The EBU TechBlog is a public blog about the activities of the Technology & Innovation Department and the wider technical community among EBU Members. Its focus is on our projects, programmes and proofs-of-concept, as well as interesting technology developments at the Members.
Comments and discussion are welcomed and encouraged!
Note: While the EBU Technology & Innovation website (tech.ebu.ch) will be fully integrated with the main EBU site during 2013, for now the two sites remain separate, requiring separate user accounts. To comment on TechBlog posts you should create a user account for the EBU Community.
