SMPTE Engineering CommitteesStandards Committee (ST)
SMPTE Technology CommitteesStatement of Participation to Become a Committee Member.
General Scope:To develop SMPTE engineering documents; review existing documents to ensure that they are current with established engineering practices and are compatible with other international engineering documents where possible; recommend and develop test specifications, methods and materials; prepare tutorial material on engineering subjects for publication in the SMPTE Motion Imaging Journal or for other means of dissemination benefiting the Society and the industry. The Technology Committees fall into three categories Specific Scopes:The General Scope is supplemented by a specific scope for each Technology Committee to identify clearly the committee's area of prime responsibility and distinguish its responsibilities from those of other committees.
Essence 10EThe general scope as it applies to electronic capture, generation, editing, mastering, archiving, and reproduction of image, audio, subtitles, captions, and any other master elements required for distribution across multiple applications Applications CommitteesFilm 20FThe application of the general scope as it applies to application of mastered essence to theatrical film distribution, including, media and component creation, marking, laboratory methods, reproduction, packaging, projection, and related topics. Additionally film capture, editing and recording. D-Cinema 21DCThe application of the general scope as it applies to application of mastered essence to theatrical digital distribution, including compression, encryption, wrapping, marking, packaging, media, logging, playout, projection, reproduction, and related topics. Television 22TVThe general scope as it applies to application of mastered essence to television distribution, including compression, encryption, wrapping, marking, packaging, media, control, display presentation, reproduction, and related topics.
Broadband 23BThe general scope as it applies to application of mastered essence to electronic broadband distribution, including compression, encryption, wrapping, marking, packaging, tracking/control, presentation, reproduction, and related topics.
Infrastructure CommitteesMetadata/Registries 30MRThe application of the general scope as it applies to definition and implementation of the SMPTE Registration Authority, used to identify digital assets and associated metadata. Additionally, the common definition of metadata semantic meaning across multiple committees. Files Structures 31FSThe application of the general scope as it applies to definition of common wrapper structures for storage, transmission, and use in the carriage of all forms of digital content components. Network/Facilities Infrastructure 32NFThe application of the general scope as it applies to definition and control of elements supporting the infrastructures of content production and distribution facilities, including file management, transfer protocols, switching mechanisms, and physical networks that are both internal and external to the facility excluding unique final distribution methods. Time Labeling and Synchronization 33TSThe application of the general scope as it applies to the definition of time labeling of essence and the synchronization of systems and essence in both digital and analog forms over networked and streaming transports. |
