SMPTE Publications and Resources at IBC2016
Throughout IBC2016, SMPTE staff will be available on the stand within the IBC Partnership Village to discuss current trends and answer questions about SMPTE activities, resources, and publications, including the latest SMPTE Standards Quarterly Report, which details the outcome of the June SMPTE Standards Committee meeting. The Standards report summarizes the current progress of SMPTE committees that are working to create, approve, revise, and remove standards for the industry and is available at www.smpte.org/standards/meeting-reports. Copies of the August 2016 special centennial edition of the SMPTE Motion Imaging Journal, as well as the September 2016 Progress Report issue of the Societys key publication, will be available on the stand. The centennial issue will celebrate the Societys past while honoring the present and looking toward the future. The Progress Report issue will focus on trends and developments in the motion-imaging industry.
Readers may access Journal content from 1916 to the present from the SMPTE Digital Library, providing one-stop access to SMPTE resources that keep professionals informed of the latest technology and industry research. The SMPTE Digital Library has been fully incorporated into the IEEE Xplore Digital Library, one of the industrys most popular sources for technical publications. A complete listing of SMPTE publications is available at www.smpte.org/publications.
The next generation of SMPTEs Digital PROjection VErifier (DPROVE2) is now available to help cinemas simplify and accelerate adoption of the SMPTE Digital Cinema Package (SMPTE-DCP). Ymagis Group, the European specialist in digital technologies for the cinema industry, already has used DPROVE2 to simplify and accelerate adoption of SMPTE-DCP, and SMPTE is making a distribution Key Delivery Message (KDM) for DPROVE2 available to any exhibition group or chain interested in verifying its cinemas SMPTE-DCP readiness. More information is available at www.smpte.org/dprove2.
Smartphone users who enhance their images with software now have a color reference to aid in adjustment.

The glossy 4-inch by 4-inch chart, available for evaluation on the SMPTE IBC2016 stand, features 12 colors, four skin tones, six high-saturation colors, and five-step grayscale, as well as a Fiddlehead Focus chart on the reverse that provides the user the option of manually focusing the camera or allowing it to autofocus.
