Each day, great technologi-
cal advances are being made
throughout the entire indus-
try affecting content creation,
post production and content
delivery. SMPTE leads the
way in standards develop-
ment and has been critical in
bringing the industry togeth-
er, as a whole.
This book touches on the
most influential standards
and how they pertain to the
general public and industry
alike.
In fact, SMPTE members
exist in over 65 countries
worldwide; SMPTE itself is
recognized as the global
leader in the development
of standards and authorita-
tive practices for film, televi-
sion, video and multimedia.
Over 200 sustaining (insti-
tutional) Members belong to
SMPTE, branching-out so as
to reach even the smallest
media imaging niche. Now
present in every discipline,
their thousands of members
not only include engineers,
but also technical directors,
cameramen, editors, techni-
cians, manufacturers, design-
ers, educators, consultants
and field users in network-
ing, compression, encryption
and any other field employ-
ing images. They stay one
step ahead of technology via
their frequent technical con-
ferences and seminars, which
encourage useful interaction
and information exchange.
SMPTE is a society
of engineers, and
engineers solve
problems.
