MPEG industry forum expands scope to include MPEG-7 and MPEG-21
30 July 2003
News
At its Annual Meeting in Montreal in June, the MPEG-4 Industry Forum (M4IF), an industry-based MPEG standards advocacy group, approved expanding its scope to include the promotion of the MPEG-7 and MPEG-21 standards. From July 2003, M4IF's official name is 'MPEG Industry Forum' (MPEGIF).
The Forum will continue the M4IF name, website and logo for its MPEG-4 activities. MPEGIF's goal has been updated to read: "To further the adoption of MPEG Standards, by establishing them as well accepted and widely used standards among creators of content, developers, manufacturers, providers of services, and end users".
A focal point for MPEG 4 developments and information, the decision to expand its scope came from the membership's desire for a single, strong organisation to educate industry on the benefits and synergies of the MPEG standards. MPEG-7 and MPEG-21 are complementary to MPEG-4 and MPEG-2, not their successors.
MPEGIF represents almost 100 companies from diverse industries distributed across North America, Europe and Asia, addressing MPEG adoption issues that go beyond the charter of ISO/IEC MPEG.
