Shortlist revealed for IBC2021 Innovation Awards

July 29, 2021 09.49 Europe/London By Broadband TV News Correspondent

Fourteen new projects have made it onto the shortlist for the IBC2021 Innovation Awards, the organisation has announced.

This year’s awards will “celebrate the spirit of collaboration within the content and technology industry”. The winners and their technology partners will be honoured at an awards ceremony in Amsterdam at this year’s later IBC that will be held between December 3 and 6, 2021.

Dick Hobbs, Chair of the IBC Innovation Awards Jury, said: “This year’s finalists submitted awe-inspiring projects, many of which had the primary purpose of creating a sense of togetherness despite global circumstances keeping many of us physically apart. The content and technology industry ensured we remained connected by providing coverage of our favourite sports teams with new interactive features and streaming major live events”

The Content Creation shortlist is:

  • Netflix for creating the first-ever hand-drawn anime with experimental 4k and HDR.
  • RRN and Riedel for producing the first fully decentralised production of a live, global music event.
  • Songbird, which was the first American feature film to return to production during the covid lockdown using camera to cloud technology.
  • Timeline Television for its remote broadcast app Stream Anywhere which helped major UK broadcasters’ production teams film remotely from a range of locations.

There are five on the shortlist for the Content Distribution category:

  • Boeing live-streamed the Starliner’s return from orbit in HD broadcast quality, with sub-one second latency from a remote desert location for NASA TV.
  • BT Sport delivered fully remote coverage of the 2021 UEFA Europa League Final from Poland in 4k HDR and Dolby Atmos sound.
  • MGM Studios launched a new blockchain-backed platform with Eluvio that provides a more efficient, secure and cost-effective way to deliver ultra-low latency video.
  • Migo created an entirely new way to deliver digital content in countries that lack a widespread broadband infrastructure.
  • Riot Games was the first organisation in the world to use JPEG XS compression for two major trans-Atlantic esports tournaments.

The shortlist for the Content Everywhere category also sees five projects honoured:

  • BT Sport developed new technologies to recreate the match day experience for live sports fans watching their favourite teams at home.
  • Deutsche Fußball Liga enhanced the Bundesliga world feed with an interactive service, allowing each user to follow the matches, teams and players that interest them the most, and enabling them to personalise their user experience with detailed graphics and data.
  • In The Room used AI and exclusive Ultra HD content for consumers to interact “face-to-face” with personalities like Nile Rodgers.
  • Mediapro was shortlisted for the rapid growth of Ubeat, its free esports and entertainment multiplatform.
  • Sky Sports and SimplyLive for their remote production partnership, which created and delivered a true cloud-based, multicamera production environment and also has a positive environmental impact.

Other presentations at the IBC2021 Innovation Awards include the best technical paper in the conference and a winner from the IBC Accelerator Project, designed to create collaboration for cutting-edge innovation.
