Once again, SMPTE is well-represented in virtually every aspect of IBC2014, said Barbara Lange, executive director, SMPTE. Not only do we have a record number of members participating in technical sessions, several members are taking leadership roles in shaping conference topics and content. This is one example of how SMPTE is helping our industry adapt to rapid technological changes and stay abreast of todays motion-imaging trends.
The following are highlights of SMPTE-driven technical sessions:

As an IBC2014 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. This popular program gives new entrants to the broadcast industry the opportunity to meet top industry experts across a series of specially staged sessions and events.
