BRIDGE Technologies CEO, Rolf Ollmar highlighted the pitfalls and challenges facing the industry in the transmission of broadcast video over IP. His speech was part of the IBC2006 program entitled "IPTV - programme delivery that does not cost a packet" session. Rolf’s contribution explained the technical issues involved and outlined the solutions that can ensure content integrity despite the inherently hostile environment IP networks present.

His speech, aptly named "Testing IPTV delivery from the Headend to the home" underscored the fact that pro-active monitoring throughout the network chain is the only way to combat jitter, latency and consequential media loss.
