Dear Friends of MPEGIF, 

 

 

MPEGIF is pleased to announce the formation of the Advanced Technology
Working Group.  The goal of the new group is to position MPEGIF and its
membership to be better able to address and promote new technologies and the
adoption of associated standards that could have major impact on television
products and services.

 

The Advanced Technology Working Group will serve as an umbrella group that
will have a wide scope of work and will include the continuation of the work
of the 3DTV Working Group that was formed at the beginning of 2010 at the
CES Show. 

 

In addition to 3DTV, the Advanced Technology Working Group will take on
tasks related to media security including DRM.  You will shortly see a
call-for-participation to begin looking at best practices related to the
exchange interface between encoders and key management systems. Today, these
interfaces are defined by encoder and DRM vendors pair-wise, causing
duplication of effort, multiple interfaces, and lack of interoperability.
Moving forward to find ways of reducing complexity and redundancy will be an
important part of making next-generation television efficient.

 

The new Advanced Technology Working Group will also take on oversight of
MPEGIF's long-standing Interoperability and Conformance Testing programs.
MPEGIF has created a complete library of test streams for use in MPEG4/AVC
self certification as well as procedure for performing self certification.
MPEGIF aims to continue to provide a forum for interoperability and
conformance testing to address the emergence of new television technologies
and services.

 

Our goal is to kick off the new group at IBC 2010 in Amsterdam and ask that
you and your company will continue to be an active participant. Following
the kick off meeting participation in the Advanced Technology Working Group
will be available to MPEGIF members only. Membership in the MPEG Industry
Forum includes many additional benefits, including: 

 

*	MPEGIF provides speaking opportunities at major events around the
world.
*	MPEGIF provides opportunities for discounts on registration to
industry events.
*	MPEGIF provides free publication of company profile, products and
services in the online member directory.
*	MPEGIF provides opportunities for participation in unique and
prestigious community directly involved in shaping the digitization of media
around the world.
*	MPEGIF provides business development and networking as well as
exclusive access to resources such as documents, reports, e-mail lists,
analysis etc. 

 

 

Today, MPEGIF is made up of more than 35 leading companies from all parts of
the world who work together to facilitate and further the widespread
adoption and deployment of MPEG and related standards in next generation
digital media services. 

 

You can complete the application for membership at:
http://www.m4if.org/join.php. If you have any questions about membership and
how to join please feel free to contact any of the MPEGIF Board of Directors
or myself.

 

 

Kind Regards,
