Opening speech Lieven Vermaele, EBU Technical Director, Switzerland EBU is a union of 75 Active members from 56 countries, and 45 Associate members around the world, representing a big force towards the industry and Standards organisations. The EBU Technical Department, in order to become your reference in media technology and innovation, developed this last year a strategic plan, in three steps: � 'Have your say' with questionnaires and interviews of the members, to analyse the situation. � Redefine key missions, vision, values and objectives with the management committees. � Define a clear activity plan in the different domains. Our vision and mission are clear, expressed in the following strategic objectives: � We connect and share, bringing people together, sharing experience (seminars, on-line…). � We develop and guide. � We promote (open standards, interoperability, network neutrality, maximised user access, spectrum requirements…) and represent EBU members in industrial bodies, international organisations, regulation bodies. � We drive (pushing for innovation where and when necessary, e.g. time labelling…) and harmonise (e.g. Digital Radio) for cost efficiency. We will concentrate our activities in three technological domains, with corresponding programmes: � Content creation, contribution and production technology, through PMC and NMC and the following programmes: HDTV and beyond – File-based production systems and infrastructure, and Networks - Archive and Storage. � Media delivery technology, through DMC and SMC and the following programmes: Broadcast technology – Broadband fixed and wireless technology (spectrum and applications). � Consumer equipment and applications technology, through DMC, and the following programmes: Display technologies – Applications and Interactivity – Security, Rights and Metadata. For each programme we defined an activity matrix, matching the strategic objectives (Connect & Share…). In order to achieve our goals we changed the organisation to plan – produce – deliver the work.

Seminar quick reference guide Per BOEHLER, NRK, Norway, Chairman of the Production Management Committee (PMC) 'Production Technology 2009' offers a very comprehensive programme. The first day dedicated to High Definition presents first users' experiences: launching a HDTV channel in 8 months with 2 different production and emission formats (§ 1.1), a new audio recording technique to capture the kicking of the ball in a football match (§ 1.2), the infrastructure and the formatting for Eurosports HD & SD simulcast (§ 1.3). The second session is focusing on the tests results of some HD equipment: camera systems for drama production (§ 1.4), studio and acquisition codecs with concatenation issues (§ 1.5), and distribution encoder (§ 1.6). Audio loudness jumps control (§ 1.7), low-bit rate encoding HE-AACv2 test results (§ 1.8) and Dolby E in a 50p production environment (1.9) are the subjects of the last session. The second day central topic is IT-based production, starting with the presentation of a new EBU working group on Networked Production (§ 2.1) and then trying to decrypt the buzz word SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) through a tutorial and the positioning of the EBU work (§ 2.2), two vendors' presentations of a real SOA framework system and modules (§ 2.3) and of a 'linked' network technology (§2.4). The 2 nd session reports on the final work to define a new Synchronisation and Time-related labelling (§ 2.5 - 2.7) with a zoom on a way to synchronise a digital TV plant using Ethernet and IEEE 1588 (§ 2.8). The storage, costs and control of loss issues in Digital archives are analysed in the last session (§ 2.9) as well as the migration strategies through the projects PrestoSpace and PrestoPRIME (§ 2.10). The use of the EBU Core is illustrated for radio archives metadata (§ 2.11) as well as the access to TV archives at the European level (§ 2.12). The third day brings us into the future, the “beyond-HD”. 3D is there, SMPTE is defining a 3D Home Master format for distribution (§ 3.1), the technologies… and the market are ready (§ 3.2). The future may also be high frame rate television (§ 3.3), computer-assisted search and production (§ 3.4) and interactive television (§ 3.5). © EBU 2009 / Production Technology seminar / January 27 - 29, 2009 Reproduction prohibited without written permission of EBU TECHNICAL & EBU TRAINING 5
