Introduction to the 2021 Progress Report

Abstract

Welcome to the SMPTE 2021 Progress Report. What a year it has been. The emergence of vaccines against COVID-19 has highlighted the importance of documented, organized ways that large groups can work together toward a common goal. The vaccines gave hope that the world would go back to normal, but unfortunately, we are still a long way from globally returning to the prepandemic way of working. © 2002 Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers, Inc.
