Virtual set technology arrived ahead of its time. When the first systems for broadcasters came on the scene about 15 years ago, they got a very bad rap. So bad, the name was virtually erased from the broadcast vocabulary for over a decade.

It may be obvious, but sometimes the obvious needs stating, which is that television pictures can only be assessed by the viewer through the human visual system. It is equally obvious, that moving picture reproduction systems developed without an understanding of human vision will be sub-optimal. That’s where we are at the moment: today’s TV and cinema standards were specified before much of what we know about sight was well understood. With our now expanded and newer understanding, we should apply the science to future television systems.
With consumers viewing (and listening to) content on more devices and in more places than ever before, broadcasters are being challenged to meet demands for new and better audio experiences in the most cost-effective way. This means upping the ante on multichannel audio from the existing 5.1 surround sound systems found in homes across the world. Consequently, broadcasters are assessing the capabilities of existing infrastructures and determining how new developments in audio and video technology will affect their ability to deliver enhanced services to a broad array of end-user technologies—from high-end home theaters, to tablets and smart phones.
Broadcasting and telecoms have had a long relationship, one that in recent years has become closer and more symbiotic. But there is one area where the two clash head on: radio spectrum. This is a vital resource for not just television and radio transmission but also the production of entertainment shows and outside broadcasts today, which relies heavily on wireless microphones and cameras, in-ear monitors (IEMs) and mobile communications. Parallel to this is the ever-growing demand from mobile phone companies for frequencies to support video streaming and wireless telephony as well as telephony.
