2015 NAB Shows Technology Summit on Cinema (TSC): Building the Future of Storytelling
The 2015 NAB Shows Technology Summit on Cinema (TSC), produced in partnership with SMPTE, will be dedicated to exploring the technical and creative innovations that will define the cinema experience of tomorrow. From April 11-12, the two-day summit, titled Building the Future of Storytelling, will look ahead to the future, examining both the creative and technical forces that will shape the art and science of storytelling.
The TSC opens with How Successful Is the Digital Revolution and the Technology Future for Theaters? Speakers will examine the impact that all-digital distribution and projection has had on studios and theatrical exhibitors, as well as the costs and benefits of further technical advances. Picking up on the idea of technical innovations, New Developments in Cinema Screen Technology will bring together top solution providers in the field for an examination of evolving screen technology including new surface materials, engineered particles, and the wider viewing angles now obtainable, as well as techniques for improving uniformity of illumination and for optimizing laser illumination with polarized screens. Cinema and Virtual Reality: Perfect Together will feature experts representing leading postproduction facilities and cinema display technologies in a panel discussion addressing the latest virtual reality innovations and their potential in a cinema environment. Note the keynote speakers for Saturday and Sunday will soon be revealed.
Also during the TSC, attendees will have the opportunity to screen an exclusive first-look at SMPTEs Moving Images documentary in 4K. The SMPTE documentary, currently in production, will explore the exciting evolution of motion-imaging technology from the turn of the 20th century through the present while speculating on what the future has in store. Attendees will be among the first to catch a glimpse and meet the documentarys director, Howard Lukk, producer, Randall Dark, cinematographer, Travis LaBella, and editor, Bobby Hewitt for a brief discussion and Q&A on this compelling project.
SMPTE members may use code SD01 through March 27 to take $100 off the NAB nonmember rate for a SMART or Conference Flex Pass registration, or to get a free Exhibits-Only Pass. After March 27, a $25 registration-processing fee applies.

SMPTE Publications and Resources at the 2015 NAB Show:
Joint Task Force on Networked Media Report
During the 2015 NAB Show, SMPTE will highlight the Joint Task Force on Networked Media (JT-NM) report titled Minimum Viable System Requirements of a Sample System Architecture for Live Multi-Camera Studio Production. This report presents the detailed requirements of the minimum viable system (MVS) that was introduced in the Phase 2 interim report released in December 2014. MVS is a sample system architecture that addresses a well-known operational scenario of minimal scope. This set of requirements could change or be expanded in the future to reflect the development of the JT-NM reference architecture. The outcome report from the recently concluded standards meetings will also be available at the NAB Show.
