ATSC 3.0 and Alticast

ATSC 3.0 made a huge splash at last week’s NAB Show in Las Vegas. It was announced that the “Next-Gen” TV standard will be rolled out in 40 of the largest U.S. TV markets by 2021 and it took center stage in many booths, including ours.

Highlighting our booth demonstrations was our ATSC 3.0 server and receiver solution. Developed by our technical team in Denver, our ATSC client software manages, decodes and renders video content and simultaneously supports ATSC 1.0 and ATSC 3.0 standards. It can be ported to various viewing devices such as smart TVs, set-top boxes, dongles and other companion devices making them ATSC 3.0 compatible.

During the show, our Sr. Director of Business Development, Guy Charbonneau, sat down in the Connected Media booth to discuss how Alticast is embracing the standard and our role in bringing it to fruition. You can view it here.

With over 20 years of experience in the video and broadcast fields and over 50 million deployments of our platform solutions in use around the world, we are proud of how our technology has helped our customers evolve and change with the times. ATSC is poised to revolutionize our industry and as it continues to garner more interest and attention, we look forward to playing a major part by contributing our knowledge, expertise and technology.
