Led by Mark Turner, Project Director, Production, Technology, MovieLabs, and featuring speakers from Prime Focus, Overcast, Skywalker Sound, Accenture and Microsoft, this ‘speed date’ session will share case studies that were selected for the MovieLabs Showcase initiative as real-world proof points that the 2030 Vision is providing significant benefits today.
SMPTE kicks things off the next day with ‘Architecting multi-cloud and on-prem workflows’ solutions for global production needs’.

This is followed by ‘Broadcast rocks: The foundational value of digital broadcast radio (DAB+)’. Attendees will hear how digital broadcast radio promotes democracy, trust and social commitment through high-quality news and unparalleled freedom of speech.
Ian Nock, Vice Chair, IET Media, will then introduce the first John Logie Baird Lecture session – ‘Scaling TV’, with leading practitioners in the industry presenting their views on the thinking and impact of IP-delivered TV.

Addressing the key issues facing the industry in 2023 and beyond, such as creative solutions to supply chain issues, the challenge of sustainability in the film and cinema sectors, HDR in cinema, cybersecurity as well as the latest audio developments, the seminar will include a range of high-level speakers.
SMPTE will once again start proceedings in Room E102 on Monday with a look at ‘AI in live broadcast and how SMPTE is utilising the EuroVOX tool created by EBU to make education more accessible’.
