The Broadcast systems technology forum of the Technical Committee of the European Broadcasting Union. Introduction The broadcast systems research and development co-ordination platform of the European Broadcasting Union's Technical Committee. There are also about the same number of Associate Member broadcasters from outside Europe.
Broadcasting is an industry founded on high technology.
EBU Members need to be part of the technical evolution of broadcasting. It is important for them to contribute to and influence technological advance, and to be part of the creation of the Information Society. The BMC assists in this process. A number of EBU Members have research and development departments or interests, and the BMC works with them in developing technical solutions, evaluating new systems, and in planning transnational aspects of television and radio coverage areas. The BMC meets regularly to review critical strategic developments in broadcasting, and to set in motion Project Groups focused on specific issues which will help EBU Members.
