3DTV2010
NOTE: This is a past event.
The SID Mid-Atlantic Chapter, SMPTE New York Section and IEEE Broadcast Technology Society New York Chapter and will be hosting “From Content Creation to Living Room Display,” a full-day, hands-on workshop spanning the entire 3DTV eco-system. The workshop, to be held on Thursday, December 2, 2010 at Columbia University, NYC, will be presented by Insight Media University’s Chris Chinnock (see bio below).
This workshop is FREE to ATTEND, but register now as attendance will be limited.
The program consists of a full day of intermediate and basic 3D workshop modules that are geared to SMPTE, SID, IEEE members and anyone with a desire to know more about the 3D landscape. These four modules offer in-depth knowledge about 3D topics.
The courses are tailored to the technical sophistication of the audience. Given the wide-range of information, there is something for everyone to learn on 3D technology from creation to distribution to display.
This workshop has been approved for 0.7 CEUs of continuing engineering education credit by IEEE. If you wish to receive CEU credit, please bring a check for $20.00 made out to IEEE New York Section to the workshop. Sorry, we cannot accept either cash or credit cards.
