  • Program:

    • SGI engineer and SMPTE-SF officer Jason Mancebo will discuss "DistributeData/View Video", the idea that, unless you need to view the videoalong the way, you can distribute content more efficiently as data viaIP networks than as SDI or composite-analog video.

    Jason will examine the technology that enables the concept, discussdifficulties in implementation, and show some applications and their benefits.He'll use two real-world success stories as examples: Swedish TV (SverigesTelevision) and French Public TV (France Television Publicite), both broadcastfacilities where the "Distribute Data/View Video" concept has formed akey part of their daily operations. It's a new way of looking at anold problem of how to efficiently move pictures and sound throughout afacility, station group, region, or even around the world.

    White papers on this topic:
    "DistributeData/View Video"
    "NetworkedMedia Servers in a Wide Area Network Digital News Environment"
     

    Welcome:

    SMPTEsf  welcomes members and friends to attend without charge.Reservations are not required for this meeting.

    Location:

    A NEW VENUE WITH A NEW MENU: Many people don't have time to eatas they rush from work to SMPTE meetings. For that reason, the officersof the SMPTE-SF have tried hard over the past few years to arrange forrefreshments at our meetings. That gets expensive for a volunteer organization,although sometimes corporate sponsors generously supply food and drink.This month, we're trying something different: you can have some fun withpizza, other goodies, and drinks (like, beer, eh?) while enjoying a technicalpresentation in a relaxed atmosphere. It's "no host"—you buy—but you'vegot to get dinner somewhere!

    This Round Table has a separate, quiet meeting room closed off fromthe main area that will neatly accommodate us.

    Here's an interesting fact in culinary history: This Menlo Park restaurantwas the first-ever Round Table, the one that started the chain.

    See you there on Thursday, the 25th!
