Simon Parnall of Cisco’s Service Provider Video Technology Group demonstrates what TV experiences could be like in the coming years. “One of our visions for content is that we need to break away from the 16 by 9 frame that we’ve grown used to throughout our lives,” he said.
At IBC 2012, Nick Thexton, CTO of Cisco’s Service Provider Video Technology Group, shares some his thoughts on the synergies taking place within his new organization and offers a glimpse into the future of television.
