The venue for this meeting is Arqiva HQ at Crawley Court, near Winchester. Directions can be found by clicking here. Refreshments will be provided from 6:45pm.
As a curtain-raiser, a video shot by media students from Southampton Solent University on their impressions of IBC2010, will be shown at 7:15 pm before the main meeting starts at 7:30.
The Digital Switch Over project peaks in 2011 as some of the largest TV regions move to all-digital transmission. The implementation of this five-year £700m project is a major engineering and logistical exercise, led by Peter Heslop at Arqiva. The reality is that Arqiva has to replace 5000 existing analogue and 500 lower-power digital transmitters with a new high-power digital network, ideally without anyone noticing!
Tony Mattera explains how the roll-out plan minimises disruption to existing services, how the new network was designed, and how HD services were incorporated into the main roll-out and in advance of DSO for main population centres.
