Presentation about Market Sizing

We present our methodology for estimating 2005-2007 broadcast market size: either servers or automation or DAM software for instance.

It is based on actual deals, but also on the current situation and recent implementations, and projects covering server based playout, sport production, news production, and other production.

We have compiled a list of TV-channels in the world from various sources.

We complete interviews for the most important premium channel groups, and we use a panel of interviews for other categories of channels (national syndication, national independent, regional syndication, regional independent, international syndication, international independent).
We have identified 5 different size of installations for playout, 3 sizes for production (sports, news, other).
