At IBC2026 we speak with Joshua Kramer from Chyron about using AI to simplify multilingual content localisation.

Joshua explains how Chyron’s Prime Playout workflow is being used with AI-Media, Pangaea AI and NVIDIA Holoscan to translate graphics, captions and audio while maintaining lip sync across multiple language channels. We also discuss Chyron Orchestrator, Lexi API integration and how one operator can manage multiple language versions from a single workflow.

The demonstration shows how broadcasters can move towards faster localisation, helping content reach global audiences more efficiently.

At IBC2026 we speak with John Dale from Media Links about helping service providers evolve from traditional SDI infrastructure towards IP-based media transport.

John discusses the transition to SMPTE ST 2110, the move from JPEG 2000 towards low-latency JPEG-XS and the importance of supporting both SDI and IP as customers modernise at their own pace. We also look at how platforms such as Xscend can support changing compression technologies and evolving contribution workflows.

The conversation also looks ahead to Dynamic Media Facility concepts and why flexibility is key as service providers prepare for the next generation of media transport.

At IBC2026 we speak with Simen Frostad from Bridge Technologies about software-defined production and giving users greater flexibility across broadcast monitoring workflows.

Simen discusses the move towards software-based deployment of the VB440, allowing broadcasters to use their own compute infrastructure and scale monitoring resources when and where they are needed. We also talk about Bridge Technologies’ work with Dolby, including Dolby Vision, HDR analytics, Dolby Atmos and immersive audio monitoring across production and distribution.

The conversation also looks at how software can give creative and technical teams access to the capabilities they need without continually adding dedicated hardware.
