Cannot tell from the article whether it is related to the corner room project. But it is possible. Connecting the dots - the article you linked: eet.com <snip> Zhang and two graduate students from Shanghai Jiaotang University joined forces in Beijing with 10 other engineers in February 1996. The team became the main researchers on the HDTV prototype effort as well as coordinators of nine technical subgroups . The subgroups now focus on video and audio encoding, multiltiplexing, channel encoding for VSB and OFDM, tuners, source decoding and transmitters. A total of 200 engineers from nine colleges and institutes are working on those technologies. --------------- The corner room was under the direction of the Academy of Broadcasting Science. eetimes.com ---------------- The trial run in September 1998 included the Academy of BroadCasting Science: eet.com <snip> In July 1996, the HDTV project gained government approval and sponsorship. Nine universities, institutes and manufacturing concerns-as well as the former Ministry of Electronic Industry, Ministry of Radio, Film and Television, State Education Committee and others-were tapped to conduct research. Shanghai Jiaotong University, Zhejiang University, the Academy of Broadcasting Science, a branch of the former electronic industry ministry, Beijing Broadcasting Equipment Facility and other partners also joined in. ---------- The trial run uses the term "as well as" and then mentions 9 organizations including Shanghai Jiaotong University and the project director (Zhang) and two graduate students who coordinate everything are from Shanghai Jiaotong University. So I am assuming the Academy of Broadcasting science is part of the core 9 and maybe the corner room project is part of the solution.
