SMPTE’s Board of Governors has formally approved the creation of the SMPTE UK Region. Bruce Devlin, chief media scientist at Dalet, has been appointed to serve as the new region’s first governor.
The SMPTE UK Section grew from 83 members in 2012, to more than 500 in 2015. Any Section exceeding 500 members can petition for creation of a Region – this gives the Section formal representation on the Board.
