That's the thinking behind Loki Render from our partners at Filmworkz .

In this latest Pocket Films article, Duplitech COO Steve Johnson explains how the team keeps hundreds of restoration projects moving by removing processing bottlenecks, allowing artists to focus on what they do best: making creative decisions.

The future of digital restoration isn't about replacing expertise. It's about giving experts better tools, faster workflows, and the freedom to concentrate on preserving the original intent.

Setting the Standards Free

SMPTE has made our entire Standards catalog freely available to the global media technology community!

This includes all published SMPTE Standards, Recommended Practices, Engineering Guidelines and Registered Disclosure Documents (RDDs), as well as all future releases.

This move is part of a broader effort to modernize the organization's Standards development and publication processes.

Recent initiatives include:
*Adopting GitHub-based workflows for version control
*Issue tracking and automation
*Transitioning to structured HTML-based authoring
*Implementing an integrated publishing pipeline that streamlines document creation, review, validation and release.

By removing barriers to access, this milestone is expected to accelerate adoption and implementation, strengthen interoperability, and help drive the next generation of innovation.

SMPTE's move to an open-access Standards Library is supported in part by the organization's Diamond-level Corporate Members: Amazon AWS, Apple, Blackmagic Design, CBS/Paramount Global, Disney, Dolby, Fox, Google, Ross Video, Sony and Telstra. Companies and individuals contributing $10,000 or more by Dec. 31, 2026, will be recognized as Inaugural Supporters of the Standards portfolio.

Lots of good upcoming online workshops from AMIA, covering topics from restoration fundamentals, to navigating AI for archives, and even an introduction to Time Base Correctors!

TAG Video Systems LTD is expanding beyond traditional monitoring with the launch of LENS at NAB 2026.

The new visualisation tool gives operators a clearer view of complex media workflows, helping engineering teams understand stream paths, infrastructure relationships, and operational dependencies across large-scale environments.

Because sometimes fixing the problem starts with figuring out where the problem actually is.

Virtual production keeps getting easier to deploy.

At NAB 2026, Mo-Sys showcased , an integrated platform designed to simplify virtual production workflows by bringing tracking, rendering, LED integration, and control into a more unified environment.

The industry shift is pretty clear now: VP is moving beyond giant film stages and into broader production workflows.
Less science project. More usable production tool.
