Medical Diagnostic Imaging Test Pattern
I added Image:SMPTE_RP-133.png to help show the range of SMPTE tools. Although the file is only 104 kbytes, the image itself expands to 4096x4096, which is then thumbnailed to 182x182 by browsers. After adding it, I began to wonder whether all browsers and environments can actually handle that. If it is problematic, feel free to remove. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dozen (talk • contribs) 09:45, 6 January 2007 (UTC).


 * Changed to a much smaller version (407x407). I believe this removes any concerns about the original 16 megapixel one causing problems. 2*6 19:12, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Standards Numbering Changes
SMTPE have changed the number scheme for their standards. All related articles need to be updated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.33.118.208 (talk) 09:15, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

 * I think my unrelated redirect template for SMPE got hit in this cleanup. SMPE redirects here, but SMP/E (IBM's System Modification Program/Extended) is another page people are likely to be looking for. Not R (talk) 21:47, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Fixed. MER-C 04:15, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

The name
The SMPTE's official website uses an ampersand in the header banner ("Society of Motion Picture & Television Engineers"), but spells out "and" in the copyright notice ("Copyright © 2016 Society of Motion Pictures and Television Engineers"), so evidently they accept both spellings. --Thnidu (talk) 18:09, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
