CBC to demo e250 and MXL at October 21 SMPTE workshop
SMPTE is hosting an in-person workshop organized by CBC on October 21, 2025, focusing on CBC's e250 and Memory eXchange Layer (MXL) projects. The session will include presentations by François Legrand and Mathieu Rochon from CBC/Radio-Canada, covering the EBU DMF reference architecture, MXL project, and the e250 project, along with a practical MXL hands-on workshop.
Key Takeaways
- The session runs Tuesday, October 21, 2025, from 6:00 to 9:00pm ET, with networking and pizza from 6:00 to 7:00pm and presentations from 7:00 to 9:00pm.
- CBC will host the event at Boardroom 1B315, Entrance 25 John Street (Security Entrance), with Zoom Webinar access also listed.
- François Legrand, Senior Director Innovation Hub at CBC/Radio-Canada, will present the EBU DMF reference architecture, the MXL project, and CBC’s e250 project.
- Mathieu Rochon, Senior Technical Advisor at CBC/Radio-Canada, will run a hands-on session for the Memory eXchange Layer SDK.
- Sponsors listed for the workshop are Applied Electronics, TAG Video Systems, and Grass Valley.
Why It Matters
This is a practical, in-person technical session, not just a standards talk: attendees are being asked to bring a laptop and prepare ahead of time for a hands-on MXL workshop. That makes CBC’s e250 and MXL work directly relevant to engineers evaluating the EBU DMF reference architecture and Memory eXchange Layer implementation details. The sponsor lineup — Applied Electronics, TAG Video Systems, and Grass Valley — also signals industry interest around the session. The key thing to watch is the GitHub prep repo at github.com/cbcrc/mxl-hands-on, since it defines what participants must have ready before the workshop.
