The 2018 NAB Shows Future of Cinema Conference, produced in partnership with SMPTE , will examine the future of movie-making. The conference will also dive deep into shifting models and opportunities for monetization, featuring hot topics such as next-gen cinema, high-dynamic-range (HDR), and immersive media (AR/VR/MR).

Past SMPTE President Peter Lud , CTO at Mission Rock Digital LLC., will be among the speakers addressing aspects of working with next-generation movie-making technologies. A study of viewing habits of Gen Z: The YouTube Generation will be presented by his daughter, 15-year-old Helen Lud . SMPTE Member Michael Zink, vice president of technology at Warner Bros., is producing the session, Getting Ready for Next Generation Cinema, featuring Ronan Boitard of Barco/MTT Innovation, Gary Feather of NanoLumens, and Jon Karafin of Light Field Lab, Inc.

Britta Wilson, who serves as vice president of inclusion strategies at Pixar, will host a session titled Diversity & Inclusion in the Cinema Workspace. Further sessions will focus on the future of HDR, the emergence of location-based entertainment, and the techniques and technology used to capture immersive images.

Dedicated to educating visitors and highlighting the business and creative benefits of IP, the IP Showcase will provide a unified, industry-wide view of the latest advances in IP technology and how it can add maximum value to the broadcast industry and the individuals and companies that drive it. Visitors to the IP Showcase will see engineering progress along with real-world examples of IP applications from leading networks and program producers. The exhibition also will assist broadcast/IT engineers, CEOs, producers, and others in determining how they can effectively leverage the recently published SMPTE ST 2110 standards documents. More information about ST 2110 is available at smpte.org/st-2110.
