Episode 128 of the All Things TechIE Podcast recorded live in Amsterdam at IBC 2025 with host Justin Dawson and guest Tim Albright! We sat down on day two of the conference in the Hall 14 podcasting studio to tackle the massive trends disrupting the media and entertainment industry.
We dive deep into the accelerating overlap between broadcast technology, professional AV technology, and IT.
Learn about the incredible advancements in AI-powered closed captioning and instant audio transcription demonstrated at the show. This technology brings total accessibility and personalised translation systems to users.
Hear about the value of the Accelerator Zone in Hall 14. These programs give innovators space to show off ideas, receive market feedback, and serve as a fantastic benefit to the entire industry—potentially even serving as PhD projects for universities.
We discuss the ethics of generative AI and the need for authenticity verification (like digital watermarks) to ensure video content has not been AI-generated. We also reflect on the rapid increase in content consumption and the dangers of quick judgment based on sensational, partial clips.
We look at how technology has drastically changed the industry (comparing a $20,000 camera from 35 years ago to a modern smartphone). We also analyse disruptive content models, including the rise of "watch parties," the future of TV licensing in Europe, and the evolution of sports broadcasting like the NFL's potential move to direct-to-consumer models.
Whether you're interested in the changing face of control rooms moving to the cloud, or the small gadgets used by professionals shooting solo, Episode 128 is packed with insights from the IBC2025 floor!
