If you have a Schoeps Mikrofone CMIT 5, check out our latest video showing how to set it up on the Radius windshields RAD-2 mount. Even though the CMIT is a bit longer than some of the short preamp shotgun mics, it's still very lightweight. So there are options when just using a foam gag to have the soft firmness RAD hoops which provide great isolation when booming indoors (or calm wind outdoors). Shoutout to Ken Strain for testing out a variety of setups with the RAD mounts last year and giving us the tip on spreading out the soft firmness hoops to provide a little more support without having to stiffen up the isolation. https://lnkd.in/g7UG6DX4

Reliable and efficient, as Sara Khan notes: 🥬 "Our obsession with well-designed, low-impact code has contributed to a 10x reduction in per-encode power consumption for video encoding over the past decade, and our technology investments over the last decade have led to a 5x improvement in the key metric of video transport bandwidth per watt of power used by servers." LTN is better than satellite.

Very good insight! I agree, the landscape is shifting. Adapt or die. As a TV and movie production company we can align with the streaming platforms, and with half a dozen companies reach HALF of the entire world's population. By doing so we can also control our own destiny and costs. That is alluring. The media distribution marketplace will dramatically change in the next 36 months. Is there a place for cinema, theatres, streaming, and other alternative delivery methods to co-exist? Time will tell, we all adapt, we all evolve, that is the nature of business. Here is a prelude of things to come...

Over-the-air radio owns a 37% share of all audio listening, according to Edison's latest "Share of Ear" research. Music videos on YouTube come in second place with 13% and podcasts are third with 10%. Even more impressive? When it comes to ad-supported audio, radio's share skyrockets to 69% of listening. America's largest reach advertising medium remains incredibly strong.

The Growing Importance of TV Operating Systems in the Media Market The significance of TV operating systems (OS) in the media market is increasing rapidly. While Google and Apple dominate the mobile sector, TV platforms evolve beyond their influence. TV manufacturers create their own ecosystems through proprietary OS, offering consumers more choices. Media professionals must understand each manufacturer’s TV OS to grasp the unique content and user experiences provided. Historically, TVs were broadcast receivers. Today, they are smart media hubs led by platforms like Samsung’s Tizen, LG’s WebOS, Hisense’s VIDAA, and the recently launched Titan OS by Philips TV in February 2024. While Netflix, Amazon, Disney Plus, and YouTube are still central, proprietary platforms from TV manufacturers are growing, creating new revenue streams. From a global perspective, this discussion excludes Amazon Fire TV and Roku. Samsung’s Tizen OS is known for its intuitive interface and extensive content. Samsung TV Plus offers free content, enhancing user satisfaction. Samsung has also adopted FAST (Free Ad-Supported Streaming TV) and AVOD (Advertising Video on Demand) content, strengthening its platform. Similarly, LG’s WebOS, through LG Channels, provides diverse content with an OTT-like interface. LG has embraced FAST channels and AVOD content, offering a richer media experience. Their revenue model mirrors the advertising models of other OTT services, essentially providing free access to content. Hisense’s VIDAA OS, via VIDAA Channels, offers a wide range of free content, improving usability. However, Hisense lags behind Samsung and LG in adopting FAST and AVOD content. However, their growth has been the most remarkable recently. Meanwhile, Philips TV introduced Titan OS in February 2024, with user-customized content and a proprietary FAST platform. TCL uses various OSs, like Google and Roku, but also maintains proprietary platforms like TCL Channel and TCL TV+. These platforms offer unique content and services, differentiating user experiences through their ecosystems. Industry professionals must pay attention to TV manufacturers’ strategies. Leveraging these platforms is a critical opportunity for content distribution, opening new avenues for reaching audiences. TV OS has evolved to become central to the user experience. Major manufacturers like Samsung, LG, Hisense, Philips, and TCL offer distinct content and services through their OS. Samsung and LG, in particular, have enhanced their competitiveness by integrating FAST channels and AVOD content. As TV OS’s importance grows, understanding and utilizing these platforms will be essential for successful business ventures. #tvos #tizen #webos #vidaa #samsung #tcl #lg #hisense #titanos #philips
