FREMONT, August 7, 2007 -- The MPEG Industry Forum (MPEGIF) today announced

from 10 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. in Room A at the RAI Convention Center,
Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

 

This MPEGIF Master Class will focus on how new technologies are changing the
way digital television is created, compressed, stored, delivered and
monetized. MPEGIF, the world’s largest advocacy group for the promotion of
MPEG technologies, has confirmed a high-profile line-up of keynote speakers

The topics of the MPEGIF Master Class include:

 

*        The Next Generation Television Business Models

*        Stopping the IP Pirates

*        New Video Applications and Services

*        So many Ecosystems – so little time

MPEGIF will also provide an update on the widespread adoption of MPEG-4
(including MPEG-4 AVC / H.264) and the MPEGIF Logo Qualification Program.

 

“We are extremely pleased and proud that MPEGIF, through events and
activities such as our MPEGIF Master Classes and our MPEGIF Logo
Qualification Program, has significantly contributed to the fact that MPEG-4
AVC / H.264 is the clear choice by operators and service providers launching
next generation video and TV services for broadcast (SD, HD), internet and
mobile as well as for packaged media.” said Sebastian Moeritz, President,
MPEG Industry Forum and CEO dicas. 

 

“Increasingly operators are looking for guidance on how IP can be used to
discriminate services and create increased ARPUs”, said David Price, Vice
President, MPEGIF and Vice President at Harmonic Inc. “The rich line up of
content owners, programmers and service operators who are already deploying
IP based video services, and key technology providers in this space will
provide an unparalleled level of industry expertise that will help remove
some of the uncertainties in a rapidly evolving marketplace”

 

 

In addition to the Master Class held at RAI, MPEGIF will host a networking
party at the Hard Rock Café Amsterdam on Sunday, 9 September 2007 from 7p.m.
until midnight. This networking event will be the perfect place to meet and
mingle with the speakers from the MPEGIF Master Class and other industry
luminaries and experts while enjoying free drinks and bites. The MPEGIF
party is open to all IBC attendees.
