Dear MPEGIF News Readers,

 

Now that the Las Vegas dust has settled again and everyone is back in the usual surroundings, it is a good time to reflect on some of the headlines from this years NAB.

 

What you will read below is not only the MPEG-4 AVC specific news that we have collected -- it is also the main news from NAB2006. MPEG-4 AVC was virtually everywhere on the show floor. It was an amazing sight to look at the various products and services ranging from Broadcast to IPTV to Mobile TV. This trend is sure to continue, come and have a look for yourself. 

 

There are a number of events coming along this summer, which MPEGIF is endorsing... 

--  <http://www.iptv-easterneurope.com/> IPTV World Forum Eastern Europe June 22-23 in Budapest ... if you want to see some great show cases, learn more about our industry and enjoy a champagne river cruise on the Danube, this is where you have to go!

 

--  <http://www.tvevolutionsubmmit.com/> The TV Evolution Summit July 4-5 in Rome ... 3 events under one roof dealing with the On-Demand, DSL TV and Set Top Box industry segments -- comes with breathtaking panoraminc views over the city of Rome.

 

Whilst talking about IPTV -- you may have heard about a new publication called the IPTV News Analyst. The first three issues are FREE and available online. For more information and to download, please click here  <http://www.digitalmediapublishing.co.uk/analyst-publications.htm> IPTV News Analyst 

 

 

Kind Regards, 

 

Sebastian Moeritz 

President, MPEGIF
