Cable-Tec Expo Discusses Opportunities in NextGen TV

摘要

Presenters at last month's virtual SCTE-ISBE Cable-Tec Expo 2020 discussed a pair of ATSC 3.0-relat-ed issues of importance to cable operators, including the technical considerations of transitioning headend operations as broadcasters begin to take on NextGen TV and the opportunities the new broadcast standard offers to deliver enhanced TV viewing experiences. During the "Developments in HDR, IP Video Workflows, and ATSC 3.0 Audio Accessibility" session, Mark Francisco, Comcast technology fellow, set the stage for his discussion of descriptive audio by explaining the size of the need and the opportunity to both do good and benefit financially by better serving audience members with disabilities.
