Andreas Tweitmann, CEO, RTW Has IBC come at a good time
for the electronic media industry? Why?
The age of digital television has changed the way we all work in the electronic media industry. It has forced those of us in audio and video to work together on developing solutions that complement one another, solving issues now and setting us up for the future. It is an especially critical time, as broadcasters continue to seek for solutions to help them comply with all globally relevant standards, including EBU R128, ITU BS.1770-2/1771, ATSC A/85 and ARIB. It is imperative that they find the solutions they need to meet these regulations before the imposed deadlines and IBC is the perfect stage to do so.
What do you think are the key developments in, or threats to, your market sector at the current time? As loudness control standards continue to be of specific interest to the global community, so are the range of solutions available to broadcasters. However, budgets are tight so it is important for companies like ours to make sure we are educating the community about making the proper investments in the right equipment.

SNMP and Web UI support of the SPG8000 enable integration into modern automation, central monitoring and control systems. 10.D41
