Five Questions: The State of the Broadcast Industry We ask the same five questions of key broadcast industry equipment providers By Charlie White

What's the state of the broadcast industry today? We asked key broadcast product vendors the same five specific questions about their products, customers and growth areas they see for their companies and the broadcast industry in general.  We now simultaineously publish the answers of all the companies that responded to our query, in hopes of giving you a good idea of the issues on the minds of broadcast equipment suppliers circa late 2006.

Here are the questions we asked the vendors:
1. Tell us why your biggest-selling product is so successful.
2. What do you hear your customers characterizing as their major problem that's solved by your products?
3. What do you see as the next growth area for the broadcast industry?
4. What's the biggest growth area for your company in particular?
5. How do you view the current state of HD conversion industry-wide? Is it a done deal or do we have a ways to go, and what's your company doing to assist in that switch?

Here are their responses:
Avid Technology
Grass Valley
Harris Corporation
Panasonic Broadcast
Quantel
Autodesk Media & Entertainment
AJA Video Systems

Content Insider #148 - The iGen
NO...Doesn't have a thing to do with "that" smartphone...or "that" store...or "that" tablet. It's the next generation. Kids and we mean little kids. That's what today's products are being designed for/targeted at. You happen to buy one...fine. Watch a little, little kid pick up a smartphone. He/she just uses it. They've come pre-wired and we're still trying to figure out how to IM. It's the IGen. They want it instantly. They want to use it instantly. They expect their photos, their video, their music, their stuff immediately when/where/how they want it. Read More

Insider #149 - Game Demographics
The blood, gore, adrenalin challenges that were unveiled at E3 and enjoyed at ComicCon are fun to look at, easy to hold but are they really the games people want to plunk down their credit cards to own or rent time with? Seems as though the investors, the players who control the controllers have a different idea of a "good" game than the kids who develop them. While mobs of people play educational, informational, stimulating games our kid huddles in his room and mumbles "The Few, The Proud, The Gamers." Read More
