  • Sony and LiveU zoom in on future with bonded IP breakthrough at IBC 2025

    Sony and LiveU zoom in on future with bonded IP breakthrough at IBC 2025

    MUMBAI: When Sony meets LiveU, the broadcast world gets a sharper focus. At IBC 2025, the two tech titans announced a first-of-its-kind collaboration that promises to change how stories get from the field to the newsroom fast, reliable, and without the usual workflow headaches.

    The star of the show? The new LiveU TX1, a compact transmission unit built specifically for Sony’s professional camera range. Think of it as a tiny powerhouse: it clips neatly onto cameras like Sony’s freshly launched PXW-Z300, turning them into mobile broadcast hubs. With its small form factor, TX1 slashes production timelines by offering ultra-fast file transfers and bonded IP connectivity on the go.

    At its core is LiveU’s patented LRT (LiveU Reliable Transport) protocol, famed for keeping live feeds smooth, stable, and sharp even in tricky conditions. By combining multiple network connections, TX1 ensures resilient video performance that broadcasters can actually trust for mission-critical operations.

    “Our customers want to be able to deliver files shot on camcorders from wherever the story takes them, back to their galleries, easily, swiftly and reliably,” said Sony Corporation head of media solutions business Masakazu Murata. “Through our collaboration with LiveU, the leading company in video-over-bonded-IP transmission, we are now able to offer customers a workflow integrated with Sony’s ecosystem even for mission-critical operations that require bonding. We look forward to working with LiveU to further streamline workflows and make a significant contribution to the broadcast industry.”

    LiveU CEO and co-founder Samuel Wasserman said, “We are proud to announce this important collaboration with Sony, the global leader in electronics, gaming, entertainment, and imaging technologies. This partnership represents a strong vote of confidence in LiveU’s cutting-edge technology and the innovation we bring and will continue to bring to the market. I would like to thank the Sony team for their professional and collaborative spirit and wish us all great success on our shared journey.”

    The deal signals more than just a shiny new gadget. It’s the start of a broader roadmap where Sony’s camera heritage and LiveU’s connectivity know-how combine to shape the next phase of broadcast production. Journalists, content creators, and live producers can expect fewer cables, faster turnaround, and workflows that keep pace with the news cycle.

    While the TX1 made its debut at IBC 2025, broadcast professionals will need a little patience: the unit will be available through Sony’s accredited distributors and resellers, with release details scheduled for 2026.

    For now, though, one thing is clear, when it comes to capturing the moment and sending it back in real time, Sony and LiveU are keeping the world’s broadcasters firmly in the picture.

  • Harman plugs Sound United acquisition; expands product portfolio

    Harman plugs Sound United acquisition; expands product portfolio

    ONNECTICUT: Harman’s $350 million swoop for Sound United is a seismic play in the global audio rivalry, vaulting Samsung’s prized subsidiary to the very top of the premium audio hierarchy. Overnight, the deal delivers Harman an army of industry icons: Bowers & Wilkins, Denon, Marantz, Definitive Technology, Polk Audio, HEOS, Classé, and Boston Acoustics—all famed not just for pedigree or hi-fi bravado, but cult customer devotion across the globe. 

    Sound United’s arrival telescopes Harman’s reach across every lucrative audio battleground—home audio gear, amplifiers, AV receivers, headphones and automotive audio now all under a single, thundering umbrella. By merging marque names, Harman becomes master of a 21-brand constellation, boosting its chances to dominate both traditional and emerging markets—from living room soundscapes to next-gen connected cars and wearables.

    Importantly, Sound United will run as a standalone strategic business unit, preserving each brand’s authenticity and loyal following even as it benefits from Harman’s vast distribution, R&D clout and Samsung’s global hardware ecosystem. The strategy: capitalise on fresh growth while leaving beloved products and sound signatures unspoiled, reassuring audiophile and casual buyers alike.

    For Harman, the move is about more than scale; it’s about future-proofing. Plugging Sound United’s legendary R&D and boutique appeal into Harman’s tech and supply chains means a faster track to innovation—from smarter, immersive hi-fi systems to AI-driven sound and car audio.

    “This is a bet on unmatched experience, quality and the next wave of audio technology,” says Harman lifestyle division president Dave Rogers.

    Analysts predict the expanded Harman will use its new firepower to take on both established peers and disruptors, targeting a global audio market expected to pass $75 billion by the end of the decade. For consumers and audiophiles, it signals more choice, greater technology trickle-down, and the lasting power of classic brands standing tall—with a turbocharged engine behind them.

  • Brands navigate trust, AI and culture to thrive in today’s media landscape

    Brands navigate trust, AI and culture to thrive in today’s media landscape

    MUMBAI: If marketing is war, then the battlefield is shifting from loud campaigns to sharper trust-building, from chasing clicks to curating culture. That was the resounding theme at the session “Driving Performance and Brand Reputation in a Dynamic Media Landscape” at the 3rd India Brand Summit 2025, where five marketing heavyweights unpacked what it takes to stay relevant when algorithms, attention spans, and authenticity collide.

    On stage were Harshita Hemnani (Bharti AXA Life Insurance), Argho Bhattacharya (Payu), Sayantani Das (Jumboking Burgers), Ritu Mittal (Bayer South Asia), and Anita Subramanian (JLL), with Abhishek Pujar of IAS steering the discussion.

    The conversation quickly zoomed in on artificial intelligence not as a futuristic buzzword but as an everyday reality. Mittal argued, “AI-generated content is a broad term not all of it is bad. If brands use AI to scale authentic storytelling and create contextual variations, it’s a powerful ally. But when AI content becomes clutter or poor quality, that’s when reputations get dented.”

    Das agreed that authenticity must rule over noise. “The brand will win not by shouting the loudest, but by being contextual and authentic,” she said, pointing out how creative variations and asymmetric segmentation now matter more than ever in cutting through digital saturation.

    Culture, too, emerged as a defining battleground. “You can’t drop a generic festive message and expect it to resonate,” said Hemnani. “Brands need to mirror the cultural mood whether it’s Diwali, Pongal or Christmas and be seen in environments reflecting joy, togetherness, and Indianness.”

    For Subramanian, real estate marketing offers lessons in nuance: “Trust is everything. Technology can scale, but human-led experiences are irreplaceable. That’s where AI works best augmenting, not replacing, authenticity.” She highlighted how launches today are often creator-led, citing international examples where communities turn content into commerce.

    Bhattacharya, from PayU, brought in the customer lens. “Consumers don’t care about brands, they care about what you can do for them. Value is the keyword, whether it’s price, quality, or convenience. Festivals amplify this tendency to spend, but the trick is to stay transparent, relevant, and valuable.”

    When the debate turned to balancing short-term performance with long-term reputation, the panel agreed there’s no either/or. “It’s not performance versus brand anymore, it’s about balance,” said Mittal. “Whether that’s 70-30 or 50-50 depends on your category and consumer priorities, but both are critical for sustainable growth.”

    Looking ahead, panellists predicted disruption from agentic AI, niche AI tools for smaller cohorts, and experience-driven marketing that fuses data with human insight. As Mittal summed up: “Responsible AI, trust, and personalisation will define the winners. In the long run, transparency and authenticity will separate brands that thrive from those that fade.”

    With over 300 delegates in attendance, the session reinforced a striking truth: in an era where algorithms increasingly decide visibility, the ultimate differentiator remains deeply human trust, culture, and value.

  • Sony cards speed past limits with blazing 1800 MB/s read and 1700 MB/s write

    Sony cards speed past limits with blazing 1800 MB/s read and 1700 MB/s write

    MUMBAI: When it comes to speed, Sony just hit fast-forward. The tech giant has launched its Cfexpress 4.0 Type A cards in India, promising blistering performance for professional creators with read speeds up to 1800 MB/s and write speeds up to 1700 MB/s more than double their predecessors.

    The new CEA-G1920T (1920 GB, Rs 97,490) and CEA-G960T (960 GB, Rs 59,990) cards, along with the MRW-G3 card reader (Rs 17,990), hit stores and e-commerce platforms on 20 August 2025. Built for Sony’s Cinema Line and Alpha cameras, the cards are designed to handle the ever-demanding world of high-bitrate 4K and above video, long shoots, and instant data transfer.

    The upgrades aren’t just about speed. With a minimum sustained write speed of 400 MB/s, these cards guarantee uninterrupted recording of cinematic-quality footage. Their durability has also been levelled up, the reinforced resin body is five times stronger than previous models and can survive drops from 7.5 metres. Bend resistance has been enhanced to withstand forces up to 150 newtons, making them ready for the chaos of on-location shoots.

    The compact design means portability without compromise, supporting lightweight camera bodies while packing in serious storage muscle. Meanwhile, the MRW-G3 reader, built exclusively for Cfexpress Type A, supports USB 40 Gbps transfer speeds, ensuring that even massive files fly from card to system in record time. With its heat-dissipation design, the reader is also engineered for stability during prolonged workflows.

    For photographers, videographers, and filmmakers juggling huge files under pressure, Sony’s latest launch isn’t just storage, it’s a workflow accelerator. With capacity, speed, and ruggedness in one pocket-sized package, these cards ensure creators spend less time waiting and more time making.

     

  • Pocket FM turns page with AI, unlocking new era of storytelling in India

    Pocket FM turns page with AI, unlocking new era of storytelling in India

    MUMBAI: Once upon a time just got an upgrade. Pocket FM is putting the ‘AI’ into imagination, unlocking a new chapter in storytelling for Indian writers and listeners alike.

    The world’s largest audio series platform has flung open the studio doors, letting anyone with a tale to tell see their words transformed into a fully produced audio show within minutes. Already, more than 30,000 AI-powered series are live, a number set to double by the end of the year.

    At the heart of this revolution is Pocket FM’s AI creator suite, a tool that whisks text into audio magic at lightning speed. Built in collaboration with Elevenlabs, the AI voices can slip seamlessly between drama, comedy, fantasy and romance, no more scratchy robots, just finely tuned emotion. For writers, the impact is staggering: What once took weeks now takes hours, with stories delivered 10 times faster.

    “This is not just a content shift but the rise of a new writer economy,” said Pocket Entertainment, co-founder, Prateek Dixit. “When human imagination meets AI innovation, the possibilities multiply. Writers can now share their work instantly, globally, and sustainably.”

    And it’s not just career writers reaping the rewards. Every month, more than 33,000 Indian listeners-turned-authors are publishing their own series on Pocket FM. Some are even cashing in top creators who are projected to cross Rs 10 lakh in earnings this year. Smash hits such as King of Dragon, Darshi: A Rebirth Story and Divya Yoddha Daksh show the appetite for AI-driven storytelling.

    For Nitesh Kumar Dayama, writer of King of Dragon, the experience was life-changing. “I didn’t have the money for editors or publishers,” he said. “Suddenly, I had a production team in my pocket. My words became an audio series in hours, and when I saw millions listening… and that I could earn from it, it felt like a breakthrough.” His series has racked up over 200,000 plays in under a month.

    Pocket FM isn’t stopping there. With plans to roll out its creator suite in multiple Indian languages and 200,000 new AI audio series on the horizon, the platform is doubling down on contests, contracts, and cash prizes worth up to Rs 15 lakh to nurture the next wave of storytellers.

    For India’s aspiring authors, this could be the ultimate happily ever after.

  • Dalet calls on Dalia as AI agent rewrites rules of media operations

    Dalet calls on Dalia as AI agent rewrites rules of media operations

    MUMBAI: In an industry where seconds can make or break a story, Dalet has decided it’s time to give newsrooms, broadcasters and content creators a smarter sidekick. Meet Dalia not just another chatbot, but the new agentic AI brain unifying the entire Dalet ecosystem.

    Announced ahead of IBC 2025 (Hall 7, Stand 7.A43), Dalia sits at the heart of Dalet Flex, Pyramid, Instream, Brio and Amberfin, offering media professionals a single conversational-style interface to handle the messy sprawl of ingest, production, rights management, distribution and archiving. Think less dashboard juggling, more “just ask and it’s done.”

    “From day one, we’ve pushed ourselves to deliver a truly user-centric experience,” said Dalet chief product & Technology Officer Stephen Garland. “What we’re unveiling isn’t just another tool. It’s intelligence beyond an agent, an assistant that unifies our entire ecosystem under one natural conversation.”

    Unlike generic LLM chatbots, Dalia is “media aware” trained not on customer data but on Dalet’s own orchestration and media engine. That means secure, task-specific smarts: it can search, clip, transcode, package or trigger review workflows without users leaving the chat. Early trials show that complex operations once requiring multiple tools can now be executed end-to-end in a single request.

    The roots of this breakthrough lie in Dalet’s in-house “Skunk Works” experiment, led by Erwan Kerfourn with Matteo De Martinis and Aaron Kroger. Operating like a startup within the company, the team moved at “breakneck speed”, turning bold ideas into a production-ready innovation without derailing day-to-day operations.

    “Dalia feels less like software and more like a savvy colleague,” said Kerfourn. “It eliminates friction from workflows and gives customers new freedom to create, sell, distribute and publish faster than ever.”

    The launch comes as the media sector wrestles with increasingly fragmented workflows. A recent survey found that comms and media professionals juggle an average of 11 different tools daily, with 68 per cent citing fragmentation as their biggest productivity killer. Dalet is betting that its AI-driven assistant can reclaim both time and sanity by collapsing silos into one conversational layer.

    For media companies, the implications are huge: streamlined operations, faster time-to-air, and a new way of working that feels less like fighting software and more like talking to a trusted colleague.

    With Dalia, Dalet isn’t just plugging AI into media, it’s inviting media to talk back.

  • AI joins the comms party as M37Labs launches Ebic.ai to fix workflow chaos

    AI joins the comms party as M37Labs launches Ebic.ai to fix workflow chaos

    MUMBAI: When brands lose the plot, it’s often not the story but the spreadsheet. M37Labs has unveiled Ebic.ai (Enterprise Brand Intelligence Console), a first-of-its-kind vertical AI platform designed to overhaul the 100 billion dollars global marketing, PR, and communications industry by unifying its notoriously fragmented workflows.

    The numbers tell the story: industry research shows communications professionals juggle an average of 11 different tools daily, with 68 per cent citing disjointed workflows as their top productivity hurdle. Ebic.ai claims to end this chaos by consolidating everything from monitoring to narrative-building into a single adaptive console.

    Early deployments across enterprise clients in India and Malaysia have been striking. Teams reported up to 15x productivity gains and 3x time savings thanks to unified dashboard management. In just two months of use, Ebic.ai’s predictive algorithms identified and helped avert three potential brand crises, shifting communications from reactive firefighting to proactive strategy.

    At its core, the platform integrates four AI-driven modules:

    ●    Real-time Omnichannel Brand Monitoring: A contextual AI co-pilot that delivers global updates and enables 3x faster strategic decision-making.

    ●    Predictive Crisis Detector: Scans millions of data points to flag risks early; in trials, it spotted emerging threats weeks before reputational damage could occur.

    ●    Strategic Narrative Engine: Uses reinforcement learning to co-create compelling content while maintaining brand voice, with users reporting 3x more efficient output.

    ●    Intelligence Hub: Goes beyond mention tracking with competitor positioning and opportunity mapping.

    “The biggest bottleneck in communications isn’t ideas, it’s execution trapped in disconnected systems. EBIC.AI is the intelligent co-pilot that finally unifies these workflows,” said M37Labs co-founder & CEO Prashant Shivram Iyer.

    Adding to this, M37Labs CAIO & co-founder Zorawar Purohit noted: “Other tools monitor; Ebic.ai comprehends and acts. It learns from every interaction, continuously protecting and enhancing brand value. This isn’t an incremental step, it’s a new operating model for brand management.”

    Built by a world-class developer team out of India for global adoption, Ebic.ai runs on a cloud-native, multi-language architecture. Its early success with multinational clients underscores both its scalability and its ambition: to replace the patchwork of single-point services with a single, intelligent hub for enterprise brand management.

    In a world where attention spans are shrinking and crises can explode in minutes, Ebic.ai is pitching itself as the difference between scrambling and strategising and for an industry fuelled by reputation, that’s a shift worth more than a headline.

    “The modern Indian family is digital-first and experience-driven. VZY goes beyond being just a television to deliver an immersive, curated experience,” added Dish TV India chief revenue officer Sukhpreet Singh.

    For performance, the range supports up to 2GB RAM and 32GB storage, ensuring smooth navigation and app usage. To make the smart shift easier on the wallet, Dish TV is offering Rs 0 down payment and 0 per cent EMI financing options.

    The VZY Smart TV range will hit retail shelves nationwide and will also be available through online platforms, reaching metros as well as Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets.

    With this move, Dish TV isn’t just selling a new screen, it’s making a play to own the living room once again, this time with a smarter, sleeker, and more immersive avatar.
