpeak, DVB, EasyBroadcast, EKT, Enensys, Inverto, Quadrille and ST Engineering, to showcase the DVB-NIP solution, integrating video distribution with production and distribution workflows deployed over the AWS cloud.
See it in action at IBC
Uninterrupted video content available anytime, anywhere without a loss of quality may sound too good to be true – but if seeing is believing, you’ll want to attend this year’s IBC. Here’s a couple of the use cases we’ll be demonstrating:
Next-gen. DTH services
Why settle for one when you can use the best of both worlds with DVB-NIP? We’ll demonstrate how broadcasters can combine the flexibility of OTT and second screens with the reliability, reach and quality ensured by broadcast channels for a new breed of TV shows, sports, news, videos and entertainment.
By including OTT content with linear TV delivery, broadcasters can differentiate their offer in a highly competitive market. Eutelsat, Broadpeak, EKT and Amazon Web Services will be hosting a live demonstration of this game-changing technology. Through specific, real-time examples, we’ll show how satellite technology and the cloud can work together to make video and TV better.
We look forward to welcoming you
Step into the new world of broadcasting at IBC 2023! Our demos will bring to light the powerful synergy between satellite and cloud. Incoming video contributions, whether direct from the cloud or via satellite IP links, are efficiently managed. And while traditional DTH distribution remains a viable option, DVB-NIP is set to revolutionise how we consume content.
At IBC 2023, we’ll be showing how DVB-NIP is the embodiment of blending satellite robustness with cloud flexibility. A future where high-quality content, be it Ultra HD or standard broadcasting, reaches viewers without the limitations of terrestrial networks is just around the corner.
At Eutelsat, we believe that this is more than innovation; it’s a broadcasting revolution, and we’re thrilled to lead the charge.
