      Sacramento

      Welcome to the Sacramento Section of SMPTE. We’re glad you stopped by our home page.

      Join Our Friends List

      Much of the Sacramento Section’s interest and activities lie within the region of Grass Valley, CA.

      Nestled in the Sierra Nevada foothills, Grass Valley’s roots as a hub for video and broadcast equipment technology  were planted when Dr. Donald Hare founded a tiny research and development company in 1959 called Grass Valley Group. Today, the quaint communities of Grass Valley and Nevada City provide a technological refuge from the hustle bustle of the bay area. The video and broadcast companies who call this area home are always looking to bring in new talent. Many offer intern programs to expose and inspire college students into the exciting world of broadcast. For those people looking to relocate to this area, they will appreciate the benefits of competitive compensation packages as well as an amazing quality of life.

      Sacramento Section November Virtual Meeting

      Captain Kirk of Star Trek fame said that “Space is the final frontier”. He may be right. However, time is giving space some competition. Media professionals care about accurate time and synchronization. This talk is about the second. What is a second, who defines it, how is it measured? What is the most common time of day? Why an atomic clock is not a clock? What is Einsteinian time dilation? What is the “Equation of Time” and how it relates to Tax Day (4/15)? What is a Hummingbird Clock and how could it save your life? Why atomic clocks and GPS are critical to video systems.
