- Are you or have you been an MPEG member?
Yes, my previous company and current company have been members for more than 20 years. I personally participated for around 5 years during the development of MPEG1 and MPEG2. - What do you think makes MPEG special?
Solving hard technical problems in the public interest with high industry interest to drive things very quickly to conclusion and also focus everyone’s attention. This is the standard maker’s dream and MPEG has achieved it multiple times. - What do you think is the most important MPEG impact?
Digital television for sure, MPEG facilitated a paradigm shift in television. - Do you think MPEG is a good conduit for research?
Providing the urgency and impetus to drive and accelerate research is something that MPEG has managed to achieve, so yes. - Can you comment on your MPEG experience?
As a young engineer starting out it was a career-defining moment. It is something perhaps that MPEG should study. How to have more young engineers and students involved early on. These people grow into ambassadors as well as skilled engineers through a superb collaborative experience. - Are you satisfied with MPEG standards?
- Do you think MPEG standards are the right choice?
If applicable for sure. - What do you expect from MPEG in the future?
Find a way to balance accelerating fundamental research whilst not falling into IP ownership traps.
Maybe the name is somewhat self-limiting now, it is tricky to work out a way of not erasing past achievements whilst broadening horizons. Maybe a re-branding exercise and new vision is needed ?
