I am thrilled to announce that the ATSC Board of Directors has named Dr. Paul Hearty as Chair of the ATSC technology group that oversees the ATSC 3.0 suite of standards. Effective May 15, Paul, of Samsung Electronics, will succeed Sony’s Luke Fay, who has been ATSC Technology Group 3 Chair since 2019.
ATSC Technology Group 3 (TG3) develops and maintains Standards and Recommended Practices for ATSC 1.0, 3.0 and beyond. It works on advanced technologies for broadcast, the Internet and other transport systems. Technologies considered may be improvements to current systems or entirely new systems.
Paul’s vast experience and technical expertise will advance our collective efforts that make certain ATSC standards remain the world’s most flexible and adaptable system for the changing needs of broadcasters. We are indebted to Sony and to Luke for driving TG3 forward for five years, leading standards updates and capably steering the group through the initial launch of ATSC 3.0. Building on Luke’s contributions, Paul’s leadership will help us keep pace with the changing technologies all around us.
