Meetings

Chapter 76, Society of Broadcast Engineers (SBE), generally meets on the Thursday after the second Tuesday of each month. The date rarely varies from this formula. This keeps the meeting towards the middle of every month.

You do not need to be a member of the SBE to attend these meetings, nor do you have to be a member of the local broadcast community. As long as the topic of the meeting is of interest to you, you're invited. If you see that a given month is “Reserved” for an exhibitor, it means simply that. Additional details of meetings are posted here as soon as they're available.

What:

The Five-Nines of Uptime:
IP Reliability for Broadcast through prioritization and carrier diversity
Internet connectivity is now part of the broadcast chain. Like everything else in our connected world, buzzwords abound and ideas vary on the "right" way to integrate modern technology with good ol' fashioned broadcast engineering knowhow. Cut through the noise and get down to the heart of the matter to achieve maximum uptime by picking the right IP connections at studios, transmitter sites, remote broadcasts, and anywhere you need to get a signal to or from.
