Squeezebox

Squeezebox

BBC R&D's Responsive Radio project created a duration slider for the audience which allowed them to adjust the duration of a documentary. Squeezebox brings the same control to production teams, allowing content to be instantly re-edited to new durations.

Our Vision of the Future

Our Vision of the Future

We will continue to lead the way in the development of a new broadcasting system with storytelling and IP at its core.

Snackable News

Snackable News

Often people feel that news stories aren't relevant to them. News consumers are increasingly using mobile devices to get content. It is even harder to reach and engage younger audiences with news stories. Here we present the journey at creating the first of several prototypes tackling the concept of atomised content to deliver tailored, relevant news.

IP Studio

IP Studio

We're building a model for end-to-end broadcasting that will allow a live studio to run entirely on IP networks. IP Studio is also the backbone to enable new types of content experiences for audiences. R&D Engineer Alex Rawcliffe gives us a tour of the gallery.
