The Broadcast Engineering Conference provides a forum for engineers to discuss technology's impact on future trends in the broadcast industry.  Nishiyama will discuss new broadcast services like mobile, HDTV, IPTV, and VOD and the opportunities these advanced services create for broadcasters. He will also discuss the various applications that make Ultra-HDTV, which offers 16 times the resolution of current HDTV, a promising technology for the future.

 

From 1989 to 1995, Nishiyama served as executive deputy president of NHK Enterprises America, Inc., where he played a major role in production of HD programs in the United States. He was later appointed associate director of the Engineering Administration Department, where he was responsible for developing broadcasting equipment for HDTV.

 

Nishiyama served as the director-general of the Engineering Administration Department in 2004, overseeing all aspects of broadcast technologies within NHK.  In 2005, Nishiyama was appointed managing director. He currently oversees all engineering activities and supervises the Engineering Administration Department and the Science & Technical Research Laboratories.
