Thomson Video Networks To Host Panel Discussion

Thomson Video Networks has confirmed it will present an interactive panel discussion, 'Satellite Pay TV: Routes to Growth in a Developing Market', at the Digital TV CEE conference in Warsaw, Poland, Tuesday 27 October.

The panel, which is scheduled for 2.55pm, will address the following questions:

• What are the future growth prospects for satellite-delivered TV?
• Will satellite increasingly play a role in hybrid delivery, complementing fixed networks?
• Can satellite deliver the range of services consumers increasingly expect?
• How do the economics of satellite delivery compare with other means, and what innovations can satellite lead in?

Led by Alain Pellen, Marketing Director at Thomson Video Networks, the panel discussion will include participation from Eyal Altshuler, vice president of CEE sales, Amos-Spacecom; Apostolos Triantafyllou, Eutelsat's senior vice president of sales for CE, Europe, and Eurasia; Lev Svenning, head of Central and Eastern Europe, Telenor Satellite Broadcasting AS; and Andrew Faiola, director, Intelsat.

As marketing director, Pellen oversees Thomson Video Networks' marketing activities in the satellite, IPTV, and OTT sectors. In addition to his current role, he has also held positions in R&D, systems design, and presales within Thomson Video Networks, and has extensive experience in video compression technology.

Thomson Video Networks will also have a stand at the Digital TV CEE conference where visitors can meet with the company's executives and see demonstrations of the ViBE XT1000 Xtream Transcoder, a high-density video transcoder for live content broadcasting and multi-screen delivery, as well as FUZE-1, Thomson Video Networks' playout infrastructure for channel origination, manipulation, and ad insertion.
