Tuesday Adds Value to IBC
One of the most unique things about IBC is that its free, Added Value conference stream is as rigorously peer-reviewed and relevant to the industry as the rest of the conference. Nowhere is this more evident than on Tuesday 13 September, where three far-reaching morning sessions delve into some of the most important issues facing the industry in 2010. These cover developments in D-cinema, the case for adopting 1Gbps broadband for domestic consumers, and a two part session organised by the EBU that summarises all the hottest topics at the show – including everything from the future of digital radio to how far away 1080p/50, 60 is from mainstream production.
Visit The Production Village
The Production Village in Hall 11 is the place to visit if you want hands-on experience with the latest cameras and camera accessories. 3D Rigs are understandably popular this year with models on show from several manufacturers including StereoTec and PIIX 3, while Panasonic have also committed to showing a range of their latest equipment. The free Training Programme is also in place, covering everything from shooting on a DSLR to managing batteries on location. These are popular sessions, so book your place now to reserve your seat.

Training in the Post Production Zone
While we can’t promise to turn you into a Toy Story animator at the show, we can offer some excellent free showfloor demonstration sessions in post production techniques in Hall 7 – at the centre of the post community in the RAI. The Post Production Zone was first launched last year and was a stunning success, with hundreds of IBC visitors attending demonstrations featuring the cutting edge products that drive the post production industry. Registration opens on Tuesday next week.
Manufacturers on the Big Screen
One of the biggest advantages to having a giant cinema screen at the centre of the RAI is that manufacturers in the D-cinema space can actually show their products off to their very best advantage. Whether it be in the field of cameras, projectors or post production, over the years many companies have used the IBC Big Screen to demonstrate new techniques that have changed the face of the industry. ARRI and Assimilate are amongst those that have confirmed demonstration slots for this year, with more to follow.
