SMPTE issues call for papers

The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) is seeking proposals for technical papers for the SMPTE 2016 Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition (SMPTE 2016).

The papers must be informational and address technical theory, research, innovations, applications, or practices specific to any of the evolving technologies associated with the media technology industry, according to the SMPTE.

“Last year we received a record number of proposals for the Annual Technical Conference, and the quality and diversity of submissions made for an exceptional lineup of presentations,” said Paul Chapman, past SMPTE Hollywood region governor and program committee chair for SMPTE 2016.

“We expect a similarly impressive array of submissions this year, and we look forward to providing a rich slate of sessions to complement the exciting conference events celebrating SMPTE’s centennial.”

SMPTE 2016 takes place in Hollywood, California on October 24-28. Initial abstracts must be submitted online no later than April 22.
