The International Broadcasting Convention (IBC) 2023 in Amsterdam, once again, proved to be a hotspot for groundbreaking developments in broadcasting and live streaming.
As one of the industry's most experienced players, JACKSHOOT attended with a mission to uphold our core principles of reliability and innovation.
Here’s what our founder,?Simon Haywood, particularly loved about?#ibc2023:
"It was like being a kid at Christmas all over again.?The MASSIVE pile of kit on display?with utterly NEXT LEVEL tech was truly exciting.
Spending four days with so many familiar and new faces all talking 'broadcast tech' was my idea of heaven!"

These technologies promise to redefine the boundaries of what's possible in live streaming, aligning perfectly with JACKSHOOT's commitment to pushing the industry's standards.
2. Robust solutions for matrix switching
For JACKSHOOT, reliability is paramount, especially when managing critical global broadcasts for our clients, such as The Royal Family & BAFTA events.
IBC 2023 did not disappoint in this regard, with exhibitors presenting robust solutions for not only matrix switching but also signal processing and audio patching, all within a single chassis.
These systems enable seamless routing of video and audio signals, ensuring that broadcasts can switch between sources without a hitch.
3. Multiview platforms for enhanced control
Multiview platforms were another focal point at IBC 2023 for us, providing the ability to have a comprehensive view of all baseband & IP operations.
These platforms provide real-time monitoring and control over multiple sources, enhancing efficiency and reducing the risk of errors during live broadcasts.
For a company like JACKSHOOT that lives by the mantra, "failure is simply not an option," this technology is as vital as it gets.
4. Real-world applications of AI
Artificial intelligence (AI) made significant strides at the conference, with practical applications for the broadcasting industry taking centre stage.
AI-powered content analysis and rapid cut-down editing based on the time the viewer has available to consume the content are becoming increasingly sophisticated, allowing broadcasters to personalise viewer experiences and optimize content delivery like never before.
JACKSHOOT recognizes the potential of AI in enhancing its services and keeping up with evolving viewer expectations.
5. Sustainability initiatives
As a responsible industry player, JACKSHOOT keeps an eye on sustainability trends.
IBC 2023 featured eco-friendly broadcasting practices and showcased products designed to reduce the environmental impact of outside broadcasting equipment.
