Our students & our stand on the topic of AI at IBC 2025 in Amsterdam

Once again this year, we took 10 students on an excursion to the International Broadcasting Convention in Amsterdam. An interesting program with many booth visits and good discussions provided all participants with professional suggestions and insights into the diverse fields of application of AV technologists and AI.

For the first time, we were also represented with our own stand on the research topic of AI-based SDR/HDR cross-conversion.

Excursion to Panasonic's Business Solution Center in Wiesbaden

Thirteen students from the Media Technology and Advanced Media Technologies degree programs visited Panasonic's Business Solution Center with their supervising professor Bernhard Gross on 28 May.

Mr. Stefan Esselborn, Manager Sales Engineering, with the support of working student Hazma Drissi, demonstrated the wide range of topics in media and network technology. Various large displays and projectors could be admired in the event hall. Particularly impressive were the quality comparison when using different source coding and bit rates as well as the explanation of the Smart Display Module concept adaptation to different technologies. The diverse application possibilities of the Network Device Interface (NDI), which transmits audio and video via unicast and multicast flexibly, cost-effectively and bandwidth-efficiently between sources and sinks, were the subject of a Conference & Collaboration demonstration. Finally, Mr. Esselborn showed in a production studio how audio and video content as well as accompanying media can be produced flexibly and efficiently without technical operating personnel.

The guests enjoyed the excursion very much and were able to experience content from the courses at Panasonic in practical operation. Many thanks to Mr. Esselborn and Panasonic for the invitation.
