    Grass Valley, a Belden Brand, will showcase the recently launched Karrera K-Frame S-series Video Production Center and other solutions designed to keep customers future-ready in booth #1015 at the Content and Communications World (CCW) Expo. In addition to product displays, Grass Valley experts will be on hand to talk about IP migration, 4K/UHD and other trends impacting broadcast workflow.

    “This year’s CCW Expo comes at a particularly exciting time for broadcasters, content owners and service providers as the pace of technology introduction and adoption accelerates across facilities and formats,” said Mike Cronk, senior vice president of strategic marketing, Grass Valley. “At CCW Expo, customers will learn how Grass Valley’s differentiating combination of products, expertise and experience can meet their needs today and prepare them for the opportunities of tomorrow.”

    In the area of baseband-to-IP migration, Grass Valley leverages Belden’s legacy of working with enterprise and industrial connectivity customers as they made the transition to IP. Similarly, Grass Valley offers broadcasters a uniquely open IP migration path driven by SDN-enabled control that seamlessly supports hybrid SDI/IP signal environments. At the CCW Expo, Grass Valley will sponsor a general session panel discussion titled, “The IP-Based Facility: Is It For You? If So, When?” on November 13 at 9 a.m. This panel will take place in Javits Convention Center, Room 1A23, and will discuss the move to full IP infrastructure in the years ahead.

    Is “Glicked” The New “Barbenheimer”? “Wicked” and “Gladiator II” Hit Theater Screens

    Thursday, November 21, 2024

    "Barbenheimer" was a phenomenon impossible to manufacture. But, more than a year later, that hasn't stopped people from trying to make "Glicked" — or even "Babyratu" — happen.

    The counterprogramming of "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer" in July 2023 hit a nerve culturally and had the receipts to back it up. Unlike so many things that begin as memes, it transcended its online beginnings. Instead of an either-or, the two movies ultimately complemented and boosted one another at the box office.

    And ever since, moviegoers, marketers and meme makers have been trying to recreate that moment, searching the movie release schedule for odd mashups and sending candidates off into the social media void. Most attempts have fizzled (sorry, "Saw Patrol" ).

    This weekend is perhaps the closest approximation yet as the Broadway musical adaptation "Wicked" opens Friday against the chest-thumping sword-and-sandals epic "Gladiator II." Two big studio releases (Universal and Paramount), with one-name titles, opposite tones and aesthetics and big blockbuster energy — it was already halfway there before the name game began: "Wickiator," "Wadiator," "Gladwick" and even the eyebrow raising "Gladicked" have all been suggested.

    "'Glicked' rolls off the tongue a little bit more," actor Fred Hechinger said at the New York screening of "Gladiator II" this week. "I think we should all band around 'Glicked.' It gets too confusing if you have four or five different names for it."

    As with "Barbenheimer," as reductive as it might seem, "Glicked" also has the male/female divide that make the fan art extra silly. One is pink and bright and awash in sparkles, tulle, Broadway bangers and brand tie-ins; The other is all sweat and sand, blood and bulging... Read More
