The agenda has been unveiled for this year’s Midwest Regional Broadcasters Clinic, which is joined this year by SBE’s national meeting and awards. With the state broadcasters associations for Wisconsin and Minnesota each involved, the regional affair scheduled for September 10-11 in Middleton, Wisc., is poised to be a big attraction for engineers.
TV and radio sessions will run concurrently, on the Tuesday, Sept. 10.
That day will see Mike Pappas of Orban Labs present a session devoted to AM and FM air chains. For those in broadcast TV, a SMPTE 2110 session from Telestream‘s Ken Striver is on the agenda.
At 10am, there’s Keyur Parikh, of GatesAir, who will helm the session “Achieving Signal Alignment for FM and HD SFN Across Wide Area IP Networks.” TV industry engineers can benefit at the same time from an ATSC 3.0 update courtesy of Harmonic‘s Jing Zhougavin.
Then, at 11am, ENCO executive Bill Bennett will demonstrate some of the company’s AI technology that it shared during the 2024 NAB Show. An 11:45am session from ERI‘s Bill Harland will discuss “A New Approach to the Design of FM Bandpass Filters for IM Product Suppression and FM Channel Combining.”
After lunch, at 1:30pm, the TV industry participants will hear from Dielectric‘s James Butts on “vibration and fatigue” criteria in the design of TV transmission antennas. The topic of “media over IP in the cloud” will be the focus of a 2pm session from AWS’s Jason O’Malley.
Wednesday sessions as of now include “Integrating Legacy Transmitters and Other Equipment into a Modern Broadcast Infrastructure” from Tim Wright, at Cumulus Media.
