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.
