SINGAPORE, June 16, 2011 - (ACN Newswire) - Over 650 companies have snapped up 13,200 square metres of exhibition space at BroadcastAsia2011 - the region's leading trade event for the broadcasting and media industry. Boasting a growth of seven per cent compared to 2010, this year's show will showcase the latest products and solutions to visitors, from 3D and Hybrid TV to Digital Signage and Professional Audio Technology.

In a media preview held today by Singapore Exhibition Services (SES), Mr. Calvin Koh, Senior Project Manager of BroadcastAsia shared sourcing budget projections and key highlights for the event taking place on 21 to 24 June 2011. Also in attendance was Mr. Chris Grey, Head of Content Creation Solutions, Professional Solutions Company (PSAP), Sony Electronics Asia Pacific, who gave attendees a live demonstration of their latest professional technology products being showcased at BroadcastAsia2011.

"Just as the Asian broadcasting industry continues to enjoy success in the international arena, BroadcastAsia continues to deliver value to attendees with more facilities and opportunities to experience the latest broadcast technologies available in the industry today," said Mr. Calvin Koh.

Country and Technology Showcases at BroadcastAsia2011

Currently in its 16th edition, 86% of the exhibitors at BroadcastAsia2011 are from outside of Singapore. In fact, 43 countries and representatives from 12 group pavilions will convene at the show, with a strong European presence this year and group pavilions from Belgium, France, Germany, Italy (2), Spain and the UK.

Highlights at BroadcastAsia2011 also include a brand new Cinematography/Film/Production zone that will bring together a selection of production companies demonstrating the latest innovations designed to enhance quality and work efficiency of digital content.

Convening Industry Experts at Dedicated BroadcastAsia Conferences and Workshops

As a knowledge-centric event for professionals, the four-day BroadcastAsia2011 International Conference will feature over 80 high-level, international speakers who will make presentations on 3DTV, HybridTV, Connect TV, DVB and others.

These will be followed by a full-day post-production workshop on using DSLR videography on 24 June.

Experience Sony's 'Believe HD and Beyond' Vision at BroadcastAsia

Sony will again exhibit at BroadcastAsia2011 to showcase new future-ready technologies for the first time in Asia. The company's booth will be a next-generation hub packed with revolutionary technologies in broadcast and content production that will raise the bar when it comes to creating compelling content.

"As a launch pad for broadcast and production technology trends and innovations in the region, BroadcastAsia2011 is an ideal platform for Sony to introduce its latest products and solutions, as well as be present to understand and focus on value creation for customers," said Chris Grey, Head of Content Creation Solutions, Professional Solutions Company (PSAP), Sony Electronics Asia Pacific.

Making its debut at BroadcastAsia, Sony's F65 CineAlta(R) camera is the result of 30 years of research and represents the industry's first camera with 8K 20 megapixels CMOS sensor. During a closed-door launch event, guests will witness a visually stunning short film created by Curtis Clark using the F65 CineAlta(R) camera, as well as learn more about the insights that led to the development of this breakthrough camera.

"The industry has taken great strides in HD adoption but there is still a significant gap to bridge between SD and HD. We believe consumers are ready - with larger screens and a great deal of HD quality content already available, it is now up to broadcasters to further extend their HD operations," said Grey.

Supporting the industry's transition to digital broadcast, Sony will also introduce a breadth of new HD products this year including the HXC-D70 camera, the MCS-8M compact HD switcher, and the MVS-7000X production switcher. Other technologies that will be showcased at Sony's BroadcastAsia2011 booth include the new BVM series OLED monitors, as well as the first fully integrated 3D shoulder camcorder PMW-TD300 and 3D compact camcorder HXR-NX3D1P, new 3D switchers and 3D software applications at the show.
