Phoenix Model Market Project to Host Series of ATSC 3.0 Instructional Webinars

A series of seven free hour-long instructional webinars for broadcasters seeking to deploy ATSC 3.0 services begins Wednesday with a course on “standing up a host station.” The technical team behind the Pearl TV-led 3.0 Phoenix Model Market project will give the webinars every other Wednesday through Aug. 26, said Pearl Tuesday. The sessions are designed to offer a “basic explanation” of 3.0 content and security protection, broadcaster application and framework, service profiles and equipment requirements, it said. The webinars will “help guide station and technology management personnel in converting local markets” to 3.0, said Pearl engineer Dave Folsom, the chief instructor of the courses.
