Themed ‘Next-Gen Media Space and the Connected World’, the coming ABU Digital Broadcasting Symposium will gather broadcasters and industry leaders from the Asia-Pacific and around the world to dicuss common issues and problems.
‘Arguably, the most profound influence that the broadcasters will witness is the use of smart apps to capture content of choice on smart display devices,’ says ABU Director Technology Sharad Sadhu.
The event will offer presentations, panel discussions, webinar and workshops, with exhibitions showcasing the latest broadcasting products and services.
The Digital Radio Mondiale Consortium (DRM) is the Principal Sponsor, with Harris, WorldDMB Forum, Sony, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission, Grass Valley and Snell as Major Sponsors. In addition, the Institut Penyiaran dan Penerangan Tun Abdul Razak (IPPTAR), the media training institute of the Ministry of Information, Communication and Culture of the Government of Malaysia, is a Co-Sponsor of the Symposium.
After rhe 2012 symposium attracted more than 1,000 participants from the Asia- Pacific region and beyond, Sadhu says he is pleased with the level of interest prompted by the ninth Digital Broadcasting Symposium: ‘Top broadcasting industry players are supporting symposium as principal and major sponsors,’ he says.
