Setting the Scene for Digital Broadcasting at BroadcastAsia2012
The special OTT feature area, one of the star attractions at BroadcastAsia2012, saw a huge number of visitors stopping to catch a glimpse of the Euro2012 on various platforms including TV, laptop, tablet and mobile phone; and other content contributed by Sony Pictures.
