TAKE A LOOK AT THE EXCELLENT ENNES LINE-UP:
9:00-9:15am Continental Breakfast – Provided
9:15-10:00am Fred Baumgartner Baumgartner Broadcast LLC , Moderator and Presenter -“Adopting NextGen Broadcast TV”
Fourteen years after KDKA signed on, 60% of homes owned a radio. It took 33 years from FM’s launch to the point when FM listeners outnumbered AM. It took 30 years from the launch of ATSC 1.0 for TV to collect the technology and assemble the ATSC 3.0 — NextGen Broadcast standard. While there is little doubt that our current broadcast technology has aged out, and NextGen Broadcast has to replace it, the path to adoption is challenging. While most Americans live within the coverage of an ATSC 3.0 transmitter, and first-generation TVs are available, most of what NextGen Broadcast is designed to be has yet to be developed, least of all experienced. As this is written, NVISA the NextGen Video Information Systems Alliance has offered the industry the opportunity to collectively demonstrate nationally the capabilities of NextGen Broadcast. How this initiative plays out might be the indicator of how fast and how much of NextGen Broadcast’s capabilities, such as radio, targeted advertising and advanced emergency informing reach the market.
10:00-10:45am Ricki Lee,- Aiir/PlayoutONE – “Simplifying the On Air Studio and Connection with Your Audience”
11:00-11:45am Executive Suite Panel – “Meet The People Who Own Or Run Broadcast Facilities From The Top” SPECIAL GUESTS!
12:00-12:45pm Lunch – Provided
12:45-1:30pm Frank Foti, Telos Alliance – KEYNOTE –
1:30-2:15pm Shane Toven- EMF -“Virtualization: It’s Not Just for the Big Guys!”
When many broadcast engineers think of “Virtualization” they often have images of large enterprises, including services and systems that rely on the Internet. That is often true, but virtualization can scale down just as well as it scales up. Virtualization takes many forms, including a single system at a single site. While some applications have very large scale enterprise-wide requirements or rely on “cloud” services via the Internet, this presentation will focus on how virtualization can be implemented on a smaller scale, such as individual transmitter sites, or small studio clusters.
2:15-3:00pm Kirk Harnack, Telos Alliance – “Radio Talent Working Virtually-On-Air with Containerized Broadcast Systems So Cool That I Just Built My Own Visual Control Room!”
This Containerized broadcast systems are now on-the-air in a variety of radio stations. What must engineers know about this technology, and are the human on-air users adapting? Radio broadcasters have been anticipating their eventual deployment of virtualized broadcast software as part or most of their studio and backend infrastructure. A few radio stations and radio networks have already moved to a largely virtualized infrastructure while others are now in the process. The virtues of virtualization have been the topic of several dozen professional presentations ranging from manufacturers’ revelations to scholarly presentations. With some systems on-air now, it’s time to ask, “What is working differently or the same – for broadcast engineers and for on-air talent?”
3:15-4:00pm Mike Pappas- Orban, Presenter – “Last-Mile Solutions for Cloud-Based Broadcasting”
We all know that operating cloud-based automation and playout systems, along with audio processing, is a relatively easy project. But getting from the “Cloud” to an FM or AM transmitter site reliably, especially with last-mile issues of low bandwidth (or no bandwidth), is a significant issue. This session will look at a myriad of cloud to transmitter link solutions including a pair of real-life examples using “unconventional” delivery methods.
4:00-6:00pm Joel Hamilton, producer and engineer for Studio G in Greenpoint, Brooklyn with the live band “Iriespect”- How to mix live music
Look forward to a LIVE BROADCAST OF THE BAND on 88.7 FM at 6pm!
