Wegener Executive Invited To Present At PBS Technology Conference

Wegener Corporation, a leading provider of equipment for television, audio and data distribution networks worldwide, have announced that the company's VP System Architect, Gary Pelkey, has been invited to discuss 'Network Control and File-Based Broadcasting' at this year's PBS Technology Conference, which takes place between April 9-11 at the Las Vegas Convention Centre (LVCC) in Las Vegas, Nevada, just prior to NAB 2008.
During the meeting, Pelkey will discuss cost effective ways to distribute customised programming to broadcast TV affiliates using advanced server technologies. He will examine the benefits of enhancing traditional distribution platforms with controls for file-based configurations.
The presentation will also cover topics such as managing repetitive programming content, creating opportunities for affiliates to re-purpose media files and increase their distribution of sponsored and local interest programming.
Mr Pelkey said: "I am delighted to be presenting this vital topic on behalf of Wegener. I hope it will give operators an understanding of ways to integrate network control with the reception of live video broadcasts, storing content and combining it to create 'Virtual Channels' and highly effective, localised programming applications."
The presentation will be in the LVCC's North Hall in Room N117 at 12pm on April 11, 2008.
