Engineering Success – How Engineers Impact the Bottom Line
Sunday, April 6 | 11:00 – 11:40 am
West Hall Room W231-W232: TV and Radio HQ
Technology is the backbone of radio and television, but it’s often overlooked and brought in at the tail-end of ideas and implementation. Learn how engineers can get more involved at the start of ideation and bring their own ideas to the table to impact the bottom line.
Field Test of ATSC 3.0/BPS Precise Time Distribution
Sunday, April 6 | 11:20 – 11:40 am
West Hall Room W220-W221
ATSC 3.0 transmitters may satisfy an important need for a national-scale high-precision time distribution network, complementary to the Global Positioning System (GPS) and other Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). Robust, accurate time sources are demanded in telecommunications, power distribution, and financial markets; nanosecond-level precision is required for meter-scale positioning systems. In collaboration with NAB and KWGN (Nexstar), NIST tested several aspects of time transfer stability in a BPS field deployment. Station KWGN transmitted ATSC 3.0/BPS from a position west of Denver, Colorado. Signals are received in three locations: the KWGN studio (22 km east), NIST in Boulder, Colorado (30 km north) and the NIST WWVB radio station near Ft. Collins, Colorado (106 km north). The propagation is believed to be line-of-sight except to NIST in Boulder, located in a slight valley.
NABA: Is WMAS (Wireless Multichannel Audio System) the Future for Wireless Mics?
Sunday, April 6 | 2:00 – 3:00 pm
West Hall Room W222-W223
Spectrum for wireless microphones has been disappearing over the past decade. What’s left is becoming more and more crowded as the use of wireless mics proliferates. WMAS (Wireless Multichannel Audio System) is a new technology that uses spectrum more efficiently, but does it have all the answers? This panel, presented by the North American Broadcasters Association, will explore the pros and cons of WMAS and lay out the issues you need to consider when choosing your next audio upgrade.
