Reflecting the convergence trend in the infocomm and digital media industry, CommunicAsia2008 and BroadcastAsia2008 will bring forth leading-edge technologies and business solutions designed to enhance enterprises’ mobility and users’ lifestyle. Visitors will have the opportunity to meet with representatives from prominent telecom operators, network and equipment vendors, Internet service providers, system integrators, broadcasters, (post) production studios, animation houses, computer graphics developers, as well as content owners.

The shows will also feature discussions on ‘hot’ topics like Access Networks & Technologies, Mobile & Interactive Services, Applications Delivery & Devices, Satellite Communications, Convergence & IMS, Mobile TV & Entertainment, WiMAX, Wireless Broadband, IPTV by industry thought leaders and business luminaries.

They are expected to once again serve as vibrant platforms where sellers and buyers congregate, network, and exchange industry best practices.

This year at BroadcastAsia, visitors will be treated to the rare-appearance of SHV (Super Hi Vision), otherwise known as Ultra HD. Showcasing in Asia for the first time, outside Japan, SHV will showcase video format with resolution that is 16 times higher than the existing resolution of HDTV (High Definition TV). The HD Xperience, a complete HD Studio will explain how Media Asset Management (MAM) technology can help broadcasters redesign their workflows to reap the benefits of open standards based production and archiving.
