"Although 4K ultra-high definition video stillhas a two to three year incubation periodahead, it is making its presence known. Global4K TV shipments will grow from just 62,000units last year, to 780,000 in 2013 and 22million units in 2017," Futuresource predicts.

Researchers suggest that the arrival of native4K content will increase consumerawareness and help boost sales "from 2015onwards."

Futuresource also anticipates that mostglobal TV manufacturers will launch a rangeof 4K TVs by the end of this year.

"LCD TV panel manufacturers and premiumTV brands have been looking for the next hottrigger to accelerate flat panel replacement.3D in the home was an attempt to achievethis and it has yet to become the solidsuccess that many had hoped for," saysFuturesource's Head of ConsumerElectronics, Simon Bryant. "4K represents amore natural progression for the industry,

but one that brings its own challenges, notleast the intricacies of producing 4K panelsat high yield rates and the complexities ofdelivering the bandwidth-hungry content."

"Substantial compression improvementsprovided by the HEVC codec will smooth theway for broadcast,” adds Simon. “Althoughthe real-time encoding required for livetransmission is still embryonic, solutions arebeing trialled and evaluated."

Vassilis Seferidis, Director, EuropeanBusiness Development at SamsungElectronics, supports the Futuresource view,believing that ultra-high definition TV is ontrack to become a mass-market propositionby 2017.

Speaking at the recent FuturesourceEntertainment Summit 2013 in London,Seferidis based his prediction on the take-upof high definition since its introduction. Henoted that major operators had launched HDservices when penetration of HD sets had

reached the order of five per cent.

“Our estimation is that ultra-high definitionwill become mainstream by the year 2017.The question is whether operators will waitfor penetration to reach this five per centlevel before introducing channels. There aregood indications that will start earlier aswell.” He noted that a number of operatorssuch as Sky Deutschland were alreadyexperimenting with U-HD production,describing it as “the natural next step” forresolution.

“Ultra-high definition is a market that’s goingto happen, basically driven by consumerdemand, but also by operators andmanufacturers, who want to differentiatetheir products”.

6 COMMUNICATES Your industr y, your voice…news from CEDIA

Who are you?

Mike Beatty

What’s your company and where is itbased

Pulse Marketing is a sales, marketingand AV distribution company based inStansted Mountfitchet, UK. We focus onoffering our dealers the very besttraining and support; from sales andmarketing, technical and on siteassistance, plus so much more…

How did you get into the industry?

I started my life in the industry workingfor The Audiofile in Bishop’s Stortford insales, selling audio brands such as Linn,Naim and Rega to name a few. I quicklyrealised that the AV industry wassomewhere I’d like to stay – doesn’tseem like 22 years, but time flies whenyou’re having fun!

What’s your favourite film?

That’s a difficult question, but if I had topick one it would be The ShawshankRedemption. I know it’s a predictableone, but I just loved it and I’m lookingforward to watching it again on the bigcinema at Pulse HQ.

What’s your favourite album?

I’m really enjoying Live Lounge at themoment. I would listen to Phil CollinsFace Value again and again; when I wasa little younger.

What’s your favourite project and why?

It has to be our training facility, as wehave dreamed since the inception of ourcompany that we would one day have afacility like this. Whilst project managingthe build, I can now see just how hardour dealers work to bring together theiramazing projects.

Which custom installation technologydo you consider the most importanttoday and why?

Anamorphic lenses, as it’s only right thatwe allow clients to watch films withoutblack bars in the way the directorintended. D-BOX has been a revelationand a product that I can see becoming amust have for all cinemas in the future.

How long have you been a CEDIAmember?

We have been a CEDIA member for thebest part of 15 years and have workedclosely with the CEDIA team to helpwherever possible to achieve thenecessary changes for our industry. I amso proud to have been asked to be a partof the Nominating Working Group withBuzz Delano, Larry Pexton from Triadand Jason Sloan from Sonance.

What do your consider your biggestachievement as a CEDIA member?

Opening our training facility and writingand designing two amazing courses:‘Introduction to Cinema’, (which wasnominated for an award for BestTraining Course) and DiSC; which is themost comprehensive and advancedcourse available to help dealers with theprocess of selling cinema systems. Thiscourse is coming soon.

What’s the biggest issue for custominstallation businesses today and howcan they deal with it?

The biggest issue for Custom Installersto deal with is that too many ‘cinemainstallers’ aren’t giving their clients whatthey deserve. When the point ofreference for a cinema is a plasma on awall; clients need not be educated aboutwhat’s possible. Too many dealers arecutting and pasting systems that theyare ‘comfortable’ installing, just to makesure of the sale.

If there was one thing you could changein the industry what would it be?

Those CEDIA members that have thepassion, enthusiasm, knowledge andexperience in installing dedicatedcinemas would be highlighted asspecialists in their field.

If you weren’t in the custom installationsector, what would you like to be doingand why?

I’d love to train children to realise theirpotential and to teach life skills to themat a young age. I have learnt so muchabout life and business in the last 10years and I wish that someone had givenme some insight when I was younger…or the next Spurs manager would bepretty cool – I manage my boy’s under 11football team and I think I’m doing quitewell actually. Surely, that gives meenough qualifications to get me the topjob! ☺
