NHK Managing Director To Address NAB

Hirokazu Nishiyama, Managing Director of Japanese public broadcaster NHK, will discuss new broadcast services such as mobile, HDTV, IPTV and VOD during his keynote address April 15 for the 61st annual Broadcast Engineering Conference at NAB2007.
Nishiyama will speak about the opportunities these advanced services create for broadcasters and the various applications that make Ultra-HDTV — with 16 times the resolution of HDTV — a promising technology for the future.
