IABM Recognises SMPTE's 100 Years
I

ABM presented SMPTE with an
honorary IABM Industry Collaborative
Groups Endorsement in recognition of
its 100 years of leadership in promoting
standards and interoperability.
"SMPTE is the father and mother
of all collaborative groups in our
industry," said Peter White, IABM
CEO. "SMPTE recognised in the very
early days of television that common
standards and interoperability would
be required just as they had been in
the early days of film. Without that
common purpose and will to work
together, television would not have
been able to grow into the universal
medium it is today."
Stan Moote, IABM CTO, who
presented the award, added: "I am
delighted that IABM has recognised

SMPTE in this way, and I salute SMPTE
and all the highly creative people that
have made it into the unifying force
for good that has driven our industry
forward for so long."

Formed to promote a common
format for movie film system
interoperability, SMPE added its 'T' in
1950 in the early days of television to
bring the same drive to broadcasting.
