NPR Labs has returned in one piece from the PREC/NAB Show/Vegas Marathon 2011. Although we didn’t break any world records, we did win an award!
At the PREC, we were able to update the public radio engineering community on work we’ve finished in the past year, details of projects we are working on now, and projects we have slated for the future. The main topics were the culmination of the Personalized Audio Information Service (PAIS) project, taking the next step with ISAAC (formerly iPAIS), mapping digital broadcast services for all public TV and radio facilities, captioning, and updates to our patent-pending IBOC coverage and interference model, supporting elevated and asymmetrical sidebands.
At the NAB Show, NPR Labs sported its first booth, in the heart of International Research Park. We were pleased with the enthusiasm visitors had for our research and for public radio. We would like to thank everyone who came to the north hall and said hello during the show.
Lastly, NPR Labs won the NAB Technology Innovation Award, recognizing outstanding exhibitors at the NAB Show that provide exhibits or demonstrations of advanced technology developments related to media. NAB President Gordon Smith presented the award to NPR Labs Executive Director Mike Starling at the NAB Technology Luncheon.
