SUMMARY:13th FOKUS Media Web Symposium
DESCRIPTION:The 13th FOKUS Media Web Symposium\, hosted by Fraunhofer FOKUS\, will take place in Berlin on 16-17 June 2026. The main subjects will be AI-driven creativity\, immersive experiences\, and sustainable practices across the media value chain. Expect breakthroughs in generative workflows\, XR storytelling\, ultra-fast and secure distribution\, personalised and eco-conscious consumption\, and green streaming optimisation. AI remains the catalyst\, shaping smarter\, greener\, and more engaging media ecosystems. \nCreate \nThis track explores cutting-edge technologies shaping media production and content generation. Generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) are redefining creative workflows\, while AI-based media encoding and advanced content analysis enhance efficiency and personalisation. Metadata-driven processes and Green Digital Twins enable sustainable and optimised media pipelines. Immersive experiences through XR\, Metaverse\, and Holo Conferencing highlight the convergence of virtual collaboration and storytelling. Energy-conscious encoding reflects the growing commitment to eco-friendly media creation. \nDistribute \nDistribution innovations focus on delivering media with speed\, security\, and adaptability. Protocols like DASH\, HLS\, and Media over QUIC (MoQ) enable low-latency streaming at scale\, complemented by Content Steering for dynamic delivery optimisation. Edge and Cloud Processing\, combined with 5G/6G networks\, unlock ultra-responsive media experiences. Advanced monetisation strategies such as HbbTV Dynamic Ad Substitution\, Server-Guided Ad-Insertion and Programmatic Advertisement drive new revenue models. Security and authenticity remain central through DRM and C2PA\, ensuring trust in a rapidly evolving ecosystem. \nConsume \nThis track addresses user experience and sustainable media consumption. Advances in video player technology and Quality of Experience monitoring ensure seamless playback across devices. Energy-efficient media players and green AI enable sustainable viewing habits\, while Addressable TV personalises content delivery. Immersive XR and Metaverse experiences redefine interaction\, supported by AI-based media solutions for smarter engagement. The focus on sustainability reflects a growing demand for responsible and user-centric media consumption. \nOptimise \nOptimisation technologies aim to enhance performance\, sustainability\, and transparency across the media value chain. Streaming Analytics and Advanced Analytics provide actionable insights for real-time decision-making. AI-driven optimisation improves delivery efficiency\, while energy-conscious infrastructure and Green Streaming initiatives reduce environmental impact. Innovations like Green Content Steering and Content Provenance ensure authenticity and trust in media workflows. This track highlights the synergy between data\, AI\, and sustainability for next-generation media ecosystems. \nThe HbbTV Association is proud to be a partner of the FOKUS Media Web Symposium.

SUMMARY:Kineton International Plugfest & HbbTV Testing Event
DESCRIPTION:Kineton is delighted to announce the second International Plugfest planned for this year in cooperation with the HbbTV Association. The Kineton Plugfest will take place from Monday\, June 22nd\, to Wednesday\, June 24th\, at the Kineton offices in Naples\, Italy. From June 24th to June 26th\, the HbbTV Testing Event and Testing Group meeting will follow. \nPlugfests provide a fantastic\, controlled platform for all participants to collaborate towards achieving interoperability and delivering an excellent user experience. \nInteroperability tests cover cutting-edge technologies such as UHD-4K/8K\, HDR\, HFR\, NGA\, HbbTV\, DVB-I and HDMI (2.0/2.1a/2.1b) interoperability with sources (STBs/streaming devices\, sound bars\, AVRs\, laptops\, encoders) and sinks (TVs\, projectors\, display monitors etc). \nThe Plugfest is open to all companies interested in testing/validating their AV products/software/content/apps interoperability & compatibility with others’ implementations. Participants include TV device manufacturers\, broadcasters\, technology providers\, platform operators\, encoder providers\, test equipment manufacturers\, research & development institutions\, standardisation bodies as well as HbbTV app\, HbbTV OpApp and DVB-I client developers. \nDate: June 22-26\, 2026\nVenue: Kineton offices\, via Emanuele Gianturco 23\, Naples\, Italy\nWho: Free for all HbbTV members. Nominal fee applicable for non-members. Attendance is strictly restricted to participants only. \nThe Plugfest is part of a week-long events\, which also includes the HbbTV Testing Event\, focusing on the HbbTV Test Suite v2026-2 validation\, and the HbbTV Testing Group meeting from June 24th to June 26th. The Testing Event is open to HbbTV members only. \nThe Plugfest provides an opportunity for the HbbTV implementers to execute tests on their devices and log those executions as part of the evidence required to approve test cases for the HbbTV Test Suite v2026-2 release. The representatives of test material providers will be available to discuss problems found with either the test material or implementation. The Testing Event participants will have temporary access to the test harness\, necessary for executing the test cases at the event. The test plan will be distributed to the event participants a day before. Participants should be TRAA assignees to have access to the HbbTV Test Repository.\nEvent details:\nPlease register here. \nFor content-related questions about the Plugfest\, please contact Salvatore Martino at salvatore.martino@kineton.it \nFor content-related questions about the HbbTV Testing Event or the face-to-face HbbTV Testing Group meeting\, please contact Nguyen Thi Thanh Van\, Samsung Electronics at van.nguyen@samsung.com.
