Beyond HD: The Future As Seen From IBC2012

摘要

When you go to a trade exhibition in the midst of what we are constantly being told is a serious global economic recession, you don't expect to find that it is bigger and better attended than it was a year ago. But so it proved at this year's IBC, held in Amsterdam in September, and which boasted no fewer than fourteen huge exhibition halls - one more than a year ago - all apparently filled to capacity with manufacturers' stands. There was also an extensive outdoor area exhibiting a range of outside broadcast, electronic newsgather-ing and satellite uplink vehicles, all of which attracted a record attendance - in excess of 50,000, slightly up on last year - across its five days.
