Name
Innovation Lab: From Idea to Field Testing in Live Production and Back Again
Date & Time
Wednesday, November 18, 2026, 10:00 AM - 10:30 AM
Description
Abstract: Quick innovation requires shorter feedback cycles. Learn how CBC/Radio-Canada is building a DMF-aligned infrastructure that uses real-world production challenges to directly influence DMF and MXL committees work. Traditionally, media exchange protocols take years to mature. We are breaking that mold by deploying prototype specifications directly into active live production environments. This agile approach allows us to test proposed solutions on a rapid cycle, providing the committees with invaluable, real-world feedback at a pace that was never before possible.
Key Takeaways:
- Agile Infrastructure: Building DMF-aligned systems that can immediately adapt to and test evolving specifications.
- The Rapid Feedback Loop: Translating daily live production problems into actionable proposals for the DMF and MXL committees.
- Real-World Validation: Deploying prototype standards into live environments to accelerate the innovation pipeline.
