Implementation Team 4 – Brazil

Chair: Skip Pizzi, Fraunhofer USA
Vice-Chair: Dr. Paul Hearty, Samsung

Scope

The ATSC Brazil Implementation Team organizes efforts to represent the ATSC in its engagement with the SBTVD Forum’s TV 3.0 Project, SET, and other Brazilian organizations. The team participates in TV 3.0 testing programs, coordinating the provision of the necessary equipment, resources, education, and solutions to demonstrate ATSC 3.0 technologies in the best light possible. The team also participates in the development of TV 3.0 documentation as requested, facilitates harmonization of ATSC 3.0 and TV 3.0 Standards, assists in implementations and deployments of TV 3.0 technologies (including exploration of other regional opportunities), consults on extensions to the initial TV 3.0 Standards, and responds to other related requests or inquiries. The ATSC Brazil Implementation Team does not draft ATSC Standards or Recommended Practices. The Team reports to the ATSC Board of Directors.
