IBC was all about the coming of 4K. But it was a subject not without controversy with much concern that its benefits could be dissipated.

In this fascinating roundtable representatives from Elemental Technologies, Entropic, Ericsson and Rovi talk about 4k, HEVC and look ahead to 8k.

Are broadcasters slow off the mark with HEVC installation?

How is HEVC applicable beyond 4K?

Is Europe falling behind?

What about standards?

Will consumers who purchase sets be disappointed by lack of content?

What is the bandwidth cost?

Would it be sensible to wait for 8k?
