TM Broadcast International, #26 September 2015
At IBC 2015 Nautel had good-quality traffic visiting the stand and our personnel were able to meet with broadcasters from many different countries that would have been difficult to see on an individual basis.
Fred Baumgartner, Nautel’s TV Product Manager, noted that the most interesting thing internationally was Korea’s announced adoption of the ATSC 3.0 standard. 3.0 is a far more efficient and capable TV transmission standard than the current North American ATSC and even DVB-T2, etc. ATSC 3.0 is in the final stages of the standards process with release anticipated as early as first quarter 2016. ATSC 3.0 does mobile better, supports UHD TV, includes immersive sound, and some interactive and advanced advertising features. You can expect that Nautel will be deeply involved in this first roll out of the new television standard. Learn more about Nautel TV at www.nauteltv.com
A number of meetings were held in the stand regarding significant tenders and opportunities in the region. Of note were several meetings with broadcasters looking to explore Nautel’s HD Radio offerings as possible solutions for their migration to digital broadcasting.
Nautel held an exciting DRM event “New Developments in DRM Transmitter Technology” in the booth on the Saturday of IBC that was well attended. Sergei Sokolov of Digiton Systems, Nautel’s agent in Russia, shared some good information on DRM receivers from Russia.
