The upcoming 2015 IEEE Broadcast Technology Symposium, Oct. 13–16, in Orlando, Fla., just might have the session of the year.
The session that has attracted our attention is “The Science of PPM — Audio Watermarking in Broadcasting is a System Within a System,” a discussion chaired by Greater Media’s Paul Shulins. It is scheduled for 2 p.m., Oct. 16. The panel will include Barry Blesser of the Telos Alliance and Scott Brown of Nielsen.
There will also be other sessions of interest, especially on Oct. 14. Roz Clark of Cox Radio leads the “Advanced RF Technology for Radio” session. It includes “Interleaving IBOC Signals for a Digital HD Radio,” with Philipp Schmid of Nautel and “10 dB IBOC at Combined Transmission Sites,” with John Schadler of Dielectric.
Glynn Walden of CBS will chair a tutorial session, which will feature “NAB Labs Radio Technology Update,” with the NAB’s Senior Director of Advanced Engineering, David Layer, and “New Technologies in Single Frequency Networks, A Case Study — WSUN Holiday, Florida,” with Hal Kneller.

Also on Oct. 14, James O’Neal will chair a session devoted to cybersecurity that will include “Grounding Concepts and Techniques for Broadcast,” with Tom Silliman of ERI.
On Oct. 15, Shulins will oversee a group examining AES67.
