iStudio Monitoring and DTV Transmission

Digital TV has expanded the offerings of many program providers. With the increased number of programs comes the need for new monitoring strategies in the master control environment. There is a need for simultaneous viewing of a array of programs that vary in content and significance over time. The iStudio provides a method for flexible monitoring arrangements using high quality large screen displays. These displays may be easily rearranged to meet changing requirements. Jim Durant, Regional Sales Manager for Barco Communication Systems will demonstrate the iStudio and discuss its application in broadcast and distribution environments. Jim will also discuss current applications in transmission and transport of digital video signals.
