The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) recently introduced ST 2067-70, a standard that integrates VC-3 into the Interoperable Master Format (IMF) framework.
IMF is a widely adopted format in professional media workflows, ensuring consistent, high-quality media exchange across different systems and organizations. SMPTE ST 2067-70 defines how VC-3 (as specified in SMPTE ST 2019-1) can be used within IMF workflows, streamlining production and distribution.
Why This Matters
The adoption of VC-3 within the IMF framework means:
- Better standardization for high-end production workflows.
- More efficient archiving with long-term codec stability.
It helps to allow greater ability for the hardware and software to make the best use of the information across editing and broadcast systems.
