During NAB 2010 MPEGIF will be presenting the next in the widely
acclaimed MasterClass series held each year at NAB, IBC and CES and will
also be holding the next 3D Working Group meeting.
On Wednesday April 14th from 9:00am to 12:00pm the MPEGIF NAB
MasterClass titled “New Dimensions for Digital Television” (http://www.mpegif.org/exhibitions/NAB2010/Index.php)
will be held in the Las Vegas Convention Center in Room 234 and will
bring together executives from service operators, programmers and
technology providers to share their experiences in developing and
launching new services including 3D television. Following its inaugural
meeting during CES 2010, the MPEGIF 3DTV Working Group, founded by
MPEGIF members Motorola, Harmonic, dicas, NetLogic, TDVision and
Mainconcept, will hold its next monthly meeting at NAB from 12:00noon –
1:00 in Room 234. The 3D Working Group meeting is open to the press as
well as both members and non-members of the MPEGIF.
“At the same time as 3D TV is trying to gain a foothold in the living
room bringing a dramatically new television experience to the consumer,
we are still seeing inferior video quality and audio/video synch
problems crop up everywhere,” said David Price, Vice President MPEGIF
and Vice President at Harmonic Inc. “MPEGIF members are actively rising
to these challenges and the NAB MasterClass at NAB2010 will explore
these issues head-on and will feature executives from our industry that
have a track record of knowing what they are talking about.”
“3DTV has arrived and is certainly here to stay becoming a standard
feature in the overall landscape of next generation TV and video
consumption. Surely, there will be teething problems, but NAB is a
fabulous setting with an outstanding conference and exhibition to
address and present solutions to these challenges,” said Prof. Dr. h. c.
Sebastian Moeritz, President MPEGIF and CEO at dicas. “Through
participating and at NAB 2010 our MPEGIF members are tremendously
contributing to progress and growth of our industry.”
