22 Part 2 SMPTE Documents Deep Dive with Bruce and Thomas SMPTE s document types Operations Documents OM Operations Manual AG Administrative Guideline Engineering Documents ST Standard RP Recommended Practise EG Engineering Guideline Other Documents AN Advisory Note RDD Registered Disclosure Document TSP SMPTE Technical Specification ER Engineering Report

23 OM Operations Manual The purpose of this Standards Operations Manual is to define the duties of Engineering and Standards officers, staff, chairs and participants and to define the policies and procedures for developing and maintaining SMPTE s Engineering Documents. The primary audience for these policies and procedures is the Society staff and Society members who monitor or participate in the standards development work. How to make standards. See also Governance and Membership Manuals. AG Administrative Guideline Administrative Guidelines (AG) Administrative Guidelines shall be prepared from time-to-time to provide extensions to and interpretations of this Standards Operations Manual. Administrative Guidelines may include, but are not limited to, descriptions of Group and meeting procedures, templates for documents, rules and procedures for Registers, etc. All Administrative Guidelines shall be issued by the Standards Committee and shall require a Consensus Vote of the Standards Committee for approval or modification. In the event of a conflict, the Society Bylaws, Operations Manuals or any published Engineering Document shall take precedence over the Standards Administrative Guidelines. How to implement the OM

24 ST - Standard Standard (ST) A Standard shall be a document that states basic specifications, dimensions, or criteria that are necessary for effective interchange and/or interconnection within the system described. An SMPTE Standard may also define the functions necessary to achieve effective interchange among users. An SMPTE Standard shall contain Conformance Language. A standard developed with full rigour, suitable for international referencing. RP Recommended Practise Recommended Practice (RP) A Recommended Practice shall be a document that states basic specifications, dimensions, or criteria that are not necessary for effective interchange and/or interconnection but that facilitate implementation of systems. Examples are conformance requirements for test materials or measurement methods; constraints on existing specifications, dimensions, criteria, forms; and/or functions within the system described. An SMPTE Recommended Practice may contain Conformance Language. How to use (a) standard(s)

25 AN Advisory Note Advisory Note (AN) An Advisory Note is a brief informative document developed by Consensus of a Technology Committee detailing an issue before the Technology Committee. An Advisory Note generally should have a limited term benefit to the industry and should typically be withdrawn after the issues it describes are resolved. Publication shall be with approval of the Standards Vice President. An Advisory Note shall be withdrawn automatically 6 months after initial publication or sooner by Consensus of the developing Technology Committee. Something went wrong or something is about to happen RDD Registered Disclosure document 7.1 Definition The Society may publish documents of general interest to the industry that are not Engineering Documents. Such documents are known as Registered Disclosure Documents (RDDs) and do not represent findings, representations, or recommendations by the Society. Registered Disclosure Documents are documents within the scope of interest of the Society, submitted by any entity (the Sponsor ) that wishes to make a disclosure available to the public and to use the Society s publication and distribution mechanisms for this purpose. Documents that may be suitable as Registered Disclosure Documents include, but are not limited to, specifications of existing products, instructions for interfacing to products, instructions for controlling products and systems, and descriptions of design approaches intended to encourage design of similar or compatible systems. Registered Disclosure Documents shall not be used as Normative References in Engineering Documents. SMPTE publishes (and remembers) proprietary designs

26 TSP Technical Specification 6.5 Committee Draft (CD) Development Upon receipt by a Technology Committee Chair of a WD from a Project Group, it shall be distributed promptly by the Technology Committee Chair to the Technology Committee, for a period of 2 weeks, to seek Comments that may improve the document prior to Ballot. The 2 week pre-ballot Comment period requirement may be waived by Consensus Vote at a meeting of the Technology Committee. At the conclusion of the 2 week period, the Project Group shall address all Comments received. Full Comment Resolution is encouraged but not required. Once the Project Group concludes by Consensus that the Comments have been addressed, the document shall be revised as necessary and returned to the Technology Committee Chair. The document then is considered a Committee Draft. A SMPTE Technical Specification is a Committee Draft made public by provisions in the OM section EG Engineering Guideline Engineering Guideline (EG) An Engineering Guideline shall be an informative document, often tutorial in nature, which incorporates engineering Consensus on specifications, dimensions, and/or practices. It is intended to guide Users or to provide designs or procedures for Producers. It shall not contain Conformance Language, Normative Text, or Normative References. How to use (a) standard(s)

27 ER Engineering Reports Engineering Report (ER) An Engineering Report is an informative document developed by a Study Group, a Technology Committee, or a Task Force on a topic of interest to the industry. Publication shall be with approval of the Standards Vice President. We did and interesting study. Here are the results Which document should I write? Doc Needed Y Normative Provisions? Define or Use Technology? Use Define Stable, Global scope, Full Rigour? Y Agile, Small scope, Less Rigour? N ST N Y TSP RDD N RP Guideline Or Study? Guideline Engineering Or SMPTE Process?
