Reports from the SMPTE Technology and Task Force Committees

I am immensely proud of the hard work of the SMPTE Technology committees during the unusual global business climate of 2020–2021. The global pandemic has accelerated many changes within the media technology industry, particularly the move to cloud-based processing and virtualized production. SMPTE has surveyed its members and the industry to find out about the needs in artificial intelligence and machine learning as well as the needs for the characterization of devices in PTP/IP systems. The responses help guide the work of different technology committees as well as the society in general.
