“The show’s focus on high-definition TV will generate substantial interest from the region for specialised equipment and services, from HD cameras and servers for broadcasting studios to HD-compliant set-top boxes and LCD/Plasma TVs for receiving HDTV broadcasts for consumers.†said Wayne Heads, Director – Technical Department, Asia Pacific Broadcasting Union. “The exhibitors will be looking towards the region’s long-term HD business prospects.†Mr. Heads added.
Among the products and services that will be on display include the World’s first 70-inch SONY rearscreen LCD HD projection TV using the Silicon X-tal Reflective Display technology, Omneon’s HD Media Server, DVB-S2 compression technology and Kaon’s HD Set Top Box.
