Chronique D’un été by Jean Rouch
Cinema Verité – where reality is filmed and conversations are real. Nothing is meant to be set up. It has it’s roots in anthropological studies.
One of the advantages of going to IBC is that you get to play with toys like the N96. I did this at the Nokia Ovi stand. They were demonstrating the possibilities of OVI as well as DVB-H. DVB-H is one method of getting live television broadcasts to the phone using a different part of spectrum than usual GSM.
The number of channels is limited to BBC HD, CNN and a few more channels. The video plays well and the accelerometers know whether the phone is held vertical or horizontal.
In Switzerland we saw a push for DVB-H phones during the Euro 2008, hoping that this event would encourage people to use the technology.
We’ll see how long it takes for other countries to use DVB-H for their celluar phones.
