this year at IBC...

I have been blogging since 2004, in Turkish about many: books, travel, cooking and also radio & television technology. As you may guess the most viewed posts I made are the cooking & travel ones. Radio & television are the main, may be nowadays were the main, way of entertainment for all. But the technology behind radio & tv are not the hot topic for all. 
In 2013 I decided to post in English on radio & television technology in Turkey. My main goal was to become a reference blog for the radio & TV industry in Turkey. I know that there are not many sources for information on what is going on in Turkey about the digital transition in radio & TV. I tried to share my knowledge, actually the open sources of information which are mainly in Turkish, to the professionals all over the world. By that I dreamed that one day I would be accredited as PRESS to the important events of broadcasting. 
In 2013, I managed to attend three conferences, in London, in Krakow and in Tallinn. I paid the expenses on my own, except the hotel in Tallinn. It was very helpful for me to have a network of professionals in broadcast industry. In 2014, I was in Paris with my family so did not have chance to do anything but taking care of our twins. 
and now, I am proud to announce that as the writer of the TVTechTR, I am accredited as PRESS for the IBC 2015. I am really excited for this as it will be the first time in my life to attend IBC. I have been working in broadcasting for more than 15 years but could not find a chance to attend this important event ever.  
That's why I will be working hard on the program of the conference and the technologies which will be demonstrated during the event. It is just 5 days and I learned that the exhibition hall is quite large. So I want to make a good planning before IBC. I will try to post during the event, but I hope to post detailed covarage after the event as a serial. 
I would thank to the distinguished professionals who accepted the e-interviews I made during last weeks, Mr. Patrick Hannon, Ms. Ruxandra Obreja and Dr. Peter Siebert. I believe if they did not accept my e-interview offer, IBC would not accept my application as PRESS.

Disguise and Cuebric Launch AI-Driven Content Generator for Virtual Production

Disguise  — a world leader in virtual production technology used for  Top Gun: Maverick ,  The Joker  and more — has partnered with AI platform  Cuebric  to make virtual environments faster, easier and more cost-effective to build than ever before.  As part of the partnership, Cuebric has been integrated with the Disguise platform. This means creatives can now use AI to create the shape and depth of 2.5D environments, then import them into Disguise.

Using generative AI,...

May HD Radio be an alternative for Turkey?

There are mainly three worldwide digital radio technologies: DAB/DAB+, DRM30/DRM+ and  HD Radio™ . According to some sector professional Turkey should not even think of  HD Radio™  as an alternative for the digitization of radio. I have some doubts on that. Lets have a closer look at  HD Radio™ : Who is behind the  HD Radio™ ? IBiquity  Digital is the firm that developed the  HD Radio™  technology. Some argues that as it is a firm, not a consortium, so broadcasters should avoid choosing  HD Radio™  as the digital radio technology. It sounds a little bit ambiguous. Why should broadcasters avoid using it? Do they avoid using Windows, for their PCs? Well, it is the same actually. Microsoft is a firm, that has a product, and broadcasters, like many others are using it. So, Ibiquity Digital is a firm like Microsoft. They have an approach to digital radio, with using FM band, they can digitize the r...
