The first DigiMedia '94 conference comes to an end:
the event is a great success
Geneva - more than 350 computer graphics specialists, broadcasters, producers 
and research laboratories, institutes of technology and universities, 
audiovisual program production companies, software publishers and television 
corporations have been able to air their views on the latest developments in 
software design, programme production and multimedia distribution and 
management.
Based on four modules, DigiMedia '94 has presented a broad overview of 
multimedia, from computer-generated images and programme production using such 
images to the distribution of multimedia productions in new formats, focusing 
particularly on multimedia television techniques.
In addition, DigiMedia '94 has fulfilled its role as a forum of exchange between 
professionals in different but complementary areas. DigiMedia '94 has been a 
unique opportunity for pioneers of the images of the future to discover, within 
their respective areas, the other links in the chain which will bring multimedia 
into our daily lives.
At the same time, exhibitors have had a chance to present multimedia products. 
Audiovisual Eureka, for example, was able to present and to sell its showcase 
projects LightStudio (lighting simulation software for TV and film), European 
Children Television Channel (an introduction to audiovisual and multimedia for 
young people) and Interactive Europe, a multimedia presentation of 3000 years of 
European history and cultural traditions.
In view of the great success of this first DigiMedia Conference, the organizers 
have decided to repeat the experiment. The occasion will be at the CICG from 
19-21 April 1995.
