The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE ), a leader in motion-imaging standards and education for the communications, media, entertainment, and technology industries, today announced that the SMPTE 2015 Annual Technical Conference & Exhibition , Oct. 26-29, in Hollywood, California, will feature an array of sessions dedicated to over-the-top (OTT), cloud, and IP (Internet Protocol)-based technology and services.

This years conference will give attendees a unique opportunity to gain insight from top engineers, executives, and researchers from across the modern media industry, said Paul Chapman, SMPTE Hollywood Region Governor and SMPTE 2015 program committee chair. As the notion of convergence becomes a concrete reality, and as content producers and providers begin the shift to IP and the cloud, the sessions at SMPTE 2015 offer an incomparable wealth of expertise and intelligence that will illuminate the path forward.
SMPTE 2015 will offer three days of technical sessions, with experts and thought leaders from motion picture studios, broadcast and distribution networks, the production and postproduction community, software companies, systems integrators, manufacturers, display technologies, distribution providers, OTT providers, and the evolving motion-imaging industry, as well as the information technology (IT), Internet, gaming, and the virtual reality/augmented reality (VR/AR) space.
The Technical Conference program will feature 20 presentations across four sessions related to OTT, cloud, and IP-based technology and services: IP and Networking Foundations of the Media Facility, Working in the Cloud - Practical Applications, File Based Workflows: Scalable, Efficient, and Here to Stay, and OTT - The New Frontier or the Wild West?
