IBC is delighted to announce that submissions for its prestigious Technical Papers &
Posters have now opened.

The rigorously peer-reviewed Technical Papers are one of the most important parts
of the IBC Conference and, over the years, have showcased some of the most
visionary thinking in the industry. They habitually unveil some of the very latest
technological innovations and thinking from the leading broadcasters and research
institutes around the world, giving them a platform to speak to the global
community of influencers and C-level delegates that comprise the IBC Conference
audience.

Proposals for the IBC2016 Technical Papers and Posters should be a written
synopsis of roughly 300 words. IBC’s Technical Papers Committee reviews all
proposals and, if selected, these are then worked up to full papers suitable for
publication and presentation at IBC2016 in September.

Technical Posters are selected alongside the Technical Papers and will be on display
at IBC2016 for all attendees to view at the IBC Future Zone.

Competition to feature at the IBC Conference is fierce, and is amplified by the
contest to win the IBC Best Conference Paper Award. This is presented to the paper
which both advances the industry’s knowledge and does so in the most clear and
informative way. In 2015, the award went to Andrew Cotton and Tim Borer of BBC
Research & Development for their paper ‘A Display Independent High Dynamic
Range Television System’. Previous winners also include: Italy’s RAI; SAM;
Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute; NHK; and NDS.

“The IBC Technical Papers & Posters are unique as they stand and fall purely on
their technical merit alone,’ comments Michael Lumley, Chair of the Technical
Papers Committee. “There is no marketing spin, no commercial pressure, just some
of the brightest minds and keenest technologies competing for those prestigious few
slots in the IBC Conference Programme. As ever, the committee is excited to see
how our entrants will challenge conventional orthodoxy and bring exciting fresh
insights into the industry’s premier global forum for examining new
technologies.’
