Business, technical and legal experts will update participants on the potential ATSC 3.0 holds for public media.
ATSC 3.0’s potential for significant impact on the business and delivery of television heralds an opportunity for TV broadcasters.
Unlike all preceding television standards, this one will affect far more than television.
A new TV broadcast standard will enhance consumers’ viewing experience and use a portion of spectrum to speed the digital revolution.
Broadcast TV in the U.S. will undergo two big changes in the next few years, and a clash in the timeline for those shifts promises big headaches for pubTV stations.
Five years after pubcasters switched off the last of their analog TV transmitters and advanced into an all-digital world, planning is underway for the next generation of digital TV. The ATSC 3.0 standard has been years in the making, and years of work and many questions remain before pubcasters are ready to put it on the air. ATSC is the Advanced Television Standards Committee, an international nonprofit comprising broadcasters, regulators, consumer electronics manufacturers, broadcast equipment companies and other experts. It developed the ATSC 1.0 standard that was adopted for broadcast digital TV in the early 2000s and is now charged with replacing that standard to keep up with rapid advances in the technologies used in broadcast TV. ATSC is working on two sets of standards.
