Topics to be covered include: IT Networking Basics, Network Security Issues and Strategies, Storage Network Concepts, Emerging Compression Formats, File Exchange Technologies, Monitoring Strategies Using IP, Collaboritive Production Enhanced by IT Enabled Infrastructure.

More information is available in this PDF file supplied by Miranda.

And now there's another list that may be of interest � AtlTech � created for those in the Atlanta area interested in broadcast, television and motion picture engineering. It is a "place" online where SMPTE members interested in the SBE can learn of what they're doing, and where SBE members can learn of SMPTE activities, etc. You can subscribe, unsubscribe, and change your list options �yourself�  on the list Info Page, or view past list message kept in the list Archive.
