During a luncheon, hosted jointly by the IEEE BTS and Texas Association of Broadcasters, the society presented the Matti M. Siukola Memorial Award for the best paper delivered at the 2013 Symposium.

Co-chaired by Roz Clark of Cox Media Group and Guy Buchard of CBC Technology, the 2014 IEEE Broadcast Symposium provided attendees with a comprehensive lineup of educational content. The event kicked off with a tutorial session on broadcast distribution infrastructures that explored system architecture and the evolution of SDI standards and copper/fiber-optic interface considerations. Other popular sessions covered green energy, RF radiation exposure to workers, ATSC 3.0, and regulatory issues impacting the international broadcast spectrum.
The IEEE BTS will continue to build upon the success of its annual Broadcast Symposium in 2015 by hosting the event in the popular travel destination, Orlando. Visit the IEEE BTS for more information.
