What does it take to bring a product from prototype to production? What is innovation, and how does it differ from invention? These, among others, are questions that engineers grapple with in the course of daily business.

And these questions are more critical than ever in a world where fast-paced simply doesn’t cut it. The rate of innovation has accelerated to near immediacy. Getting a product out into the world as quickly as possible – without cutting corners – has become the name of the game.

In this live event, Mike Wilkinson, Founder and CEO of Paragon Innovations, discusses these questions with Keith Nesrsta, Regional Sales Manager at Silicon Labs, Donny Lamey, CEO at Smart Tracking Technologies and Dr. Rainer Fink from Texas A&M University.

The guests’ industries might vary – Nesrsta and Silicon Labs, as well as Lamey and Smart Tracking Labs are helping shape the future of the Internet of Things, while Dr. Fink has dabbled in everything from analog electronics to medical device design and testing – but they share a passion for innovation.

Paragon Innovations has worked with companies from the start-up level all the way to Fortune 500s, drawing on more than three decades of experience to assist these customers with turnkey, end-to-end product development services designed to address the breakneck pace of modern innovation.

This broadcast will provide insight from the quartet of industry thought-leaders and tackle how engineers and others involved in bringing a product to life can navigate this ever-shifting landscape.

Transcoding moves to the cloud. Intercom, tally and shading stay at the venue

Transcoding moves to the cloud. Intercom, tally and shading stay at the venue

Vendors draw the same line: transcoding and graphics move to the cloud, while intercom, tally and camera shading stay on site. Riedel says the connection back to on-site talent, cameras, tally and IFB can still undermine the production or the business case. Hybrid looks like where things settle.

  • 01Dillon’s analysis suggests hybrid cloud-plus-venue production is where things settle, making on-site hardware for latency-bound work a long-term facility plan item.
  • 02Interoperability standards such as SMPTE ST 2110 and NMOS handle the plumbing. The question to put to vendors now is how their systems provision, configure, tear down and monitor services alongside other vendors' gear.
