The audio-visual proceedings of the upcoming ABU Digital Radio Convention in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, will be made available live via webcast – the first time an ABU event is broadcast over the Internet in real time. The webcast, to begin at 9am local time on 14 August, will be made available to ABU members and others in the radio broadcasting and equipment manufacturing industry worldwide free of cost, as a means to promote radio broadcasting.
Those interested in participating in the conference over the Internet can do so via audio-visual stream or audio-only stream. “Both the streams will have relatively low bit rates. This is being done to enable widespread access to the streaming information provided, even in those cases where the access lines are of lower capacity,” said ABU Head of Transmission Technology & Spectrum, Sharad Sadhu.
More details of the live streaming will be provided in the next few days on the ABU website.
