May 19 Webinar takes look at what IP means to you; features CNBC, Sinclair execs

Industry professionals looking for more insight into how the move to IP will impact the industry and job duties will want to check out an educational webinar sponsored by Grass Valley on May 19. Entitled What will the IP transition mean for you? the webinar will combine industry benchmarking research on IP adoption with expert commentary to show how different organizations are handling their IP migrations.

Well use a recent industry survey as a backdrop to discuss specific industry segments, early IP adopters and why some situations require deeper study before jumping into the fray, says industry consultant Josh Gordon who will host the event. Speakers include Steve Fastook, CNBCs senior vice president, technical and commercial operations, and Don Roberts, the Sinclair Broadcast Groups Director of Television Systems.

Topics to be covered will include:

• How broadcasters who started an IP transition differ from those who have not.
• What industry segments are adapting IP most quickly?
• Which IP technologies are being implemented more quickly, which are lagging?
• How pragmatics are driving IP adoption, not fondness for a new technology.
