SMPTE 32NF Networking Technology Committee

The VSF is providing resources to move several projects through the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE). Our work is being conducted under the 32NF Networking Technology Committee. There are two ad-hoc groups, both chaired by Brad Gilmer, Executive Director of the VSF. The first group is the VBR group. The second is the Video over IP group.

SMPTE 2022-4 Non-Piecewise Constant VBR over IP: This document is, for all intents and purposes, a SMPTE Standard. It is currently in review for Draft Publication, which means that from this point on, no additional technical comments or changes will be accepted. It is now a matter of making sure SMPTE rules and procedures have been followed. I expect to receive the final draft prior to publication in the next few weeks.

SMPTE 2022-5 and 2022-6, High Bitrate Media Transport over IP: This document completed its first ballot for technical comments, and we received a fairly significant number of inputs. John Dale and Brad Gilmer have worked their way through about half of the comments, but NAB and other demands have gotten in the way. We expect to complete our review and propose responses to each of these comments within one month.
