The SMPTE and Education

Herbert E. Farmer

The responsibilities of the SMPTE in the field of education basically relate to (1) the training of individuals; and (2) the production of hardware and software for use in education and training programs. Each of these quite different areas has many ramifications. The young person considering a career in one of the related industries asks what opportunities are there, what knowledge and experience are needed and where can he get it. The equipment manufacturers ask how their products can better serve education, and teachers are continually looking for better ways to present their subjects. Both groups recognize that acceptance of new developments hinges on standardization and they look to the SMPTE for leadership.
