- Abstract
- The purpose of this Standards Operations Manual is to define the duties of Engineering and Standards officers, staff, chairs and participants and to define the policies and procedures for developing and maintaining SMPTE’s Engineering Documents. The primary audience for these policies and procedures is the Society staff and Society members who monitor or participate in the standards development work.
The Society is an impartial developer of standards and other Engineering Documents in the fields of motion images, television, motion pictures, and related technology. This work includes all technical aspects of images being produced, processed, reproduced, distributed via contribution circuits or via storage media, and viewed on a screen or emissive display device, including accompanying audio, data, metadata, and control signals. The Society’s Engineering Documents are designed and adopted for the purpose of promoting and furthering the interests of the international community. The existence of an Engineering Document of the Society does not create an obligation for any Society member or nonmember to adhere to it.
SMPTE Standards shall be developed in accordance with applicable antitrust and competition laws, and meetings amongst competitors to develop SMPTE Standards are to be conducted in accordance with these laws.
The Society shall evaluate and document, as appropriate, both the needs and applications of new and emerging technologies relevant to the fields of motion images, television, motion picture, and related technologies. The Society shall explore the needs and interests brought about by these technologies and shall assume a leadership role in any necessary standardization efforts.
The Society serves as a registrar of identifiers needed by the motion imaging and related industries.
The Society recognizes the importance and acceptance of SMPTE Engineering Documents as international publications. To maintain this position, the Society shall strive to harmonize national engineering document development with international activities and to interrelate with other engineering document developing organizations, drafting committees, and technical organizations.
The Society recognizes and shall maintain its position of influence in the deliberations of other standardization organizations within the fields of television, motion picture, and related technologies. To accomplish this purpose, the Society shall maintain its membership and administrative roles in such other standardization organizations as found appropriate by the Board of Governors. - Release Tag
