Bringing the Content The
number of solutions aimed at delivering Web-like experiences on
the TV, whether implemented directly on a connected television
or via other connected devices such as game consoles, cloud
media set-top boxes, pay TV set-top boxes, connected Blu-ray
players, or media servers, is staggering. Who will control
content delivery to connected TVs?

Extending the Video Experience
to Multiple Screens How will the industry enable the free
flow of content to multiple screens and handle management, monetization,
and authorization? This panel addresses the issue of whether pay-TV conditional access will migrate from a pure authentication
scheme on one device to cross-platform authentication, thus
allowing for more rights management elements.

Controlling the Experience
Many of the challenges in the next few years center on the best
way to organize new services and filter the massive amounts of
content so that it is all manageable to the user. How will
consumers access, navigate, and interact with multiple sources
of video content? Will 3D program guides be a reality?
