Broadcast Tech & Engineering News – Tech takeaways from Paris 2024

WABE President Tessa Potter at le Stade de France during Paris 2024.

It is not perfect, it is not easier, and it absolutely requires knowledge of video and audio and why we have certain workflows in media. Left to network engineers who think about traffic flow only and not quality control, the transition will be felt by viewers…The obvious tie-in for WABE, in my mind, is how important our educational programming and having speakers and ideas presented at our conference is.” Registration for WABE, September 23-25 in Edmonton, is still open.
