17. Introduction
This presentation focuses on five topics
considering the future of TV
• Content Discovery
• Next Generation Video
• Screened Interactions
• Science Fiction TV
• Disruptive Business
19. Content Discovery
Surfacing content on TV is outdated
Switching between online, TV, and stored content is frustrating
Because content lives in various places, we need a better solution to access
it
20. Content Discovery
Content discovery on TV is beginning to replicate
how we search and discover content on the web
Service innovators and digital natives such as
Google/Microsoft/Apple/Facebook are now getting involved in the TV arena
They are looking at ways to apply the web behaviour of discovering and
sharing content to TV viewing
Facebook frictionless sharing • Amazon recommendations • Twitter trending topics • Google
search
21. Content Discovery

Zeebox

of varying length e.g 3 mins,15 mins
Opportunities for brands to become publishers of VoD wrapped up in apps
for Connected TV‟s

26. Content Discovery
Intelligent content - algorithms will recommend content based on past
programmes viewed. It will learn your habits so if you watch Eastenders
every weekday at 8pm then it will recommend content around this window
TV will be linked to your calendar and will schedule events and programmes
to remind you of viewing
Content discovery tomorrow
28. Next Generation Video
UK Video Viewership
80% of the total UK Internet audience (34M users) watched 8.4
billion videos which accounted for 58.8 Billion minutes in Jan 2012
[source comScore]
That‟s an average of 247 videos per viewer
29 hours of content per month per viewer
With the current average linear TV consumption standing at around
20 -30 hours per week, online video consumption is ADDING 25% to
that total.
29. Next Generation Video
In the last 14 months the UK online viewership has reached
saturation with 0% growth (November 2010 = 34.7M UV; June 2011
= 33.7 UV; Jan 2012 = 34M UV) [source comScore]
However time spent engaging with videos (i.e. watching them!) has
continued to increase by 42% [source comScore]
Although video consumption is up, YouTube‟s market share
measured at November 2010 and January 2012 remains around
46% [source comScore]
UK Video Viewership
30. Next Generation Video
Tablets and Connected TVs are starting to see material uptake (the
BBC iPlayer tracking +596% and >1000% year on year respectively)
as the primary screen for watching connected video.
The UK BBC iPlayer tracked 23 Million request via Mobile devices
(phone + tablets) in Dec 2011 – 12% of all requests made that
monthly [source BBC Press]
Mobile (including tablet) video consumption is expected to grow
(globally) past 690 Billion minutes by 2015 [source PR Web]
UK Video Viewership
31. Next Generation Video
When Machinima launched the Mortal Kombat series, we saw millions and
millions of viewers coming weekly to the series – from around the world,
and beat the ratings of many very well established shows. This trend
means we can expose new series, or re-ignite existing ones, in front of a
massive, targeted and global audience, instantly.
New video content networks keep popping up
32. Next Generation Video
Brands as TV content producers and publishers
NewYork Times app which serves up video content on news stories.
Red Bull as a brand that creates hours and hours of programming
for both TV and websites and is one of the biggest brands on
Facebook, with some 10 million followers
Majority of brands are not looking to
monetise their TV apps to begin with, rather
use them for halo effect
Huffington Post to launch live streaming
network
M&S TV http://www.capablue.com/case-studies/ms-tv
33. Next Generation Video
More opportunity for OTT (Over The Top) TV
Xbox, TiVo and Connected TV‟s all offer app hubs for viewers to
access video content
34. Next Generation Video
Technology for video distribution is
evolving at a rapid rate
Cloud based video distribution allows every device to access content
Video content can be served to every browser via one format
35. Next Generation Video
Shared video viewing experience
Co-viewing experience allows you to watch a video in sync with your friends
MTV Under The Thumb app connects with Facebook chat, so the „shared
experience‟ is shared across multiple locations in an on-demand video
environment
40. Screen Interaction
Synchronous
On TiVo you can pause a recorded show. If you are then mobile you
can pick up where you left the show. This requires content to be
stored in the cloud. Think Amazon Kindle
42. Screen Interaction
Complimentary
Application is more for games. Could be done for TV
poker game, if you have an iPhone you can create a TV
app that dishes out cards to your iPhone and you
communicate back to the screen
46. Science Fiction TV
Video Calls via TV
Talk to friends and family from the comfort of your own living room on
HDTV
47. Science Fiction TV
TV controlled by thought
Imagine a future where channels can be changed and volume
controlled with mere thought
48. Science Fiction TV
Emotional response to content
Combining and visualising users emotions, reactions and eye
tracking when testing any digital content or product
50. Disruptive Business
Global launches for TV series
Fox‟s „Touch‟ launched across 100 countries on the same day with a
global sponsorship, marketing and advertising partner
This may be the business of the future. “We are definitely getting more and more questions” from clients, she said. Automotive
marketers, who typically launch vehicles around the world over a course of a few months, could also be potential customers
“It‟s the only way to think about the future in the marketing and distribution of content,”
- Liz Dolan, chief marketing officer for Fox International Channels
51. Disruptive Business
Integration of broadcast, online and applications
Cable and satellite TV provide hundreds of channels already. Add online
content/apps and the choices increase exponentially
No boxes, no cables, just one remote and access TV anywhere
As a result TV now provides everything users want in a TV
53. Disruptive Business
New TV formats
New formats for shows and variations of interactive games made
possible by gesture and voice control. These formats should be
adopted by advertisers
Interactive television Complimentary Web series
TV and video driven by
the community
The best in class TV shows will combine their
DNA with „people add value‟ principle of Web
54. Disruptive Business
TV data and analytics
Accurate analysis requires sound methodology, leading technology
and the right amount of human filtering and editing to reveal the
value of a television show‟s audience in social media.
55. Disruptive Business
Highly targeted advertising
Enormous waste coverage in traditional TV advertising. By contrast,
Connected TV allows for much more precise forms of commercial
communication, tailored to the user‟s interest profile. Increased precision will
not only delight advertisers, but also viewers
Facial recognition
56. Disruptive Business
Device aware advertising
Monetise video content across any connected device
50% of traffic to videos will be generated by non-PC devices in 2013
