SMPTE to Offer Online Access to Standards Documents
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y.: Starting in
November, standards documents from the Society of Motion Picture and Television
Engineers will be available online. Users will have online access to all
relevant documents through a password-protected Web site, plus access to
new documents as soon as they are published.
Subscriptions
will be
available to individuals and institutions, member or non-member, with
discounted rates
for individual and sustaining SMPTE members. The individual member rate will be
reduced from the CD subscription rate.
SMPTE said it will discontinue distribution of standards and other documents on CD. All
existing subscribers who would normally have received the October 2010 CD-ROM
as part of their subscription will receive access to the online service until
the anniversary date of their subscription.
