AN EDITORIAL Deputy Editor Shawn Liew Contributing Editor Millette Manalo-Burgos Reporter Kamarul Arifin A Hafiz SUPPLEMENT A handy guide to innovative solutions Slow and steady wins the race. While this may be true decades ago, it is no longer so today. This adage is dead as the dodo in our modern world of instant coffee, instant noodles — and, now, instant news. PRODUCTION Production Editor Zuraini Ridzwan Multimedia Designer Raymund Jaudian Ad/Office Administrator Irene Lok Accounts Executive Tan Hui Min Manufacturers and providers of broadcast and telecommunications solutions are indeed racing ahead at top speed to come up with new solutions to facilitate the migration of existing legacy infrastructures to IP-based workflows. And the key concerns heard along the corridors of many TV stations and production houses nowadays are whether IP-based equipment/solutions are robust, secure, cost-efficient and scalable? MARKETING Manager - Sales & Marketing Sean Chen Manager - Sales & Marketing Lynn Chee The feedback from APB’s team who paced the halls talking to media professionals and exhibitors during the 2015 NAB Show in Las Vegas, USA, confirms that broadcasters are taking a serious interest in IP-based workflows as well as best-of-breed equipment that are portable and easy to assemble for field work — and, of course, intuitive edit and shared storage solutions.

This handy guide highlights more than 20 companies displaying and demonstrating their solutions in the halls at Marina Bay Sands, the venue of Asia’s premier broadcast/ telecommunications show. Products on show range from powerful compact zoom lenses, light but robust tripods and ‘smart’ rail camera systems to versatile edit systems, portable test equipment, advanced audio and video systems, storage and network connectivity in one chassis and augmented reality virtual studios. Last but not least, as social media is becoming part and parcel of TV news broadcast — sometimes attracting almost instant posts and blogs from viewers — APB has also included a contribution by Tony Shepherd of SocialNewsDesk on how TV stations can better manage their social feeds. The software-based solution, developed by news producers for news producers, can help a station to secure its brand and create opportunities to generate sponsorship revenue too. Our mission, as always, is to provide you with ‘news you can use’ … and we hope you find the articles interesting and useful in your visit to BroadcastAsia2015 and CommunicAsia2015. Happy hunting!
