Welcome to the SMPTE Sum-Up, the weekly publication that details the recent and current events of your favorite standards development organization. This week at SMPTE:
It was a quieter week for SMPTE, as staff and sections readied themselves for the 2024 NAB Show taking place April 13-17. However, SMPTE Education still held quite the event! The webcast, Using Psychophysics as a Creative Tool, was held this week, and it was a master class on the bridge connection art and science. Lead by Senior Colorist, Rory Gordon, attendees now have a deeper understanding of the connection between stimuli and perception when it comes to media.
The 2024 NAB Show is almost here and SMPTE will be hosting a ton of sessions! Check out educational events from Future of Cinema, Rapid Industry Solutions On-Set Virtual Production (RIS-OSVP) and Open Services Alliance (OSA), and so much more! All of SMPTE’s sessions, speakers, and more can be found here. See you at NAB!
Speaking of NAB, RIS-OSVP is hosting an afterparty at Vu Studios! Professionals and enthusiasts of Virtual Production are invited to eat, drink, and be merry after a long day at NAB! Hosted by Vū, and sponsored by Planar, Megapixel, QST-LED, MOD Tech Labs, The Studio B&H, and Pixotope, the event will feature sponsor testimonies and an address from SMPTE Executive Director David Grindle. The party takes place on April 16 so register now!
