SYMPOSIUM THEME Next-Gen Media Space and the Connected World Major Sponsors In the connected world, Connected TV, enhanced OTT, use of 3G for video, mobile broadcasting and content via Smart Apps have put new devices in the hands of the consumers, generating demand for innovative services. Some of the new system standards are now being set by the manufacturers or by closed groups of industry players that may give rise to accessibility concerns. Arguably, the most profound influence that the broadcasters will witness is the use of Smart Apps to capture content of choice on Smart display devices. This compels content providers to devise an entirely different arrangement, that of creating Apps for their content. In the current media space, the near future services like Ultra-HDTV, high scan rate TV and 3DTV, cannot be ignored. Audiences are now demanding full-scale HDTV from their service providers. Expectedly Ultra-HDTV will also capture the imagination of the audiences and will be an instant hit. The 3DTV will eventually follow the same path. While the industry is in constant change, the industry players have to move forward. The broadcasters need to assess the situation and take definitive initial steps. The 2013 ABU Digital Broadcasting Symposium will address all these issues, bringing together world experts of the entire broadcasting industry. SAVE THE DATES and join us in Kuala Lumpur for the four-day conference programme, specialist workshops, associated events and a comprehensive exhibition.
