SMPTE at IBC2015
SMPTE Technical Session: UHD: Where Do We Stand, and Where Are We Going?
SMPTE members will contribute to a variety of sessions during the IBC2015 exhibition, and the Society itself will present UHD: Where Do We Stand, and Where Are We Going? at 4 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 13, in the Emerald Theatre, as part of the Advances in Technology stream. SMPTE Executive Vice President Matthew Goldman, who is senior vice president of technology, TV compression, at Ericsson, will moderate the session as it addresses how UHDs implementation will affect broadcasting and theatrical releases and explores the full UHD ecosystem.
In particular, the session will explore new compression methods and standards used to deliver content to customers while discussing the relative contributions of resolution, high dynamic range (HDR), and wide color gamut (WCG) to delivering an immersive viewing experience. Case studies provided by leading broadcasters will examine the strategy and success of the pathfinders that have rolled out the first UHD implementations.
Hans Hoffmann, head of media production technology at the EBU and former SMPTE standards vice president, SMPTE Executive Member, Spencer Stephens, executive vice president and chief technology officer at Sony Pictures Entertainment will be among the experts contributing to the discussion.
SMPTE Conference Participation
In addition to chairing the SMPTE-produced session, Goldman also will participate in a SMPTE session titled Breaking the Codec: Are Current Video Compression Standards Enough? with SMPTE Fellow David Wood, a consultant to EBU Technology and Information, current chair of DVB groups in 3DTV and UHDTV, and past chair of the World Broadcasting Union Technical Committee. At 4:45 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 13, Goldman, Wood, and fellow panelists will explore current and emerging video compression standards, discuss the demands driving further development of such standards, and offer a look ahead at the standards that will carry the industry forward.
At 3:45 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 13, the EDCF Global Update session will include SMPTE Fellow, Siegfried Foessel, head of cinema technologies at Fraunhofer Institute; SMPTE Fellow, John Hurst, CEO at Cinecert; Julian Pinn, director at Julian Pinn Ltd.; and Richard Welsh, SMPTE governor for EMEA and Central and South America Region and CEO at Sundog Media Toolkit.
An annual fixture of IBC, the session brings attendees up to speed on the latest business, technology, and quality developments in cinema around the world. Leading practitioners will share their experience, answering questions in a focused, fast-moving session.
At 2 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 14, Immersive Cinema: Sound also will feature a panel made up almost entirely of SMPTE Members: Pinn, the session producer; Dean Bullock, director of technology strategy, cinema, at Dolby; Brian Claypool, senior director of strategic business development at Barco; Ton Kalker, vice president of emerging technologies at DTS; and Denis Tremblay, manager of electrical and audio engineering of audio technology at IMAX.
Together, these experts will provide a definitive update on the standards processes, reveal advances in immersive audio for cinema, and offer exclusive examples of immersive audio featured in the IBC Big Screen.
As an IBC2015 partner, SMPTE is once again supporting the Rising Stars program, which offers exclusive conference sessions tailored to tackle the topics most important to young professionals.
