Additional Context
SMPTE's Standards Community (SC) continues to drive harmonization and interoperability in media technologies, organized into seven Technology Committees (TCs) covering content creation, applications, infrastructure, and media management (SMPTE, December 2025). The organization has seen significant progress in 2025, with published engineering documents now freely accessible to members via a modern platform and a mandate for HTML publication format as of June 1, 2025 (SMPTE, December 2025). Recent initiatives include advancements in the ST 2094 suite for Dynamic Metadata for Color Volume Transform (DMCVT) and the ST 2144 suite for Visible Difference Predictor (VDP), impacting HDR imaging and visual quality assessment (SMPTE, December 2025). Key projects in 2025 also include the proposed ST 2139 standard for USB-C Alternate Mode to convey synchronization signals, and the ST 2138 Catena suite for an open-standard media resource control system (SMPTE, December 2025). Additionally, three study groups are focused on critical, fast-evolving topics: Artificial Intelligence and Media, Sustainability in Media, and Content Provenance and Authenticity (CPA) in Media, with recommendations for new standards or updates expected (SMPTE, December 2025).
