At NAB, visitors will see an integrated approach from new transmitter design and services to revenue opportunities, like datacasting and live streaming to mobile devices enabled through ATSC 3.0.

"Listening to the market, we fully understand that energy efficiency, maintenance costs and future business opportunities are critical factors for broadcasters," said Manfred Reitmeier, Vice President Broadcast and Amplifier Systems at Rohde & Schwarz. "To support our customers with their challenges we continue to push technological boundaries. At NAB 2024 we will showcase our latest high-power transmitter and unique service offerings taking our customers to a new era of smart broadcast distribution."

"Across Europe, leading national public and commercial broadcasters have chosen Gallium and StreamMaster playout automation to adapt to their evolving needs," said Thorsten Sauer, Vice President Media Solutions at Rohde & Schwarz. "In addition, interest in our technology from North American broadcasters is increasing with significant projects being realised and underway."
