These two facts are what, according to the IABM Charting the Uncharted report, are causing a sectorial polarization towards the digital,
revaluing companies that have already partially or totally initiated this transition and punishing those who lag behind, who now seek in
many cases to recover the trust of a more informed consumer with more options through an irrevocable technological investment that, in
some cases, could be the difference between continuity or termination of business. To this forced investment we must add another one

pragmatic it allows us to be.
2020 is the year in which, in the face of an uncertain global context, we are not committed to investing in the most cutting-edge or
imaginative technology on the market, but rather in the one that allows us to be increasingly productive and efficient with increasingly
tighter budgets. Other of the most sought-after characteristics are the focus on the user and the capacity to open new business
opportunities.
The entire value chain of the Broadcast & Media industry has adjusted to this new reality, and where before there was, for example, room
to prioritize image quality or additional free services that would improve the user experience, now the search is more focused on systems
and advances that would, for example, increase advertising revenues, improve remote production or assist in consumer retention.
This pattern, coupled with uncertainty about the future, has also led to a shift in the timing and scope of investments, resulting in

This change has naturally had a domino effect on media technology providers, who have seen their large one-off revenues from
hardware-based or legacy systems diminish or become recurrent as they adjust their offerings to SaaS models, a trend that seems to be
a priority for the years to come. For users, this trend also implies a greater dependency and relationship with their Internet service
providers and a reconsideration of the technology they can develop in-house to fulfill some of their needs.

while at the beginning of the year a rise in the broadcast technology market of about 1.5% was expected, GMVR’s current forecast now
estimates a fall of almost 10% (about 5,800 million USD).
All parts of the content supply chain have experienced a decline in revenue, but segments closer to consumers have fared better than
others. In these more profitable segments, investment or expense levels have not declined as much as anticipated at the beginning of the
year as in other parts of the chain. Let’s finally examine each part of the chain to also discover how VSN’s solutions and products can assist
users in each of them:
On the production side, remote editing, remote workflow solutions, IP technology and graphics systems have increased sales, along with
As an example, the VSNExplorer MAM platform allows remote editing flows, since it is capable of receiving ingest signals remotely
through its web portal, previewing and editing with Wedit to add the cuts we want to the timeline and sending the content to multiple
platforms, including social networks, YouTube or the VSN NewsConnect web plugin if it is news content, as well as exporting the EDL (edit
Content management
Content and workflow management solutions with process automation, as well as digital storage and archive systems have best withstood
the situation. Above all, because they have allowed companies to maximize the use of their assets and resources and also to have
better and faster access to content files in an era when new productions were stopped in their tracks.
And proof of this is VSNExplorer MAM, our content management platform, which allows, among other things, to preserve content in any
digital storage and even to take advantage of its automatic metadata detection technology that integrates several Artificial
Intelligence engines.

VSN systems can contribute a lot in this sense, since they can conform end-to-end flows for distribution and monetization with
