In the spring of 1993, as part of the entertainment industry group at
Digital Equipment Corp. I was the technical lead in putting together a
live demonstration of DEC's vision of a next generation digital television
production system. The demonstration was in a booth at the 1993 National
Association Broadcasters Convention at Las Vegas Convention Center.
It was attended by over 52,000 broadcasters and other broadcast-related
professionals from around the world. The booth's theme was "Bringing the
Digital Revolution to Broadcasting. It was extremely successful and generated
a lot of excitement in the industry along with 1000+ leads for DEC.
