e-interview with CuttingRoom

Q1. Could you kindly provide a succinct overview of your company and the solutions showcased during IBC 2023? 

With our cloud-based video editor, we make the process of capturing, editing, and publishing content seamless. CuttingRoom lets you capture content directly from live streams, our iPhone app, or any of your connected cloud sources, and collaborate in real-time when editing. Our many integrations make it quick and easy to upload footage from your external cloud servers and publish content directly to your favorite media platforms. We aim for our solution to be powerful & professional yet easy & intuitive,  and we pride ourselves on getting feedback from our many customers on just that.

Q2. Among the solutions presented at your booth, could you specify which one garnered the most visitor attention, and could you offer insights into the factors contributing to its appeal?

CuttingRoom won the TVBEurope Best In Show At IBC 2023 Award for our solution. We saw that people visiting us at IBC had primarily three problems to solve, bring down cost and complexity, bring up the speed and effectiveness, and turn video production collaborative and remote enabled. We also showed our new mobile app that adds the capability to bring in content from the field quickly and easily, which caught a lot of attention at the exhibit.

Q3. Does your company currently engage in any business activities within the Turkish market? If you can share, could you provide some insight into your plans for expanding your business in Turkey?

We are grateful for our customers in the Turkish market. We see it as an important market, and one we would like to expand even further in the year to come.

Q4. Is there any additional information or insights you would like to share regarding your company or your participation in IBC 2023?

Since CuttingRoom is a SaaS solution with many pre-integrations to cloud storage and cloud MAM systems, it is very easy to get started. You don't need to set up a large project for it to go into production.

Mr. Helge Høibraaten, co-founder of CuttingRoom,  thank you very much for your answers and hope to meet you in other events or in Turkey.

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...

Shall we not build DTT, after WRC 2015

According to the news in the web site of EBU, 470 - 694 MHz will be reserved for DTT & radio microphones not only till WRC 2019, but also till WRC 2023. At the WRC 2023, 470 - 960 MHz band will be reconsidered. It is good news for the DTT business in Europe. But is it a good news for Turkey? As you may well know, Turkey has not yet spend any money on DTT. There is no DTT network, nor a finished frequency allocation tender. Hence, we can say that there is nothing, just NOTHING regarding DTT.  So, in best circumstances, the tender for DTT frequencies can be finished by 2016 & the network would be ready by 2017. Well, the picture becomes interesting from that point. The frequency allocation would be for 10 years, which covers 2016-2026. But, during the WRC 2023, the frequency usage will be reconsidered again. It may be more meaningful to think not to build DTT at all, and start thinking to work on xG mobile networks. I would appreciate for your comment...

8th Annual Digital TV Central and Eastern Europe Event

I attended to IP & TV World Forum and TV Connect events in Istanbul, which of both was organized by Informa. Having attended to these events, I am glad to say that I will have chance to follow the Digital TV Central & Eastern Europe Event on 25-27 June at Krakow, Poland.  Actually I have to thank to Informa, for their support in attending the event.  Main topics that will be covered in the event are OTT (Over The Top) TV and Pay TV. There will be a one day event dedicated to Over The Top Television. I will try to attend this event also, which will be on 25 June. In fact I think that OTT will replace classic IPTV offers, with the increase in smart tv, connected tv sales figures, need for a set top box will diminish. Therefore, this one day event is really important for the sector professionals.  When we look at the speakers of the event, one can easily understand the importance of the event. Some of the speakers are: Ian McDonough, Senior Vice Pres...
