SMPTE Australia is seeking proposals for technical papers and tutorials to be presented in Paper Programmes including new ‘Boot Camps’ and ‘Master Classes/Workshops’ at this year’s SMPTE09 Exhibition & Conference, July 21 – 24 2009, Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre, Darling Harbour. Papers selected will be informational in nature and must address one or all of the eleven technical topics drawing relevance to SMPTE09’s theme, ‘Empowering the Next Generation’.
In previous years, the standard peer-reviewed Papers Programme has attracted numerous leading-edge papers focussing on everything from advanced developments and convergence technologies to trends and requirements for educating the next generation.
With SMPTE’s initiative of Media Industry Technologists Certification (MITC) now in place and the new addition of ‘Boot Camps’ and ‘Master Classes/Workshops, SMPTE09 will have an even greater focus on education. ‘Boot Camps’ will be intro-sessions that provide in-depth backgrounding on specific topics for the younger technologist; while, ‘Master Classes/Workshops’ will be intensive sessions for mid-career technologists, drilling deep into one subject. Both categories will be set as 1-2 hour sessions, with additional time scheduled for ‘hot button’ issues.
The technical topics for Session Ideas and Conference Papers are:
- Education: next generation, transition from old to new
- 3D-stereoscopy: 3D imaging, processing, distribution and display
- 4K-acquisition: shooting in 4K resolution, storage, archiving, solutions
- Television: analogue switch off – are we there yet, how long will it take and what is the US/UK experience?
- Film and its associated processes: death of film, new film stocks, digital intermediaries
- Post production: ‘tapeless workflow’
- Mobile/IPTV: production, Next G, full screen
- Outside broadcasts: high definition and its impact on major events
- Radio: the effect of DAB, future developments, impact of the internet
- Compression: DVB-T2 in Australia, what will provoke the replacement of MPEG-2 with MPEG-4?
- Archiving: going digital, latest developments.
Interested parties are invited to submit a 200-word synopsis to papers@smpte.com.au. In doing so, papers should be marked indicating whether they are aimed at ‘Boot Camp’, “Master Class’ or tabled for peer review. Ideas for workshops, sessions or panels as well as papers are welcome.
