Dear MPEGIF News Readers,

Happy New Years!!! I hope that each of you had a very happy holiday season. 

 

With the new year here, I want to take the opportunity to do a little bit of
MPEGIF housekeeping. The MPEG Industry Forum office moved over the holidays,
the new contact information is:

MPEG Industry Forum

48377 Fremont Blvd., Suite 117

Fremont, CA 94538

Phone: +1-510-492-4028

Fax: +1-510-492-4001

Website:  <http://www.mpegif.org/> www.mpegif.org 

 

I would encourage each of you to take a look at the updated MPEGIF Logo
Qualification Program which is open to all companies. The number of
participants in this program is steadily increasing and you will not want to
miss the chance to be a part of this exciting program. Be on the lookout for
an MPEGIF press release announcing the companies who have recently completed
the program.

 

Keep an eye out for the upcoming MPEGIF Master Class at NAB2007. MPEGIF will
present an educational full day conference session with high level keynote
speakers and panellists discussing industry trends. MPEGIF will provide
breakfast and lunch and will give away a Video Ipod to one lucky attendee.
Sponsorships for this session and a networking party the following night
will be made available in the coming month, if you are interested please
contact Nicola Wissler.

 

As always MPEGIF encourages you to review the upcoming events listed below,
and let us know if you or someone from your company is speaking or
exhibiting at them. MPEGIF is always looking for opportunities to promote
our members and their activities to the rest of the industry.

 

Kind Regards, 

 

Sebastian Moeritz 

President, MPEGIF

models and payment methods

*          Insights into how to create an enjoyable and rich user experience

IPTV World Forum Latin America

January 30-31, 2007

Rio, Brazil

This conference will seek to define the Latin American digital TV
marketplace today, the prospects for growth and the potential for IPTV to
become a viable delivery platform for broadcast television and VOD. We will
draw upon lessons from Europe, Asia and North America on how successful IPTV
services are designed, with reference to the types of services and content
that works - and especially how IPTV providers can differentiate themselves
from the existing video offers from cable and satellite.

Confirmed Speakers include the following MPEGIF Members:

o         David Price, VP MPEGIF, Harmonic Inc

3DTV-Conference

May 7-9, 2007

Kos Island, Greece

Research in capturing 3D scenery, processing the captured data for
transmission, and displaying the result for 3D viewing has become
increasingly important as 3D information is used for more and more
applications. The objective of the 3DTV-CON 2007 is to bring together
researchers and developers from academia and industry with diverse
experience and activity in distinct, yet complementary, areas so that full
scale 3D video capabilities are seamlessly integrated.

3DTV CON 2007 is organized by the EU IST 3D-TV Network of Excellence (and
the Informatics and Telematics Institute of Greece (ITI-CERTH).

The event is sponsored by IEEE, EURASIP and MPEG Industry Forum.

Topics include:

- 3D Capture and Processing

- 3D Transmission

- 3D Visualization

- 3D Applications

The deadline for paper submission is 15 December and the paper acceptance
list will be announced on 9 February. All accepted papers will be published
by IEEE (online publication in IEEE Xplore).
