* 1983 — SMPTE Progress Medal For his contributions to theater sound and his continuing work in noise reduction and quality improvements in audio and video systems and as a prime inventor of the videotape recorder

* 1985 — SMPTE Alexander M. Poniatoff Gold Medal

Originally conceived in the 1970s by Al Goldberg of CBS Laboratories, and previously categorized by SMPTE as ECR 1-1978, the development of this test pattern was awarded an Engineering Emmy in 2001-2002.

Thus, while D-Cinema is a defined standard, though one that is still partly being framed by SMPTE as of 2007, E-Cinema may be anything, ranging from a DVD player connected to a consumer projector to something that approaches the quality of D-Cinema without conforming to some of the standards.

MIDI Time Code ( MTC ), developed by Digidesign, implements SysEx messages that have been developed specifically for timing purposes, and is able to translate to and from the SMPTE time code standard.

The latest generation of WMV is standardized by SMPTE as the VC-1 standard.

By the late 20th century, particularly in the realm of sound synthesizers and digital recording, the click track became computerized and synchronizing different instruments became more complex, whereupon the click track was largely supplanted by SMPTE timecode.

Material eXchange Format ( MXF ) is a container format for professional digital video and audio media defined by a set of SMPTE standards.

Judging by SMPTE's index, all of the standards, referenced above, would be contained on those CD-ROMs, as available from SMPTE.

Significant standards promulgated by SMPTE include:

SMPTE timecode is a set of cooperating standards to label individual frames of video or film with a time code defined by the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers in the SMPTE 12M specification.

SMPTE timecodes () contain binary coded decimal hour: minute: second: frame identification and 32 bits for use by users.

By the early 1990s, a separate DTS-based 6-track digital sound system was used, similarly locked to the projector by a SMPTE time code synchronization apparatus.

The DPX file format was originally derived from Kodak Cineon open file format ( file extension ) used for digital images generated by its original film scanner, has then been improved and its latest version ( 2. 0 ) is currently published by SMPTE as ANSI / SMPTE 268M-2003.

1 inch type A videotape ( designated Type A by the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers, SMPTE ) was an open-reel helical scan videotape format developed by Ampex in 1965, one of the first standardized open-reel videotape formats in the 1 inch ( 25 mm ) width ; most others of that size at that time were proprietary ).

1 inch type C videotape ( designated Type C by SMPTE ) was a professional open-reel videotape format co-developed and introduced by Ampex and Sony in 1976.

D2 is a digital video tape format created by Ampex and other manufacturers ( through a standards group of SMPTE ) and introduced at the 1988 NAB ( National Association of Broadcasters ) convention as a lower-cost alternative to the D-1 format.

D-1 is an SMPTE digital recording video standard, introduced in 1986 through efforts by SMPTE engineering committees.

Serial digital interface ( SDI ) is a family of video interfaces standardized by SMPTE ( The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers ).

While much of the specification codifies work that had already been ongoing in the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers ( SMPTE ), the specification is important in establishing a content owner framework for the distribution and security of first-release motion picture content.

The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers ( SMPTE (, rarely ), founded in 1916 as the Society of Motion Picture Engineers or SMPE, is an international professional association, based in the United States of America, of engineers working in the motion imaging industries.

Through standardization from the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers ( SMPTE ), WMV 9 has gained adoption for physical-delivery formats such as HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc.

He was the founder and first president of the Society of Motion Picture Engineers ( now includes television, SMPTE ).

The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers ( SMPTE ) refers to this test pattern as Engineering Guideline EG 1-1990.

Some may also belong to the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers ( SMPTE ), or to organizations of related fields, such as the Audio Engineering Society or Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers ( IEEE )-IEEE Broadcast Technology Society ( BTS ).

The NHK system was standardized in the United States as Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers ( SMPTE ) standard # 240M in the early 1990s, but abandoned later on when it was replaced by a DVB analog standard.

This is documented and recognized by the Society Of Motion Picture Television Engineers: SMPTE 259M, SMPTE 292M, SMPTE 296M, SMPTE 372M.

D-2 is a professional digital recording videocassette format created by Ampex and other manufacturers through a standards group of the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers ( SMPTE ) and introduced at the 1988 NAB ( National Association of Broadcasters ) ( NAB ) convention as a lower-cost alternative to the D-1 format.

The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers ( SMPTE ) recommended, in SMPTE 196M, a screen luminance of 16 foot-lamberts for commercial movie theaters, " open-gate " with no film in the projector.

The results were so successful, shown to directors and Industry decision makers at the Directors Guild of America and Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers ( SMPTE ) meetings, that many were encouraged by the film-like images.

Formatting of this information is defined by the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers ( SMPTE ) digital cinema standards.

Digital Picture Exchange ( DPX ) is a common file format for digital intermediate and visual effects work and is an ANSI / SMPTE standard ( 268M-2003 ).

On the other side, Television metadata include full SMPTE time code, video overscan and field information, and signal / colour level information.

SMPTE 356M Television specification for a professional video format, it is composed of MPEG-2 Video 4: 2: 2 I-frame only and 8 channel AES3 audio streams.

MIDI time code ( MTC ), or MIDI time division, embeds the same timing information as standard SMPTE timecode as a series of small ' quarter-frame ' MIDI messages.

It is possible for a tape machine to synchronise to an MTC signal ( if converted to SMPTE ), if the tape machine is able to ' slave ' to incoming timecode via motor control, which is a rare feature.

SMPTE bars — and several other test cards — include analog black ( a flat waveform at 7. 5 IRE, or the NTSC setup level ), full white ( 100IRE ), and a " sub-black ", or " blacker-than-black " ( at 0 IRE ), which represents the lowest low-frequency transmission voltage permissible in NTSC broadcasts ( though the negative excursions of the colourburst signal may go below 0 IRE ).

By far, the most common version of the interface is the 10-bit serial digital interface ( which was later standardized as SMPTE 259M ), which is now a ubiquitous interconnect standard for professional video equipment which operates on standard-definition digital video.

* SMPTE video standards: VC-1 ( aka WMV3 ), VC-2 ( aka Dirac ), VC-3 ( aka AVID DNxHD ) and DPX image

A related standard, known as high-definition serial digital interface ( HD-SDI ), is standardized in SMPTE 292M ; this provides a nominal data rate of 1. 485 Gbit / s.

Dolby TrueHD, used in Blu-ray and HD DVD, employs MLP, but compared with DVD-Audio, adds higher bit rates, 8 full-range channels, extensive metadata, custom speaker placements ( as specified by SMPTE ), and timecode.

This work has been published as SMPTE 2032-1-2007 ( MDP specification ), 2032-2-2007 ( MDP / XML / HTTP mapping specification ) and 2032-3-2007 ( MDP Target pull profile specification ).

The 3K. 93C connector has been adopted by the American ( SMPTE 304M ), Japanese ( ARIB BTAS-1005B ) and European ( EBU R100-1999 ) standards organisations for HDTV fibre links for the broadcast market.

Based on many SMPTE and ISO standards, such as JPEG 2000-compressed image and " broadcast wave " PCM / WAV sound, it explains the route to create an entire Digital Cinema Package ( DCP ) from a raw collection of files known as the Digital Cinema Distribution Master ( DCDM ), as well as the specifics of its content protection, encryption, and forensic marking.

* In 1967, EECO created and introduced the EECO-900 edit controller, which used their proprietary " On-Time " time code ( the later and more standard SMPTE time code had not yet been developed ), which was used in conjunction with the Quad machines of the time, and was the successor to Ampex's Editec.
