SUBJECT: SPECIAL JOINT MEETING OF SUBCOMMITTEES OF IEEE G-2.1 AUDIO-VIDEO TECHNIQUES COMMITTEE AT NAB CONVENTION IN LAS VEGAS, NEVADA.

A special breakfast meeting of the Subcommittees will be held on Tuesday, April 9th, 2002, from 7:30AM to 9AM. The meeting will be in Pavilion 10 of the Las Vegas Hilton.

The Draft Agenda for the G-2.1 subcommittees meeting is attached.

Documents for G-2.1 and subcommittees can be found on the Web at ieee.org. Then select “IEEE Organizations”, “Standards”, “Working Group Areas”, “Broadcast Technology and then “Video Compression (Digital) Measurement (P1486)” or “Video Distribution (P205)”. Alternatively you can select http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/videocomp/index.html or http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/videodist/index.html

It is planned that there will be information about the JND compression method on show at the IEEE booth during the convention. Please stop by the booth.

Come to the breakfast meeting and bring your questions, concerns, observations and insights about measurements standards, and we will try to answer them and learn from them.

Looking forward to seeing you at the meeting. Please send an e-mail or phone the number above that you plan to attend, or if at NAB, leave a message at the IEEE booth, so that we can have accurate numbers for the breakfast on Tuesday, 9th.

Please let others know who may be interested in the work of these subcommittees.
