Las Vegas (9-14 April 2011)

Booth: N1938 located in North Hall

The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) convention is the largest conference-exhibition related to Broadcasting in the world along with the International Broadcasting Convention (IBC) in Europe. There is more than 1600 exhibitors on the 900,000+ square feet of exhibit space which is expected to be attended by around 100,000 people.

Because of its relevance to Broadcasting Technologies, staff from CRC attend the NAB every year.

This year's presence will be exceptional considering that CRC was invited by NAB to host a booth as part of the International Research Park where several international broadcast labs will be represented. It is a great opportunity for CRC to show its latest technologies to thousands of industry experts and also to establish new contacts and to explore possible collaborations. Several topics will be presented including technical demonstrations.

Main Topics

• Coverage Prediction
• FM-RDS Hybrid Radio
• AV Quality & Loudness Measurement
• DTV Transmission
• 3D TV & Video Format Conversion
• SDR Broadcast equipment

Technical Demonstrations
