Shortly before the start of the SMPTE 2017 Technical Conference & Exhibition, TV Technology spoke with Michelle Munson, co-inventor of the Aspera FASP transport technology and CEO of Aspera until May 2017, and Yvonne Thomas, product manager of New Media for arvato Systems, about the SMPTE 2017 Symposium.

If the central theme of last year’s SMPTE Technical Conference and Exhibition was about celebrating the centennial of the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers, this year’s has to be about positioning the society—in terms of its technical focus and the people it seeks to attract—for a future of rapid and constant change in media technology.
