More than 41,000 professionals from 170 countries and over 1,300 exhibiting companies gathered on 11-14 September 2026 at RAI Amsterdam for IBC 2026<\/b><\/a> (International Broadcasting Convention), Europe’s leading event for video and media technology. The technologies showcased here typically reach corporate meeting rooms, control rooms and streaming studios within a few years. DAAC digital attended Amsterdam to track these shifts from the perspective of the projects it delivers in Moldova and the region.<\/p>\n

AI becomes a working tool in video<\/h5>\n

Organizers placed practical AI applications at the center of the exhibition and conference program. The show floor featured platforms that automate video editing, automatic translation and localization systems with voice cloning and lip-sync, and indexing solutions that identify faces, objects and lines of dialogue across thousands of hours of footage.<\/p>\n

The same logic is reaching the corporate world. Transcription, subtitling and automatic translation of meetings, AI-generated summaries and search across recording archives are becoming standard features of videoconferencing platforms.<\/p>\n

Video over IP and cloud: shared infrastructure<\/h5>\n

The second pillar of this year’s edition was the shift to IP- and cloud-based workflows. By combining cloud infrastructure with private 5G networks, teams can produce complex live broadcasts from different locations through secure web applications.<\/p>\n

The same transition is happening in meeting rooms and control rooms. Audio-video signals increasingly travel over IP networks rather than dedicated cabling, which simplifies scaling and centralized management. The condition is a properly sized network, storage and security infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Future Tech Ignite: solutions coming from start-ups<\/h5>\n

In the Future Tech zone in Hall 14, IBC this year launched the Future Tech Ignite programme, bringing together more than 70 start-ups and emerging companies with investors and established industry players. The programme’s innovation partner was EIT Culture & Creativity, part of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology.<\/p>\n

Key themes included content authenticity and provenance, in a landscape dominated by deepfakes, and virtual production made accessible to small teams.<\/p>\n

DAAC digital at IBC 2026<\/h5>\n

Iulian Condur, Sales Director at DAAC digital, visited the booths and presentation sessions of Dell Technologies, Cisco and Microsoft, vendors from the company’s portfolio. He also held meetings and presentations with partners Minerva Networks and ATEME, companies specializing in TV platforms and video delivery solutions.<\/p>\n

At the same time, in Amsterdam DAAC digital initiated relationships with Recombee, CryptoGuard, dzjinius and CDNetworks. These companies cover personalized content recommendations, content access protection, video production management and delivery over CDN networks.<\/p>\n

\u201e<\/em>I came back from IBC 2026 with one clear conclusion: we are on the verge of an unprecedented technological shift. Among the more than 41,000 professionals and 1,300 exhibitors at RAI Amsterdam, it became clear that the move from theory to real-world implementation is happening faster than ever, driven by advances in applied AI and next-generation broadcasting infrastructure. The Future Tech pavilion showcased prototypes that will soon become industry standards“<\/em>, said Iulian Condur.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
