Monthly Technology Webcast — Complimentary for SMPTE Members
TITLE: Low-Latency Live Streaming
https://www.smpte.org/webcasts/Low-Latency
SPEAKER: Russell Trafford-Jones, broadcast engineer, editor of TheBroadcastKnowledge.com
WHEN: Thursday, May 16, 1 p.m. EDT
Live video streaming over the internet is a big growth area for broadcasters and OTT services alike. Broadcasters are expected to have live streams at a similar latency to their broadcasts, while pure-streaming services see matching the latency of over-the-air broadcasters as another way to prove their legitimacy and further swing viewing over to the internet. Work continues apace in developing technologies that can deliver ultra-low latency. We will look at how it can be achieved, what the status is of those projects, and how well they stack up in real life.

Standards Webcast — Free and Open to All
TITLE: ST 429-18 Immersive Cinema Track File and 429-19 Immersive Audio DCP constraints
https://www.smpte.org/webcasts/Immersive-cinema-track
SPEAKER: Steve LLamb, Vice President, Media Technology Standards at Deluxe Entertainment Services Group, and co-chair of SMPTE 21DC
WHEN: Thursday, May 23, 1 p.m. EDT
Building on the work done in 25CSS to create the Immersive Audio Bitstream Essence (SMPTE ST 2098-2) published last year, work was continued in 21DC to create standards based on current practice for packaging and distributing DCPs that contain the 2098-2 Essence. The DCP needed to be functional with existing deployed systems while also maintaining backward compatibility with existing Dolby ATMOS content and rendering systems. Work was done to create a track file (ST 429-18) that would be compatible with a DCinema CPL (ST 429-7), and concurrently, to create additional constraints for Immersive Audio DCPs (ST 429-19) that would be used in addition to, and maintaining compliance with, current DCP Operation Constraints (ST 429-2). This webcast will explore these topics in depth.
SMPTE Standards Webcasts are free and open to all.
