Abstract: Electronic cameras and projectors are improving at a rapid pace. Computational elements are increasing in power to the point where substantial processing can he applied to the image stream, and compression algorithms have improved to the level where very high quality can he maintained at high compression ratios. The combination of high resolution and high frame rate can bring unprecedented image clarity to an electronic imaging system. With high-quality compression as a central system element, image capture and presentation systems can realize their full technological potential. While it is evident that uncompressed digital video at standard definition is widely available for many video system elements, it is now becoming apparent that imaging systems are poised to jump orders of magnitude in quality beyond this. HDTV implementations of the last decade now look like a small step in comparison to the leap in quality that is anticipated.

bio
Gary Demos attended the California Institute of Technology. In 1975, he joined Information International, Inc., where he supervised the development of the first digital film printer (for which he received an Academy Scientific and Engineering Award for scanning technology in 1995 and an Academy Technical Achievement Award for digital compositing technology in 1996 together with his colleagues). He also helped pioneer the field of computer graphics. — In 1981, Demos co-founded Digital Productions to produce photo-realistic images for film, television, and advertising. In 1984, he and a colleague received the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' Scientific and Engineering Award, “for the simulation of motion picture photography by means of computer-generated images,” for their work in the feature films, The Last Starfighter and 2010. — In 1988, Demos founded DemoGraFX, where he serves as president/CEO, and director. He has been a prominent strategist in advanced television (HDTV) standards and is recognized for his patented Layered Compression System technology. — Demos is a long-standing member of SMPTE, a member of the Motion Picture Academy's Digital Imaging Technology Subcommittee, and associate member of the American Society of Cinematographers (ASC).
