Cooperative Aspects of Cable and Satellite

Co-Chanmen Peter Kahl, D

Thad Mazurczyk, USA

Cable and satellite video delivery have a unique relationship Both are important to bring programmingto consumers In some cases, they are competitors In other cases they are cooperative in order to

ensure widespread distribution However, neither could exist without the other Cable depends on

satellite delivery to headends DBS depends on the availability of programming developed for cable

There are many technical commonalities This session will focus on the cooperative aspects of this

important video relationship

Digital DBS: Threats and Opportunities

Chairman: Pierre Meyrat, L

Vice-Chairman. John Forrest, U.K

With the first digital services in Europe already on the air and with consumer equipment manufactur¬ers gearing up for mass production of first generation digital receivers, what lessons have been learnedfor the second generation product? To what extent might the consumer profit from further harmom-sation of standards and encryption methods? How can the existing multimedia world benefit from theopportunities offered by direct satellite reception?

Digital Video Compression and Transmission on Cable

Chairman Ludwig Stenger, DVice Chairman Jose Luis Tejerma E

Digital Video Compression involves the tradeoff between the quality of the video and bit rate requiredto deliver it Transmission technology strives for cost-effective and reliable delivery of the maximumnumber of bits per second These issues and the ongoing debate on standard setting determine howmany programmes a cable system can carry to subscribers Quality, cost and quantity are the parame¬ters to be balanced

Multimedia and Interactive Services Trials

Chairperson Helga Seguin, F

Vice Chairman John Tox, UK

Various Multimedia and Interactive Trials are underway worldwide which explore the limits of technol¬

ogy and the even more difficult issues of what consumers desire Consumers are interested in services

Technology is the means to that end Unless there are compelling services demanded by consumers,the technology will remain an interesting laboratory curiosity The relationships between what interests

consumers and what is technically realisable will be investigated

What Future for Terrestrial Broadcasting?

Chairman: Philippe Levrier, F

Vice Chairman: Wayne Luplow, USA

The Terrestrial Broadcasters have used the allocated frequency close to optimum. Today, with the intro¬

duction of Digital Technology and the multiplication of services, it is necessary to rediscuss the techni¬

cal compromise which was acceptable a few years ago. However, competition is much stronger now

and the Terrestrial Networks will compete against cable and satellite. Who will win and why?

Innovative Products for Cable Operators

Chairman Wolfgang Kaiser, D

Vice Chairman Norbert de Muynck, B

Innovative products are the enablers which make new services possible and existing services easier to

use and more economic to deliver Effective innovation results in dramatic improvements for cable sub¬

scribers and cable operators Only products which are available less than a year or are expected to be

introduced before the end of 1995 will be considered The focus will be on major innovation, not rel¬

atively minor improvements in existing products

The Human Interface and In-Home Equipment for Cable

Chairman Walter Ciciora, USAVice Chairman Vito Brugliera, USA

The technology must never get in the way of delivering services to the consumer Service usage - espe¬cially interactive service - must be easy and fun Otherwise, customer confusion will lead to frustration,rejection and failure The choices brought by technology must be made available through an intuitiveinterface that is obvious in its use and seductively inviting The interface is realised by the in-homeequipment

Conditional Access and Operational Systems for Cable

Chairman: Roger Blakeway, UK

Wee Chairman: Martin Christoph, CH

Access to programming must be limited to those who are willing and able to pay for it. This providessupport for artists and for the intellectual property of creative individuals who supply the reason forconsumer interest. Conditional access must be non-intrusive to legitimate subscribers and have no neg¬ative impact on video or audio quality. A wide variety of important issues involve standardisation, har-

monisation and operational considerations in the delivery of cable services. Together with conditional

access, operational systems create a seamless environment for the enjoyment of programming.

Vision and Reality, Research in Cable

Chairman: Richard Green, USAWee Chairman: Masao Sugimoto, J.

The challenge of research is to have the vision to see what technology could make possible while pro¬viding realistic solutions which stretch but do not violate the limits of practicality. Research in cablemust always focus on the enabling of exciting services which interest consumers. The technology mustbe transparent both in its use and in its economic impact. The increasingly competitive environmentmakes striking the balance between vision and reality more important than ever.
