The TV market stands at a new technological watershed: IPTV will allow for TV reception in new ways, surpassing traditional means of broadcasting. In Germany in particular, this technology could do away with today’s ‘half-analogue’ dilemma of distribution channels that have only partially been digitally upgraded. This roundtable points out the current state of technology and gives an overview of opportunities and risks for TV networks and producers. Afterwards the Pixelpark AG invites the visitors to a »Pixel-Kölsch«.
