| SMPTE | US | 2014/10 | Honorary Member – Leonardo Chiariglione is generally considered to the be the driving force behind the development of the MPEG set of standards that underpin today’s many digital moving pictures applications. Chiariglione’s constant push for a simple, standardized moving pictures toolbox began in 1988 with the founding of the ISO MPEG group, and continues to the present day. Chiariglione has forcefully maintained focus on timely standardization, technical simplicity and efficiency. The wide adoption of MPEG-2 to MPEG-4, in particular, is apt testimony to the contribution Chiariglione and the MPEG group have made to date. |
