  • SMPTE to host three webcasts on HDR and Displays in April

    Two of the webcasts are free for all takers, with the third free to the Society's members.

    Sri Peruvemba, SMPTE Board Member and Chair of Marketing of SID will host this months first webcast.The 2019 Display Trends and Hot Display Apps Webcast for/with SID (Society for Information Display) will be on Tuesday, April 9, 1 p.m. EST. It is Free and Open to All.



    The webcast will focus on exciting 2019 display trends and hot display apps. Some of the trends covered will include AR, VR, and mixed reality, as well as bendable, foldable, and rollable displays. And you'll learn about cool apps for e-paper, e-tablets, smart surfaces, TV, smartphones, digital signage, and wearables.

    The second webcast is also 'Free and Open to All'. Electronic Camera and Display Fundamentals — From Light to Code Values and From Code Values to Light! hosted by Ricardo Figueroa, Associate Professor and Chair for the Motion Picture Science Program at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) is part of the Essential Technology Concepts Webcast series.



    On Thursday, April 18, 1 p.m. EST Figueroa will discuss the basic technical concepts that describe how electronic cameras and electronic displays work. He will describe the journey light takes from a scene to the electronic sensor inside a camera and back out to light on an electronic display.

    Have you ever wondered how light gets converted into an electronic signal? What a pixel code value really is? What that pixel code value represents, and how it is converted back to light on a display? What the acronyms CCD, CMOS, LCD, DLP, and OLED mean? If you have wondered these things, this webcast is for you.
    Monthly Technology Webcast — Open to SMPTE Members

    For accessing the New Criteria to Measure HDR Image Quality webcast, one has to join the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers.



    Pierre (Pete) Hugues Routhier, Eng., M.Eng., former Aerospace Engineer, Advanced Imaging Technologies Specialist, and Author of "A Digital Troublemaker Guide to HDR" Will discuss the current state of HDR content. Since the high-dynamic-range (HDR) image container is much wider than classic HDTV and DCI containers, allowing content creators to display much more luminance information than previously possible. The question arises does content take advantage of this new format? It depends on many factors, including the conditions in which the content is shot. In this SMPTE Technology Series webcast, image specialist Pierre (Pete) Hugues Routhier suggests four criteria to determine whether images take full advantage of HDR and how to apply those criteria to a variety of asset types, such as sports, talk shows, dramatic series, and movies, to help assess their potential to amaze viewers with HDR.

    The HDR Quality webcast will start on Thursday, April 25, 1 p.m. EST.
