SMPTE Seeks Tech Papers For 2013 Conference

The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers is now accepting technical papers to be presented at the organization’s 2013 Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition.

“Presentation of technical papers is a critical part of the conference and an ideal forum for showcasing new technical theory, research, innovation, applications and practices specific to the industry,” said Patrick Griffis, SMPTE’s VP of education.
