#DTV Forum Article
3 messages in this thread
Hi everyone!
I'm writing an article for CompuServe Magazine on the DTV Forum. I would like
to talk to you about the Forum and how it has helped you solve problems/share
information/answer questions in regard to desktop video.
Additionally, I'm looking for different examples of how DTV is used — from the
home user to the professional — and from wedding videos to creative business
usage such as video conferencing, sales, marketing and so forth. I'm also
looking for people who would be willing to address the bigger issues of DTV,
such as where it's headed and how it will impact conventional multimedia as we
know it today.
Please drop me a line and let me know if you're willing to be intereviewed. My
deadline is in a couple of weeks and I would like to talk to as many people as
possible. Hope to hear from some of you.
Thanks!

Pat,
I'm marketing director for TAO Media Systems. I find that many people are
helped through dialog with our staff about questions they need answered before
buy a product. As marketing director I see this activity as crucial to TAO's
sales work, although it would not be fair to call it advertising–its just good
business releations and support for our product.
Recently I started topic in both DTV forum and Broadcast Professional forum,
inviting anyone to post questions about our editing control systems (our
application to start a TAO forum was either not completed by our office or was
turned down, I don't know yet).
The point is, participation of manufacturers should be viewed as vital and not
as *attempts at free advertising*.

I think catch-all forums like this one and Broadcast Professional are good
places for all related businesses to have a presence, if only as a place for
folks to find out what's available, compare & contrast features, and get
directions to the companies individual forums/BBSes if they need questions
answered in more depth… It is, after all, easier to see what's available by
coming here and reading the forum messages than to seek out each individual
forum/BBS…
Just my thoughts,
