Broadcast Experts In Africa To Discuss Digital Switchover

One of the major issues to be discussed at the Afrisat 2014 is the preparedness of African countries for digital switchover (DSO).

The event which will take place on October 21, 2014, in Abuja, is the tenth edition of the biennial conference. Among those expected to attend are representatives of professional organisations, engineers, intellectuals, broadcast equipment manufacturers, content providers, the academia, broadcast marketing professionals and strategic industry stakeholders and broadcast partners.

According to HumanIPO.com, the theme of this year's edition is "Digital Broadcast Content; Production, Sourcing and Delivery" and is expected to appraise Africa's switchover from analogue to digital.

The organizers said the conference will enable content providers, distributors and marketers to have a platform that will connect them to the network positively – a necessity for the reconstruction of Africa's digital broadcast migration dynamics with a view to optimizing the positive fall outs inherent in the emerging digital broadcast ecology to the benefit of Africast member state's organization and participants.
