  Episode 128 of the All Things TechIE Podcast  recorded live in Amsterdam at IBC 2025 with host Justin Dawson and guest Tim Albright! We sat down on day two of the conference in the Hall 14 podcasting studio to tackle the massive trends disrupting the media and entertainment industry.We dive deep into the accelerating overlap between broadcast technology, professional AV technology, and IT. Learn about the incredible advancements in AI-powered closed captioning and instant audio transcription demonstrated at the show. This technology brings total accessibility and personalised translation systems to users. Hear about the value of the Accelerator Zone in Hall 14. These programs give innovators space to show off ideas, receive market feedback, and serve as a fantastic benefit to the entire industry—potentially even serving as PhD projects for universities.We discuss the ethics of generative AI and the need for authenticity verification (like digital watermarks) to ensure video content has not been AI-generated. We also reflect on the rapid increase in content consumption and the dangers of quick judgment based on sensational, partial clips.We look at how technology has drastically changed the industry (comparing a $20,000 camera from 35 years ago to a modern smartphone). We also analyse disruptive content models, including the rise of "watch parties," the future of TV licensing in Europe, and the evolution of sports broadcasting like the NFL's potential move to direct-to-consumer models.Whether you're interested in the changing face of control rooms moving to the cloud, or the small gadgets used by professionals shooting solo, Episode 128 is packed with insights from the IBC2025 floor!

  All Things TechIE Podcast - Episode 127 at IBC2025This a booth tour of Storj, one of the sponsors to All Things TechIE Podcast while at IBC2025.ATLANTA, September 10, 2025 – Storj today announced Production Cloud, a purpose-built platform for modern media workflows. It combines Storj’s new Global Collaboration tier of high-performance distributed object storage and Object Mount cloud media access into a unified media solution. Designed for editorial, media production teams in post, news, and sports, Production Cloud empowers creative teams to collaborate globally, move faster, and scale with confidence. By combining distributed object storage and seamless file access into a single offering, Production Cloud enables collaboration, low-latency editing, and cost-effective archiving across distributed environments.  Storj also announced that cloud compute for media is in beta and will soon be added to the platform. "Storj is focused on solving the challenges in the world's most demanding workflows,” said Colby Winegar, CEO of Storj. “We now have the storage, compute, and access solutions to give creative teams the speed, scale, and flexibility to work without limits." “Storj’s storage tiers and file-based access already address key bottlenecks in media production,” said Alex Holtz, Research Director, Worldwide Media & Entertainment Digital Strategies at IDC. “And now, the Production Cloud puts everything M&E teams need to move faster, scale on demand, and simplify workflows into one integrated platform.”  Global production: Where traditional cloud providers fall short.Media production – from broadcast and creative agencies to film and TV – has evolved rapidly in recent years, with more remote collaboration, massive file sizes, global delivery timelines, unpredictable cloud bills, and non-stop deadlines.  Since 2022, the number of films and TV shows made in the U.S. has dropped by about 40%. Meanwhile, over 70% of M&E leaders in the U.S. and U.K. agree or strongly agree media production work is becoming more remote and collaborative, with nearly 80% stating that migrating from on-premise to cloud-based workflows is important or very important. Traditional cloud providers were not optimized for the realities of media and entertainment decades ago, and the needs of production teams today expose the limits of legacy cloud providers daily. Transferring hundreds of gigabytes across regions leads to delays, while surprise egress fees strain budgets, and replication-heavy architectures slow down productions. Modern production teams now need:Instant access to huge files in the cloudPredictable pricing with no egress surprisesConsistent global performance without replicating across regionsSecure, private storage built for compliance and resilienceWorkflows that just work across tools and teams Production Cloud: Modern infrastructure for modern production teams.Production Cloud from Storj is designed to solve these specific needs, reflecting a strategic shift in how creative teams interact with cloud infrastructure. It bundles Storj’s high-performance Global Collaboration tier of Distributed Storage with Object Mount, Storj’s proprietary interface for accessing media in the cloud, and has no egress fees and zero API fees. This integration allows users to ingest camera-to-cloud, perform frame-accurate editing, proxy workflows, conform, and content distribution directly from the cloud. Production Cloud eliminates egress and API charges, simplifying production and enabling predictable costs for high-throughput workflows. Customers can also add an Active Archive storage tier that supports long-term retention and active retrieval for repurposing content. When done, archived assets remain accessible without the cost or complexity of traditional cold storage. The Production Cloud accelerates real-world production workflows.Ingest - Fast ingest, less wrangling with direct S3 access for camera-to-cloud workflows.Dailies - Frame-accurate playback for reviewing LUTS, enable instant remote review and faster creative decisions.Assistant Editing - Proxy generation, metadata tagging, and global clip access for editorial prep.Selects & Assembly - Instant bin and timeline access lets editors start rough cuts without delay.Editing - Multi-track support, VFX pulls, and remote preview deliver full editorial control from anywhere.Conform & Delivery - Ultra-fast final conform and master, export directly from cloud storage in real time. Additional features of Production Cloud include:Features and pricing for media - Transparent, bundled model that reflects how media teams actually work. By combining infrastructure into a single offering, Storj eliminates the inconsistency of egress fees and eliminates the need for regional replication, resulting in predictable and reasonable costs.Consistent performance globally - Storj’s distributed architecture stores data across tens of thousands of nodes worldwide, where only a small portion of the data from the fastest nodes are needed to deliver file access. This design provides consistent low-latency performance. See recent performance benchmarking performed by Integrated Digital Solutions. Global access without replication - The unique design of Storj enables remote teams to access content anywhere in the world without copying data to additional storage regions. This approach delivers 11 nines of durability and multi-region availability without the cost or complexity of traditional cloud replication. Storj helps global media, AI and creative organizations simplify workflows with the distributed cloud, including object storage, file storage, and flexible on-demand compute. In recent performance benchmarking from Integrated Digital Solutions, Storj maintained consistent performance across geographic locations throughout the 24 hour period tested with less volatility than other providers. The only other provider tested who came close to Storj global performance was AWS S3, but with much higher costs, requiring regional replication.  These results cement Storj’s position as a distributed storage platform for organizations struggling with the performance, complexity, and cost limitations of centralized cloud hyperscalers. This is particularly relevant for the media and entertainment industry, which operates at a global scale and with large-file-intensive workflows.
