Fwd: Call for Participation: W3C/SMPTE Workshop on Professional Media Production on the Web, November 2021

A W3C workshop on the role of Web technologies for Professional Media
Production (in collaboration with SMPTE) is planned for November - since
latency is one of the topics identified in the call for participation
and has been a recurring topic in our group, I thought I would share it
here.

Dear Advisory Committee Representative,
Chairs,

W3C is pleased to call for participation in:

  W3C/SMPTE Workshop on Professional Media Production on the Web
  9-18 November 2021, Virtual Event
  https://www.w3.org/2021/03/media-production-workshop/

Professional media assets, including audio-visual masters for television
and motion pictures, are increasingly being stored in the cloud. The
workshop will connect the web platform and the professional media
production communities and explore evolutions of the Web platform to
address professional media production requirements.

This joint W3C/SMPTE event will be organized as a combination of
pre-recorded talks followed by online discussions on GitHub, and
culminating in a series of live sessions in November 2021.

Expected topics of discussions include:
* Use cases for professional media production, e.g. localization,
accessible essence authoring, quality check (QC), mastering,
manufacturing, etc.
* Support for professional media technologies (such as video codecs,
immersive sound, timed text, access technologies, HDR/WCG)
* Applying existing/upcoming Web technologies to professional media
production scenarios: WebGPU, WebGL, WebAssembly, WebCodecs, WebRTC
Encoded Media, Web Audio, etc.
* Use of a Web application for client-side media editing versus use of a
Web application for remote desktop access.
* Accurate essence synchronization, frame accuracy for video and sample
accuracy for audio.
* Latency management when operating on media assets stored in the cloud
trough a Web based interface, as well as in live media production workflows.
* Access to client capabilities, e.g. display capabilities.
* Application of visual effects in real time.
* Content security, including use of fine-grained access controls,
content encryption and forensic marking, so as to track user interaction
with in-production content and allow attribution of leaks.
* Metadata creation and management in production workflows, including
metadata about content provenance and authenticity.
* With the awareness that tracking, attribution, and authenticity
proofs, as above, can pose privacy harms, particularly outside of
professional use cases, mechanisms for limiting their use outside of
professional contexts, making it clear when they're in use, and making
them opt-in.
* Compatibility with legacy systems and standards, e.g. timecode.
* Requirements for live and packaged media workflows.
* Audio and video contribution using web technologies, e.g. WebRTC or
WebTransport.

Attendance is free for all invited participants and is open to the
public, whether or not W3C/SMPTE members.
