DTV Marketplace
Mar 1, 2003 12:00 PM
The NAB show is a gathering place for broadcasters wanting to learn more about their industry. Not only does it provide the opportunity to see new technology firsthand, but it also offers attendees the chance to get together and have questions answered on technology and policy. For instance, at the FCC Chairman’s Breakfast, Chairman Powell and Sam Donaldson will discuss issues facing broadcasters, including the FCC’s ownership proceeding and the digital transition. Another source of answers is the Regulatory Face-Off, moderated by John Cochran of ABC News, where FCC Commissioners and the NTIA Secretary of Commerce’s tackle broadcasting issues.
Attendees can also take advantage of a number of conferences targeted specifically to their needs, whether their area is broadcast, television management or multimedia.
And of course, at the center of NAB is the technology. Vendors come from all across the country to display new solutions and updated favorites, giving broadcasters the chance to shop for a wide range of new tools for their stations.
Every year, the Broadcast Engineering staff provides comprehensive coverage to help our readers make the most of the annual chaos.
First, we announce the winners of our second annual Excellence Awards competition. These facilities will be recognized at NAB 2003 for their achievement as a network facility, automation facility, new facility, audio facility, RF facility, or new studio.
Next, our FASTtrack section makes navigation easier. This year’s show is losing the Sands Hall, but gaining space in the new South Hall. That means attendees have a lot of ground to cover, and the myriad of sights and sounds on the show floor can sometimes be overwhelming. The FASTtrack section is organized to help attendees find their way right to the vendors they want to see – whether they are looking for routers or cameras. Vendors are divided into categories, and then listed geographically for quick reference.
Finally, our DTV Marketplace puts this year’s offerings into perspective. Browse more than 60 pages of products and photos (our biggest listing yet!) to build your shopping list.
