VidTrans 02
Nearly 200 traveled to Orlando in March to master
broadband
video technologies. They learned from speakers, explored new offerings
in the
exhibit hall, and found valuable networking opportunities at VidTrans
2002.
VSF thanks the VidTranS sponsors that added value to the conference: C-COR, Tandberg Television, Inc., Verizon Communications, and VideoTele.com.
