EBU International Training is organising together with the EBU Technical Department the annual seminar on Production Technology, internationally known as the PMC Seminar, wigh will take place from 18-20 January 2005 at EBU Headquarters in Geneva.

Capitalising on the success of last year' PMC seminar, the 2005 edition will concentrate on fully IT-based production systems. Case studies, exchange of best practices, a vendors forum and interactive demonstrations will flesh out the programme's content, giving participants the chance to view and test the latest technology on the market for themselves.

Key issues such as increasing cost pressures on production, a growing demand for access services, integrating different vendors' IT systems in television and audio production and the soaring importance of High Definition will be tackled during this intensive three-day seminar.

Pioneers and early adopters will be presenting their points of view and reports on the state of play of Production Technology from a corporate perspective. EBU experts will present their activities and latest research in that field, and will generate platforms for discussion with participants, guiding them through questions collectively as well as individually at their request.
