Introduction Introduction Introduction Introduction

Networked Media

Numerous electronic devices are connected to a network, and media files are accessed from anywhere via the network

Europe is well placed in the worldwide race to develop the networks and service infrastructures of the future.

Current SituationCurrent Situation Current SituationCurrent Situation

• Centralized content creation in professional production houses

• Static AV delivery (prescheduled broadcasts)• “Few to many” mode content delivery • TV guide the most widespread tool for AV content

Technical Challenges (1)Technical Challenges (1)Technical Challenges (1)Technical Challenges (1)

• User centric content creation and consumption – Each device can be content source

• E.g. home appliances (sensor, IP camera, fridge) – (Mobile) multiview and content consumption

• Diversity in terms of – Types (encoding, formatting) – Quality

• Content adaptation – Seamless flow of content from one device to another – E.g. from PC, to STB (Set Top Box), to mobile phone

• Network infrastructure – Interoperable infrastructure for seamless multimedia

networking

Technical Challenges (2)Technical Challenges (2)Technical Challenges (2)Technical Challenges (2)

• Content Annotation – Advanced and standardized metadata

– Indexing, cataloguing

• Content Searching – Intelligent searching

– E.g. using NLP (Natural Language Processing)

• Invisible technology – Limited user intervention
