MPEG Industry Forum Presents NAB2007 Master Class "Advanced Video Services
in Next Generation Video Ecosystems"
Fremont, March 27, 2024 -- The MPEG Industry Forum (MPEGIF) today announced
the "Advanced Video Services in Next Generation Video Ecosystems" full-day
Master Class at NAB2007 in Las Vegas on Sunday, April 15. Held in
conjunction with the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB), this
special event will explore how new technologies are changing the way digital
multimedia is created, compressed, delivered and monetized. A number of
business and technology leaders at the forefront of next-generation networks
will share their experiences and unique industry insights at this year's
Master Class.  
Featured keynote speakers include senior executives from Alcatel-Lucent, ,
MobiTv, Telekom Austria, and Professor Tim Wu from Columbia Law School, best
known for popularizing the concept of network neutrality. The keynote
speakers will be joined by panelists from programmers such as CBS and Turner
Broadcasting, service operators such as AT&T and Tiscali and other leading
technology pioneers and industry analysts. Together they will examine the
state of advanced video services and the role of open standards in the
ecosystem. The morning session begins at 10:00 a.m. and will discuss
consumer trends, content creation and protection. The afternoon sessions
will focus on "content on the move" and new technologies. Each session will
also include an interactive roundtable panel with the keynote speaker and
other panelists. MPEGIF will also provide an update of the Forum's work in
developing and promoting open MPEG standards and the MPEGIF Logo
Qualification Program.  
"As video services and consumption patterns continue to change at an
ever-increasing pace, standards such as MPEG are critical for the industry,"
said Sebastian Moeritz, President of the MPEG Industry Forum. "Technologies
and products based on the MPEG standards continue to develop, particularly
as service providers continue to explore and implement MPEG-4 AVC in their
networks to improve bandwidth efficiency and make room for the plethora of
advanced services now available. The Master Class provides an ideal forum
for discussion and exploration of the key issues with regard to
implementation of next generation video networks."
"The theme of the MPEGIF Master Classes has changed over the past 4 years
since they were first introduced at NAB and IBC" said David Price, Vice
President of MPEGIF. "Initially they promulgated information regarding the
pros and cons of various digital video codecs, but now we find the focus has
moved to embrace the entire digital video ecosystem and the role of
standards based technology at all levels."
