Speaker: Regis Crinon, Lead Program
Manager for Core Media Processing Technologies for Microsoft
Our speaker, Regis Crinon, will give us an overview of the set of Windows Media 9 Series technologies designed to provide the building blocks of an end-to-end digital audio/video service infrastructure. Third parties can use these technologies to develop their own solutions and applications across a variety of networks and devices. He'll particularly focus on the digital audio and video compression technologies that are part of the Windows Media 9 Series. The presentation will include a detailed overview of the codec, which Microsoft has recently submitted to the SMPTE for standardization.
Dr. Crinon has been a significant contributor to the television broadcast industry, starting with work at Tektronix in digital video coding and processing. He co-developed three-dimensional NTSC and PAL chrominance/luminance separation systems for several Grass Valley Group products and for the Emmy award-winning Profile video editor. He participated in the MIT Advanced Television Research Program, where he was a visiting scientist specializing in high definition television. He was a data services architect for the TELE-TV Set-Top-Box project at Thomson Consumer Electronics, worked on MPEG-4 and DTV Data Services at Sharp Laboratories, managed engineering for DTV datacasting-to-PC at Intel, and is currently an engineering manager at Microsoft.
