The presentations cover topics such as Hybrid Live Production Workflows, IP Infrastructure, NMOS-Based Systems, Interoperability, Aligning Flows and Channels, and The Dynamic Media Facility.

The key trends shaping the future of IP media workflows, as presented at the IP Showcase on the Water event during IBC2025, include the evolution of IP media workflows with a focus on dynamic media facilities, cloud collaboration, increased interoperability, and automation across live video workflows.

The growing impact of dynamic media facilities, which enable more flexible and scalable media production environments, was a significant highlight. The continued importance of cloud and hybrid infrastructure to break free from costly hardware cycles and enable smarter, more sustainable post-production workflows was also emphasized.

Innovations in automating content acquisition, switching, and contribution, simplifying workflows and enhancing scalability, were another key focus. Expanded interoperability and streamlining of live video workflows, including new technologies like zero latency frame thinning to improve streaming over congested networks and mobile apps turning smartphones into IP cameras and encoders, were also highlighted.

The integration of AI and advanced IP video infrastructure solutions to support reliable, secure, and cost-effective live video delivery across various platforms and networks was another critical direction discussed.
