The
chief executive of streaming media platform Roku has told the Society
of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) that DVRs will
ultimately be replaced by on-demand streaming. http://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/techfacils/news/roku-chief-exec-sounds-death-knell-for-dvrs/5048478.article
In
his keynote address to SMPTE’s annual conference, Anthony Wood said
the DVR was going to “go away”. “The capabilities of the DVR
will next go to the cloud and then simply become an element of the
on-demand world. The
end point is where any piece of video is available in any language,
anywhere, via streaming.”
Much
of the event was dominated by debate around shooting feature film at
more than 24 frames a second. Advocates, including veteran film-maker
Doug Trumbull, believe that rates of 40fps or above yield a more
immersive viewing experience. However, the cost of changing cinema
projectors to the new format remains a concern of exhibitors.
