As an emerging leader in 8K technology, LG\u2019s 8K TVs also have the distinction of surpassing the resolution measurement criteria as set forth in the Information Display Measurements Standard (IDMS) established by the respected International Committee for Display Metrology (ICDM) which says that the stated resolution of a display does not depend on only meeting or exceeding\u00a0a specific\u00a0number\u00a0of pixels, but\u00a0also on whether those pixels can be\u00a0adequately distinguished\u00a0from one another in order to deliver the stated resolution.
\nThe ICDM has defined the Contrast Modulation (CM)\u00a0measurement\u00a0which describes accurately and quantitatively how\u00a0distinguishable the neighboring\u00a0pixels are from each another.\u00a0For any TV display to deliver the resolution indicated by its pixel count, the ICDM requires the minimum CM value to exceed a threshold of 25 percent for images and 50 percent for text. An 8K TV with a CM value that is lower than these required thresholds does not deliver real 8K, even though the TV may in fact have the sufficient number (7,680 x 4,320) of pixels. Tests performed in accordance with these universally-referenced industry standards resulted in both LG SIGNATURE OLED 8K and LG 8K NanoCell TVs achieving CM values in the 90 percent range, guaranteeing that viewers will be able to actually experience all of the additional detail in the 8K content when viewed on their LG 8K televisions.
\nLG\u2019s 8K TVs stun with lavish detail and vibrant, lifelike colors that stand as testament to LG\u2019s unrivaled display technology. As the world\u2019s first 8K OLED TV not to mention LG\u2019s largest OLED TV to date, the 88-inch LG SIGNATURE OLED 8K TV (model 88Z9) delivers 8K Ultra HD resolution (7,680 x 4,320) with 33 million self-emitting pixels, equivalent to 16-times the number of pixels in a Full HD TV and four-times that of a UHD TV. A winner of this year\u2019s iF Design Award and Red Dot Award, LG SIGNATURE OLED 8K boasts a sophisticated, minimalist design that features a brushed aluminum stand and a virtually bezel-less display, and comes with an integrated 80W speaker system for powerful sound.
\nLG\u2019s 75-inch 8K NanoCell TV also delivers a total immersive experience thanks to an 8K picture with impressive color, contrast and detail. LG\u2019s Nano Display technology renders stunningly sharp images on a truly grand scale. Nano Color filters out impurities to enhance color reproduction and Nano Black \u2013 advanced Full Array Local Dimming Pro technology optimized for 8K \u2013 precisely controls the TV\u2019s back lighting for deeper blacks and greater contrast.
\nBoth 8K TVs boast effective 8K up scaling and improved noise reduction, upgraded from four- to up to six-steps. The result is a seamless 8K picture when converting content from native 4K (3,840 x 2,160) or Full HD (1,920 x 1,080). This first-class performance is enhanced by LG\u2019s second-generation \u03b1 (Alpha) 9 Gen 2 8K intelligent processor. LG\u2019s advanced chip elevates picture and sound quality using deep learning technology and access to an extensive database, enabling it to recognize source quality and optimize any kind of content. The \u03b19 Gen 2 8K also analyzes ambient conditions to achieve the perfect level of screen brightness at all times.

Rich, resonant audio complements the stellar visual output of the TVs to further enhance viewer immersion. An intelligent algorithm can up-mix two-channel audio to virtual 5.1 surround sound, supplying a three-dimensional soundscape that brings movies, music and sporting events roaring to life. The TVs are also WiSA Ready for wireless home theater with uncompressed 16-bit audio on up to 5.1 channels; an outstanding way to experience the dynamic, crystal-clear sound of Dolby Atmos. To guarantee memorable, cinematic viewing sessions, LG 8K OLED TV and 8K NanoCell TV feature Cinema HDR, encompassing support for Dolby Vision and Advanced HDR by Technicolor up to 4K and HLG and HDR 10 up to 8K.LG has also future-proofed its 8K TVs by providing four ports that support HDMI 2.1 specifications, which will allow viewers to enjoy 8K content at 60 frames per second. LG 8K TVs are also compatible with automatic low latency mode (ALLM), variable refresh rate (VRR) and enhanced audio return channel (eARC). For even greater convenience, both the 88Z9 and 75SM99 models will support Apple AirPlay 2 and HomeKit, and be available in over 140 markets.
\nIn select markets these TVs offer built-in versions of the Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, providing easy voice control of the TV and connected smart devices and making it simple for users to get the information they want.

The thing that is specific to streaming itself is that data is transmitted continuously, which allows the end user to immediately start to listen and/or watch the content in real time. The first live stream in the world came from a garage band called Severe Tire Damage back in 1993. They actually live-streamed of their Xerox PARC performance over the Internet. The first\u00a0 live-streamed baseball game came two years later, on the Real Networks website. However, the first continuous regular streaming is attributed to World magazine, which officially launched the service in 1995, the widely accepted milestone. This magazine was the first to play music online, although not live (-streamed), but instead pre-recorded. This first attempt focused on audio because it does not require so much technical stuff like video does, which was solved by enabling faster connection speeds. Streaming radio is actually a pioneer in the commercial streaming arena.
\nHowever, before that, video streaming also saw its first steps in the 1990s. The first video broadcast (stream) took place in 1996 \u2013 the Tibetan Freedom event. Even US President Bill Clinton used it for events that were taking place in municipalities. Shortly thereafter, when YouTube was launched in 2005, streaming became particularly popular.
\nToday the term live streaming is often used in the wrong context. The best example of this is using YouTube or Netflix, as well as many other commercial streaming sources, which actually represent on-demand streaming. Here users can listen or watch content they pick on their own, while live streaming is possible only at one particular moment, in real time, as the event is happening. In this regard, live streaming is possible only if there are video cameras and microphones at the event.
\n![\"\"](\"https://www.seebtm.com/wp-content/uploads/bigstock-182109736.jpg\")
This technology is nowadays widely used in planning myriad events. You must have found yourself some time in a situation where you wanted to go to a concert, but the tickets were sold out; you needed to attend an important meeting, but it was taking place on another
\ncontinent; you were invited to be a speaker on a panel, but you could not get out of work because you had too many things to do. All this is solvable today thanks to the option of live streaming.
A number of event planners turned to this simple and accessible tool in modern-day communication. The reasons are manifold: the event is more appealing because the audience is bigger, it does not require physical presence, and it can be viewed on any smart device (we all have at least one of those ![\"\u263a\"](\"https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/263a.png\")
) or computer. All you need is an internet connection!
As already mentioned, live streaming, of course, requires video cameras. The new-generation video cameras, the so-called 360 video cameras, allow you to literally be in virtual reality. What distinguishes them from other, older models is the fact that you can see everything that is happening or being done or spoken at the event and feel like you are really there and present. They are placed in the room where the event takes place, and the cameras mounted on all four sides allow the viewers to literally walk around the room and the look around as if they were present, turning their heads to the left or right, up or down. You have to admit this is quite impressive…
\n![\"\"](\"https://www.seebtm.com/wp-content/uploads/bigstock-Business-Technology-Internet-177397807.jpg\")
If the cameras are placed in the best possible corner that is available at the time, the viewers have a better overview of the entire event. This means that they actually see as
\nmuch as you allow them. Ideally, this would be the spot with the best view and where all the action takes place. Sometimes this can be the middle of the room, but if your event has several segments that run simultaneously, you can set up a number of cameras that would transmit what is happening in each individual segment. This will allow the viewers to choose which segment of the event they want to watch. However, as much as this may sound appealing (as it undoubtedly is! ), here\u2019s a piece of advice: using multiple cameras requires more video upload, which can hamper access for those who want to watch.
Truth be told, the 360\u00b0 video technology is still a relatively new phenomenon that has only recently started to be used more widely, meaning that these cameras are currently on the expensive side. However, if you do have the funds this can most certainly serve as a great opportunity for event managers to push the envelope when it comes to event planning.
\nOn the other side, the development of technology brought about some light options that are available today \u2013 cheaper ways to watch an event, listen to a speech, or feel the mood in real time, so we have to mention here Facebook\u2019s relatively new LIVE feature. This feature enables you to use the camera on your smartphone to live-stream conferences, promotions, and the like, the mood or key moments at an event.

Other cheaper livestreaming option is Instagram Live video that is released at the end of November last year. This is part of Instagram Stories, launched in August 2016 and today
\nis daily used by 100 milion people. The thing with Instagram Live video is that is only possible in real time. So, when broadcasting is over, it is not possible to replay it again. Using live streaming on social networks has become part of marketing strategies in big companies.
\nWant to know why? One of the thing is that Live option is very often used in communication with target groups now days. It is a great tool to invite and engage the audience in interaction. By companies deciding to do this, they are making and establishing very bold and strong relationships with the consumers making them feel they are on disposal all the
\ntime for them.
All things considered, the modern day users and participants in events expect to have all information and options available online, and at least part of the content via live stream. And this trend will only grow bigger in the future.

\nNowadays people are very busy. We can say that in some cases they don\u2019t have enough time to do all the things from a planner scheduled for a particular day. This has led to an inability to participate at some events, such as conferences, congresses or seminars which could be very useful for their job.

Thanks to the development of technology and its application in the organization of events, this is changing, through various kinds of virtual events, such as hybrid events.
\nGood to know
\nWhen organizing this type of event it is important to have several things on mind. At first place it is the content.
\nAfter you determine what will be the topics of the event and the sessions, you have to decide which audience will participate at the event. During the time of the event it is very important to know when to include online participants, and when will the in-person participants have meetings, discussions, etc.
\nEven if everything is arranged and works before the beginning of the event, organizer should still have a crisis plan. This plan has to cover every least thing that could go wrong, and a list of solutions for all possible problems.
\nOrganizers of hybrid events should be good informed and to know how to use interactive tools and platforms for live streaming, after the choosing the streaming company. They should also give instructions and to train moderators and speakers to address the cameras, actually\u00a0to online audience, as often as they do it to the in-person audience.

Also, it is very important that the online participants are acknowledge, which means than when welcoming in person participants, speaker or moderator should look at the camera and address to them too.
\nOne more way to include all participants in the event is to use social media, where online and in person participants can comment and share their impressions. Using of social media is a good way and for the interaction between all participants. Interaction can be done and through streaming platforms and through online communities.
\nLike mentioned, with the right tools, all participants can be involved in certain activity, such as asking questions, or conducting surveys, etc.
\nTime is one more important aspect of the hybrid event, considering that some online participant would like to be active only in some part of the event, so you have to be punctual and follow the previously program which all participants have.
\nEngagement of both types of participants is also important, so presentations should be interesting and not too long, in order keep them involved.
\nAt the end, organization of hybrid events is a trend which will have bigger impact on the event organization in the future, thanks to the constant development of the technology. For participants, who are not able to come on the site of event, online participation is a great chance to learn new things and find out new information.

Hashtags are most often seen on Twitter, where they make most sense, although it also has a role in searching or reaching a specific target audience, mood, or key moments on other social media (Instagram, Facebook).
\nWhat are hashtags for?
\nUsing these tags is the easiest way to join in on an issue, discussion, or trend \u2013 regardless of where you are or whether you are invited.
\nWhether it is a sports event or another kind of competition, you can share your impressions and observations, as well as monitor comments made by all who typed the hashtag relating to the event.
\nThe same applies to discussing a new movie or TV show, some political or economic event or a celebrity. It can mean literally anything that you\u2019re interested in.
\nFor example, while I\u2019m writing this article, one of the topics and hashtags trending on Twitter is #KalamSir. At the moment, people from all over the world who admire the late ex-President of India APJ Abdul Kalam are honouring him by using this hashtag.
\nIn the event industry, you can use hashtags to keep up with events, impressions, and comments at all congresses, meetings, or seminars that are taking place in real time, just by using the tag for the event. You can also share your own experience or impressions, if you\u2019re involved in an event.

In addition, you can keep up with trends and news in MICE tourism and business travel from around the globe by monitoring the appropriate hashtags.\u00a0 More importantly, you can join in.
\nFor example, if you\u2019re interested in hotels or news and trends in MICE tourism from South-East Europe, all you need to do is to type in the search field #KongresniTurizam and you\u2019ll get a list of all postings or tweets that contain this hashtag. The search engine cannot discern capitalised and non-capitalised letters, so you won\u2019t make a mistake if you sometime type out the word differently.
\nNumbers can also be included in hashtags, and the event industry usually uses them to designate the year in which the event is taking place (#confex15, #IMEX15). However, punctuation marks are not supported, so you can forget about quotes, exclamations, or the like.
