HD Forum Italia Conference at BBF/Expo Comm Italia 25/11/2009

Year 2009 can be assumed as the turning year for digital revolution. In fact - after successful analog switch off in Sardinia last year - large regions like Piemonte, Lazio and Campania are involved in the all digital transition, as of Septemebr, November and December 2009, respectively. Not to forget Valle d'Aosta and Trentino-Alto Adige, whose swich-off is in the same timeframe.

In a scenery rapidly evolving to all digital television, in a content production environment already fully upgraded to HD and in a audio-visual market where virtually all new tuners are not only DBV-enabled but also MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) capable, the pathway to High Definition should be rather straightforward.

This National Conference promoted by HD Forum Italia will be a key opportunity to elaborate on opportunities, success stories and challenges dealing with a transition, very dynamic yet sustainable, to an all-HD television market.
