Due to the work undertaken on extending the capabilities of the Avatar-m systems, we don’t have a dedicated stand at NAB 2010 this year.
We do however have some representatives there, who you will be able to find on stand SL10508 in the Lower South Hall.
So if you’d like to discuss Avatar-m and what it could do for you, then please come along and have a chat with us.
Our thanks to all of you that have an interest in the Avatar project and have either contacted us through this site, or visited us at one of our stands.
We have now created a short survey in the hope that we can use the information and feedback to tailor the outputs from the project to best meet the needs of users.
This survey can be found here and we would appreciate any feedback and comments you may have.
It’s been a fantastic week at NAB in Las Vegas. Not only did we get a brilliant range of visitors to our stand, but pretty much everyone took the time to find out all about our project. Though the show was down oin visitor numbers, those who were there, were there to do business. We’ve come away with lot’s to catch up on in terms of development of the software and exploring the exploitation and productisation phase of the project, and there’s a real urgency behind delivering systems and services for user to put into action.
Of course, NAB was only really a warm up show for us! It’s been our intention to show off the full finished research project at IBC for some years now, so stay tuned for updates on that show. We’re looking into potential stand partners there, and defining what our presence should be exactly, but do stay in touch and we’ll see you in September!
P.S. Email is now working well so if you have emailed us via the site earlier, and not had a response, do please try again.
If AVATAR-m and archiving in general of interest then we strongly recommend you come along to the session today in which Dr Matthew Addis is presenting our latest white paper: A Service Oriented Approach to Online Digital Audiovisual Archive.
The session is being held in Las Vegas Convention Center: S226/227, and runs from 1pm to 4.30pm.
Our white paper will be available for download later today.
We’re rolling into the final day of what has been a tremendously exciting and worthwhile NAB09 for us. For the next five hours you can still come along to SU7235 and see the demonstration of our groundbreaking archive managment software, and discuss with the developers and researchers themselves how we might potentially cooperate in the future. If you think this might be of use to you, please do come along today- we do have colleagues based in the US, but we’ll not be bringing these demonstrations over again, and unless you’ll be at IBC 09 in september, this really could be the last chance to see.
