bio
Stan Baron began working on the application of digital technology to television in 1962. In 1966 he invented the Vidifont, the first commercially available digital graphics-quality character generator. He has been awarded patents in the areas of digital image processing and synthetic video generation (graphics) and his work has been widely recognized, with many awards from around the world. Baron served as a member, and later chairman of the SMPTE Working Group on Digital Video Standards, as a member of the Task Force on Component Digital Coding, and as a member of EBU Working Party V. Later, he also served SMPTE as Engineering Vice-President and as its President. Baron chaired ATSC technical committee, ATSC/T3 charged by the FCC with documenting the ATSC digital television system and ITU Task Group 11/3, responsible for generating agreements and Recommendations on digital television broadcasting for the international community. He is a Fellow of SMPTE, the BKSTS, the IEEE, and the Royal Television Society. Baron retired as managing director of television technology at NBC in 1998.David WoodUniversity of Southampton Department of Electronics U.K.bio
David Wood has a bachelor's degree from the University of Southampton Department of Electronics in the U.K. and a master's degree from the UNIIRT in Odessa, Ukraine. Since beginning his career, he has worked at the British Broadcasting Corp., the Independent Broadcasting Authority in the U.K., and the European Broadcasting Union in Brussels, Belgium, and Geneva, Switzerland. Wood is head of new technology for the EBU, and his activities include the coordination of research and development activities by EBU members. For 15 years, he chaired a number of ITU-R Working Parties, including those that developed ITU-R Rec. 500 on quality evaluation and Rec. 709 on high-definition television. He believes that almost all of the technology used for digital broadcasting technology today derives from the original 4:2:2 agreements 25 years ago. - Copyright
