Multimedia Computing, Production, Management and Distribution for HDTV and its Applications

澳大利亚是第一个在全国推出数字电视的国家。该平台将越来越多地用于消费多媒体信息; HDTV基础设施也正在应用于其他领域，如远程医疗/电子保健，以降低成本并提高效率。为了让澳大利亚在开发这些有益于更广泛社区的应用程序方面领先一步，我们必须向前看，并为开发未来所需的应用程序建立足够的基础设施。我们坚信，通过这样做，我们可以在预测和为我们的现代社会提供基本服务方面领先于其他社区，这反过来将大大有利于澳大利亚经济。

Australia is the first country to launch digital TV nationally. Increasingly, this platform will be used for consuming multimedia information; also the HDTV infrastructure is being applied to other domains such as telemedicine/e-Health to lower costs and improve effectiveness. For Australia to be a step ahead in the development of these applications that are beneficial to a wider community, we have to look forward and establish adequate infrastructure for the development of needed applications of the future. It is strongly believed that by doing so we can position ourselves ahead of other communities in anticipating and providing essential services to our modern society and this in turn will greatly benefit the Australian economy.
