Standard Policies and Governance

Standards Operations Manual

Administrative Guidelines (as applied to Standards Operations Manual):

The implementation of the Standards Operations Manual is covered by a number of Administrative Guidelines that change more frequently to address Operational concerns. To do work in SMPTE, you need to create a Project for each document created. Finally, SMPTE's visual look is governed by a SMPTE Style Guide.
