100 Years Of SMPTE To Be Celebrated At IBC
SMPTE's 100-year history is to be celebrated at IBC2016, it has been announced.
The-then Society of Motion Picture Engineers held its first meeting on 24 July 1916. The primary driver for the organisation's foundation was a call for standards to allow interoperability, something which remains central to SMPTE's work today.
"In the relatively short life of our industry, it is rare indeed to celebrate a centenary," said Michael Crimp, CEO of IBC. "The core work of SMPTE, around standards for interoperability, is as vital today as it has ever been. As one of the partner bodies which make up IBC, SMPTE is also critical to guiding our events forward, another reason that we should be celebrating this 100th birthday."
Barbara Lange, Executive Director of SMPTE, added: "We have three pillars: standards, membership and education. None is more important than the others, and none would survive without the others. Together, we advance the art, science and craft of the moving image. On behalf of our membership and all who work to progress the ideals of SMPTE, I thank IBC for honouring us in this very special way in our centenary year."
SMPTE is one of six trade bodies which form the IBC Partnership. Its centenary will be recognised during the IBC2016 Awards Ceremony. Barbara Lange will collect the award, together with Robert Seidel, SMPTE President, and other members of the SMPTE board of governors. The Awards Ceremony will be held on Sunday, 11 September at 6.30pm. It is free to all IBC attendees.
