Stan Moote to be honoured with SMPTE award posted: 25/08/2015

IABM is proud to announce that its recently appointed CTO, Stan Moote, is set to be awarded the 2015 SMTPE Digital Processing Medal.

First established in 2012, the SMPTE Digital Processing Medal recognises significant technical achievements related to the development of digital processing of content for motion picture, television, games or other related media.

The SMPTE Board of Governors has approved Moote as the recipient of the award in honour of his contributions and achievements' to the industry. The Digital Processing Medal recognises Moote's development of the first reliable video/audio scrambling system for composite analog video and analog audio in the early 1980s. The system digitised the analog signal, scrambled it, and reconstructed an analog signal which could be transmitted over satellite or microwave links with complete security. Once developed, the system was subsequently granted both a Canadian and US patent.

The prestigious accolade will be awarded to Moote at the SMPTE 2015 Annual Technical Conference & Exhibition, which takes place at the Loews Hollywood Hotel, Hollywood, California, 26-29 October. The award will be received during the Society's Honors and Awards Ceremony on the final day of the conference.

IABM announced Stan Moote's appointment as CTO in early August. The role will see Moote contribute to IABM's technology thought leadership, he will assume responsibility for the development and scope of technical boards, committees, technology events, as well as assisting and formulating growth strategies across North America and the APAC region.

Peter White, CEO, IABM said: This is a fitting tribute to the fantastic contribution that Stan has made to the industry throughout his career. His level of knowledge in technology is based on years of experience, and the award gives him the recognition he deserves for his natural ability to create and innovate.
