The relatively nascent multi-screen industry is changing the very foundations of how we watch TV.  However, TV across multiple devices is still a new area and to really reap the rewards we must address some significant challenges. Multi-screen strategies are needed, technological issues must be resolved, standardisation is required, content protection is a necessity, others are looking to find the best business models, some need to establish how the tablet can be utilized to its full potential.

Multi-screen TV 2012, taking place 8-9 February in Berlin, is a conference designed to address these issues and offer a forum for innovation and collaboration for 2012 and beyond. The major telcos, pay TV operators, content owners, broadcasters and technology providers will discuss their solutions.

Results will be presented at the Munich Media Fair on October 19, 2011

Berlin, Munich, September 08, 2011. Interest in online videos and Internet TV is growing. Two thirds of all Internet users in Germany are already watching videos online at least occasionally. Although short, three-to-five-minute clips remain most popular, the popularity of longer formats, such as full TV broadcasts, TV show episodes, and full-length films, is growing.

At the end of 2010, there were about 1,300 online TV stations (Web TV Monitor 2010). Devices capable of accessing online videos are expanding beyond PCs and smart phones to include tablets, game consoles, and Internet-capable hybrid TV devices. More diverse access options have increased both users and variety in services. The world of Internet TV already encompasses not only Internet-only TV stations, but also the traditional media’s video and online services, diverse video-sharing platforms, multi-channel portals, media stores, non-commercial services, and corporate TV.
