CONFERENCE
OVERVIEW
STORAGE FOR THE CONTENT CREATION, CONTENT DISTRIBUTION
AND CONSUMER ELECTRONICS INDUSTRIES
In many regards data storage now serves the role once held
by the printing press. It makes vast amounts of information,
entertainment and communication available to the bulk of mankind.
Like the books of old the networked data storage world is
the repository of our modern civilization. This new one-day
conference will focus on storage and technology that services
the creation of human content, its distribution, and reception
in our modern networked world. Our intention is to bring together
people, organizations, and companies that are a part of this
data content food chain. Topics and products to be addressed
are:
- Content
creation and distribution requirements and products
- Content
protection, DRM, and archiving
- Set-top
boxes and personal video recorders
- Home
media centers
- Portable
storage systems
- Mobile
device market and requirements
- Storage
system products and components
- Storage
system roadmaps for various markets
- Data
storage and multimedia market and technology analysis
- Commercial

The
conference also provides a unique environment for networking
with a diverse and important group of corporate officers,
analysts, and professionals that will be shaping the future
of human content and the distribution of contemporary civilization.

HG PANELS
(Revised)
A-4: IP Settops for Cable, Telco, and Satellite
In the past 36 months, the MPEG4 technology has moved
from standards committees to product development and deployment.
Holding the promise of distributing rich media and video over
a fraction of bandwidth needed by MPEG2 and established IP
formats, MPEG4 offers new opportunities previously not available.
Yet critics state that MPEG4 has little chance to challenge
MPEG2 in digital STBs. Find out what the experts think and
are actually doing.
The Home Gateway (HG) has generated major excitement since
CES 2001, and both Motorola and Scientific-Atlanta have announced
HG models from Moxi. Will HGs see faster adoptions than PVRs,
which are still struggling to reach one million units worldwide
by the end of 2002? Will consumers prefer VOD? Will people
buy HGs for their storage capabilities or for their easy access
to on-demand content services? Or for their improved networking
capabilities to other music and video devices in other rooms?
Find out what these experts see as pros and cons for system
operators (cable, satellite, digital terrestrial and telco).
B-2: U.S. PVRs vs. VOD
Who wins the race to provide integrated media storage
services in the home: The central service device (such as
a networked VOD service) or client-side services (such as
that provided by PVR/DVR suppliers)? Or will it be the DVD-R
manufacturers who provide low-cost DVD-Rs?
B-3 DRM and Content Security
Content security and Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology
make up some of the most hotly debated issues in today’s
consumer product markets. Who will determine how the consumer
can use a purchased copy of a movie, album or TV program?
Should content owners be able to freely copy content digitally
from one format (such as DVD) to a PVR or MP3 player (for
mobile use)? How relevant is the famous Betamax Case (1984),
which allows users to make (analog) copies for their own use?
Since analog copies degrade on each generation of copying—and
digital copies don’t—do we need new laws to govern
digital copying?
Which technology is better suited to protect digital content
“in the clear”—Firewire (IEEE 1394) or HDMI?
Which one will work best to protect digital copies from illegal
Internet distribution—Watermarking? Restriction of analog-only
outputs? Conditional Access? And what impact will PVRs have
in driving new security technology in home servers?
These and other relevant technical and legal issues promise
a lively and informative discussion.
