Call for Roundtables

At this year’s TTC 2021 we will be introducing the concept of roundtable discussions. We want roundtables to be an open discussion of varied topics in where information can be shared, become a teaching place or anything that will keep the attendees engaged for the thirty (30) minute duration. The goal is to keep things interesting, fun, or thought provoking. Topics can pertain to the Television and Cinema Engineering realm or anything that you feel would be of interest to our audience. We have a roundtable in place with a working title “Lithium-ion batteries, electric vehicles, autonomous driving’.

To become a host or moderator of a roundtable please submit a topic and brief description. If interested, please submit your idea to smptepapers@gmail.com. If you could be so kind to add ‘Roundtable’ to the subject line. That will send your request to myself and Ilya Doronin, who are co-organizers to the roundtables portion of the TTC 2021 conference. Each submission will be reviewed and vetted. There are limited spaces available.

Roundtables will be scheduled in two blocks (morning and afternoon) throughout the three-day event. All participants hosting or moderating a roundtable will be awarded an all-access pass to the TTC 2021 conference.

Call for Presentations

The Toronto Section of the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers is once again proud to be holding its widely popular biennial Toronto Technical Conference (TTC) on June 15-17, 2021. This year the conference will be virtual. The theme will be Media Fast Forward’. With the rapid and wide-ranging changes taking place in our media industries, the theme for this year’s conference focuses simply on the changing workflows in Media; from how we work it to how it is consumed and experienced.
 
We would like to invite you to be a presenter at our event and deliver a presentation on a topic you feel is relevant to our theme of Media Fast Forward. Feel free to offer a subject from the leading edge of your knowledge and experience. Our Organizing Committee has come up with a few topical suggestions and examples: 
 
  • The changing “Digital Landscape” – Streaming Technologies, Esports, VR / AR
  • UHD and HDR - Bigger, Better, Faster Pixels
  • Standards for UHD and IP
  • Cybersecurity, Networking Technology
  • The Cloud – Remote Production, Microservices, Virtualization
  • Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Machine Learning (ML)
  • Automated Workflows
  • Evolution of Television and Cinema Workflows

You are invited to submit one or more abstracts outlining the topic to be covered and presentation title, illustrating the proposed breadth and depth of the content. The presentation delivery time should be 20 minutes in length including an opportunity for attendee Q&A. Submission of an abstract implies the presenter’s ability to attend and deliver the presentation, all presentations will be delivered remotely. We would also like to encourage presenters and non-presenters to host a round table, if this is of interest to you, please let us know by April 29, 2021.
