SMPTE Contributions to Standardization in the U.S.

National and international standardization in the fields of interest of the SMPTE are the the Society's responsibility — by agreement with the ASA and other engineering societies. The SMPTE's engineering committees are charged with the technical evaluation and development of such standards; their activities during 1955–58 (the interval between meetings of the ISO) are reviewed in order to present a correlation between American and international standards and to provide a progress report on standardization in the SMPTE.
