Brought to you by: TV Technology Magazine serving the Broadcast, Production, Broadband, Satellite and Mobile Markets Today's Top Stories - 03.31.15 Deborah McAdams - Executive Editor   Quote of the Day: "I believe in getting into hot water. It keeps you clean." ~ G.K. Chesterton On this Day: In 1951, the first commercial computer accepted for use by the U.S. Census Bureau. 2015 NAB Show Redefines Itself One of the bigger trends expected to be discussed at the show is over-the-top video delivery, or OTT, which is serving as both an opportunity and challenge for when it comes to which platforms to choose and what kind of content to deliver. NAB 2015 Satellite & Remote Product Preview Delivery is "à la carte" these days, as options expand for content contribution. But satellite is as popular as ever, increasingly using IP inputs. Bonded cellular systems continue to gain traction. Social media has become the new norm in many fields, with contribution tools for that here as well. In short, the contribution "backpack" continues to shrink, and this year's show will be very busy.
