The ABU Continues to Educate Members on Hybrid Broadcasting

摘要

ABU Technology, in collaboration with the Asia-Pacific Institute for Broadcasting Development (AIBD), organised a regional workshop on Over-The-Top (OTT) and Integrated Broadcast Broadband (IBB) technologies and services, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, from 29 September to 1 October 2015. The workshop was the third in a series on IBB and OTT Technologies and Services, which started in November 2013. The workshop, like its predecessors, addressed hybrid technologies that are of significant interest to all broadcasters and discussed the challenges, which the broadcasters face in planning and implementing IBB services. At this latest workshop, attended by 63 participants from 15 countries, 26 organisations were represented, 22 of which were ABU members. Throughout the series so far the ABU, through its partnerships, has attracted a host of industry speakers, together with several speakers from the Union's broadcast membership, and on this occasion the speakers were from Fraunhofer IIS; NHK; Media Prima; Sony; Dolby; Thinking Tub; EMC~2 Isilon; TRT and Digital LabTV.
