Four key capabilities are necessary to deliver uninterrupted 4K video to the home: Detection, Monitoring, Proactive Care, and Reactive Care, says Jos Delbar, Product Manager at Technicolor, in the white paper, Guaranteeing Seamless 4K OTT Content Delivery, presented at the SCTE Cable-Tec Expo 2018, in Atlanta, GA, October 22-25.

After declining unit-shipment volumes in 2017, global TV shipments are forecast to grow 3.6 percent year over year in 2018, with additional 1.4 percent growth in 2019, according to a new report from business information provider IHS Markit.

The rapid and increasing number of worldwide 4K flat panel TV shipments over the past few years is contributing to the overall growth of the global flat panel TV market, according to a new forecast from ABI Research. 4K TV units account for more than one-third of the total flat panel TV units sold in 2017. The strategic advisory firm forecasts that 4K flat panel TV shipments will surpass 102 million in 2018, representing 44 percent of total global flat panel TV shipments.

2018 is shaping up to be a big year for high dynamic range (HDR), and to be ready, Cobalt Digital is working with Technicolor to upgrade and develop new products that give the broadcast television industry what they need to create and deliver HDR content and entertainment, says Jesse Foster, director of products and business development at Cobalt Digital, in a podcast interview for journalists.
