HD Forum Italia Gold Sponsor of BBF/Expo Comm Italia 24/11/2009

HD Forum Italia is proud to be among the Gold Sponsor of the technological exhibition BBF/Expo Comm Italia, to be held at Nuova Fiera di Roma on November 24-25. HD Forum Italia is participating with a booth in the exhibition hall and with its Annual HD Conference on the morning of 25 November. The conference topic will be "The High Definition in the new all digital scenery: here and now!".The conference agenda is in progress.

In fact, 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.
