About Joe Kane:
Mr. Kane specializes
in the sciences of electronic imaging and accurately reproducing video
signals on display devices. Those efforts have been the focus of his
company, Joe Kane Productions, since its founding in 1982. Mr.
Kane joined and later became chair of the Society of Motion Picture
and Television Engineers (SMPTE) Working Group on Professional &
Studio Monitors. That effort in the late 1980's brought organization
and consistency to displaying video images in the professional and broadcast
worlds. Members of the SMPTE Working Group challenged Mr. Kane to communicate
a similar message to consumers, which was first realized in 1989 in
a laserdisc called A Video Standard. It was innovative in its
use of video to explain the NTSC video system. It was also the
start of his long term involvement in consumer electronics and home
theater.
Mr. Kane wrote
magazine articles, was the technical editing of a magazine, presented
seminars for system installers, and worked with manufacturers and program
production facilities in furthering those efforts. There were
additional video tutorials from JKP as new developments occurred in
video. Video Essentials was brought to market on laserdisc
in June of '96, then on DVD in October of '97 to help explain the
transition from composite video to component video. Digital
Video Essentials,
which came out in 2004, covers two transitions in video, analog to
digital and standard definition to high definition. The
Professional version of DVE appeared on the market early in 2005,
ushering in the topics of digital compression and progressive high
definition video.
As CEO of Joe
Kane Productions, Mr. Kane continues his efforts in supervising the
design of progressive digital HD display devices, working with image
quality in methods of digital compression, and presenting in lectures
and demonstrations the real capability of high definition technology.
