I tried to send this to RMorgan but the mail bounced. Here is the basic info again. If anyone wants the details of the papers being presented please e-mail me directly. On 9 Nov. 1992 there will be two Pre-Conference Workshops at the 134th Technical Conference and Equipment Exhibition in Toronto. Each Workshop runs a full (very full) day. 1) Multimedia World This workshop will provide both theoretical and hands-on coverage of multimedia tools and applications; discussion will be devoted to display, processing, control, and communications. Information on computer platforms -- PCs, Macs, and workstations -- will be presented and forecasts of the technology's future will be offered. The tutorial will include an over view of the many multimedia standards which exist and are under development, including SMPTE, ISO, and CCITT standards. In addition, the session will address the topics of multimedia production, covering the process of creating electronic multimedia productions and demonstrating techniques of bringing together sound, full-motion video, stills, graphics and text; teletraining and distance education, focusing on interactive, easily accessible educational materials; productivity and groupware, highlighting work group and networking arrangements; and multimedia applications, covering the process of communicating and conveying information interactively. 2) The Post Experience This workshop will give attendees an overview of current vido editing disciplines, including the integration of computer graphic images with video. During the day, speakers will place emphasis on the electronic post-production process, including film transfer, the screening of dailies, off-line editing, on-line editing, colour correction, and special effects. Sound editing, sound effects, Foley, and automatic dialogue replacement and mixing will also be covered in full detail. As part of the tutorial, registrants will help assemble a one-minute segment of a television show transfered from film to videotape through to editing and final international versioning. A prize will be awarded to the attendee who wears the most logos from the television and motion-picture industries. Dress casually. This workshop was run earlier this year and the attendees found it was an outstanding event. ***** During the SMPTE 134th Technical Conference and Exhibition, 10 - 13 Nov. 1992 in Toronto there will be a number of ongoing workshops and clinics being offered. 1) Multimedia Workshop Program Hands-on workshops focusing on multimedia, featuring demonstrations and close interaction with media integration technology, as opposed to a lecture-type format. One workshop will be offered each day of the conference. Multimedia Production - Tuesday; Teletraining and Distance Learning - Wednesday; Multimedia Communications - Thursday; Information Access and Retrieval - Friday. 2) Creativity Clinics These clinics are a new feature at the SMPTE Equipment Exhibition. During these sessions, well-known industry experts will offer demonstrations on the creative aspects of motion-picture and television production. Creative lighting techniques, underwater motion imaging, audio effects and aerial filming are among the topics covered. **** During the 134th Technical Conference and Equipment Exhibition, 10-13 Nov. 1992, in Toronto, there will be several events related to the Equipment Exhibition. 1) Exhibition The equipment exhibit will be open from 10am to 6 pm on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and from 10am to 2pm on Friday. Numerous companies (about 200) from North America and abroad are scheduled to exhibit the industry's newest products and latest innovations. 2) Consultants Center A special area in the exhibit hall will house some of the industry's leading consulting firms. Attendees will be able to obtain information on products and services, and seek advice and solutions regarding technical difficulties. 3) Panel Discussions In addition to the traditional papers presentations and product displays, the conference will offer a two-part panel discussion open to all attendees on Wednesday and Thursday from 12:30 to 1:30. The session is entitled "Effects of Digital Video on Future Processing." 4) New Technology Room This highly successful feature will again be featured at this year's exhibit.
