Technology & Innovation Day 2016 by Rohde & Schwarz

We successfully hosted our partner Rohde & Schwarz’s event “Technology and Innovation Day” for the third time in a row, on 17 February, 2016. This year the focus was on production and distribution – particularly with regard to high resolutions and HDR. We were given the opportunity to experience the entire production chain for live HDR transmissions from HD to 4K – from film to TV.

Opinion-forming speakers offered insights into innovative technologies that help to meet the challenges faced in production and distribution.

The event effectively introduced new ways of preparing content from production to distribution for the following target groups: media and entertainment industry (production and post production houses, broadcasters, content providers/owners, service platforms, national film archives).
