DVB Scene 55: targeted advertising, multicast, future satellite delivery
You can now download the March 2020 issue of DVB Scene magazine.
The focus for Issue 55 is firmly on the future, with articles looking at the likely impact of DVB’s newest specifications (including DVB-TA and DVB-mABR) and the options for enhancing broadcast systems – satellite and terrestrial – and device security.
As usual, DVB’s chair Peter MacAvock shares his thoughts on the future direction of the organization itself, acknowledging that it needs to embrace new approaches to ensure its continued success:
