PL+S Frankfurt puts focus on digital media networking
- Details
The focus is on network-based processes that will permanently change the industry in the coming years: from remote production to device-independent workflows and on-demand infrastructures. In addition, the Kamera Hub will celebrate its premiere at Prolight+Sound. It is a central contact point for TV cameramen, presenting innovations in moving image production in specialised exhibitions and inviting visitors to talks and workshops.
To realise the new special areas, Prolight+Sound is cooperating intensively with partners from the industry. The Future Walk is being created under the professional direction of MakePro X, supplier of high-performance control consoles for media technology in the network age. Other partners and exhibitors in the area include key players and specialised suppliers such as ARRI, Broadcast Partners, Nebucast, Netorium, On Hertz, Panasonic, Teltec, Troikatronix, Universe and Zoom. The German Association of Camera Operators (BVFK) is responsible for the Kamera Hub.
Covering more than 250 square metres, Future Walk offers five different stations where visitors can experience the systems distributed in the network in action. In addition, cross-system and cooperative networking will be demonstrated at all stations: The participating companies will make their components available directly via the network and provide in-depth insights into the functions, workflows and advantages of their solutions.
The solutions presented at the various stations culminate in the “Future Walk Livestream”. It is produced by Nebucast, partner of the Future Walk, in a ‘transparent studio’ and is accessible on the web during the event. Every day, relevant content such as demos, interviews, performances and technological deep dives can be experienced here. In addition, visitors to Prolight+Sound can be present during the production of the stream, look over the team's shoulder and gather inspiration for innovative video applications.
