Applied Electronics Gives McGill University Audio Visual Tools for Dental Teaching ClinicFor the first time in the Faculty’s history, clinical and community research, clinical and preclinical eaching, and graduate and dental students have come together in this new space. This state-of-theart facility is now also the hub of the Faculty’s community outreach activities.
The Faculty’s new clinic is at the cutting edge of dental education with the latest high-tech simulation technologies, teaching equipment and learning spaces that enable experiential and collaborative learning. An increased number of dental operatory chairs allows specific chairs to be devoted to research, emergency care and surgical procedures.
The new teaching clinic has 43 dental operatory chairs (compared to 30 chairs in the previous teaching clinic at the Montreal General Hospital). This is complimented by an additional 13 dental operatory suites which can be used for emergency, oral surgery, oral diagnosis and student & staff health.

Applied Electronics kicked off its technical seminar tour across Quebec on December 13, 2016. In a unique presentation, Paul Stechly, President of Applied Electronics and SMPTE Vice President, gave insight into the new standards by describing the New Media Landscape and discussed multi-media multi-platform production and distribution.
NAVIGATING THE IP JUNGLE
n Overview of terms, nomenclature and standards relating to IP as defined in a RTP/PTP environment n Descriptions of the various IP formats, interoperability, workflow and standards n How IP becomes a key enabler of workflow virtualization
HIGH DYNAMIC RANGE (HDR)
Unlike 4K in film, UHD is a rapidly evolving - and very broad - group of standards. High Dynamic Range color is now generally accepted as the key visual differentiator between HD and UHD content.
n Basics of 4K/UHD and Standards for HDR n Color transform functions such as PQ, HLG, S-log, ST-2084 n Consumer chain and the challenges in distributing and viewing HDR content
INTEROPERABLE MASTER FILE FORMAT (IMF)
Content is now consumed on a very wide variety of platforms and devices. Not only does this challenge content distributors in keeping many versions of content, but also in how to maintain artistic intent across multiplatform delivery. The SMPTE Interoperable Master File format is designed to solve the problems of multi-platform delivery from a single file structure with a broad structure of metadata to format each deliverable copy.
