2. PMSE – Programme Making Special Event PMSE covers Services Ancillary for Programme-Making (SAP) Services Ancillary for Broadcasting (SAB) Electronic News Gathering (ENG) and Outside Broadcasting (OB) As defined in ERC Report 38 and ERC Report 42 (see also ITU-R Report BT.2069 and ECC Report 002) including wireless production tools used for front-end solutions (audio, video, data) in the field of professional multimedia production (from radio and television to art, culture, conferences, trade fairs, entertainment applications, education, sport events and much more). Examples for PMSE Components: Video cameras Microphones In-ear monitors Conference systems Intercom devices Data links (e.g. for remote control) GSC16-GRSC9-09a3

3. PWMS – Professional Wireless Mikrophone Systems GSC16-GRSC9-09a3 PWMS is a part of PMSE and includes:All wireless equipment used at the front end of all professional audio productions, like: stage productions, public events, TV program production, installation in conference centres/rooms, city halls, musical and theatres, sport/event centres or other professional entities/ installations.

7. Challenges Spectrum Scarcity (PMSE operates mainly in 470-862 MHz) Digital Dividend in Germany: PMSE lost 72 MHz of spectrum, 790-862 MHz (Digital Dividend II: Under discussion for Public Safety Services) More Digital TV Transmission: DVB-T and DVB-T2 in parallel More Events, More Productions Higher Quality in Video and Audio Coexistence of PMSE with Analogue / Digital TV Transmission – with ATV since 50 years Cellular Mobil Services – since Digital Dividend, in Germany: April 2010 Other PMSE Other Short Range Devices – New kinds of TV Band Devices (ECMA-392, IEEE 802.11af) ???
