Charles Poynton Workshop: Mathematics for HDTV and Digital Cinema (concurrent)

Mathematics potentially provides deep insight into "how things work" in HDTV and 

digital cinema. However, many of us either had no serious training in mathematics, or 

paid little attention to it while we were at school! This workshop will provide a refresher 

in math. There will be live demonstrations of half a dozen worked examples of 

mathematics directly applied to HDTV and digital cinema problems. The workshop will 

include use of interactive features - including graphing in 2D and 3D.

     
1:30 pm - 2 pm Box lunch
     

2 pm - 6 pm

 

 

 

 



HPA Insight / Foresight Visions of the Future supersession - coordinated by

at the HPA Supersession, some of the brightest and most visionary minds in our 

industry will help to illuminate the path ahead to help you plan where you are going. 

Why wait until the future when you can prepare for it today? Come spend 4 hours to 

help make sense of the future.
