Video compression
by: 
 4/07/2011 11:57 AM
Broadcasters have a range of choices when it comes to signal compression solutions. For advanced, professional-grade compression, MPEG-2, H.264 and JPEG 2000 are all viable options. Ultimately, network infrastructure, bandwidth requirements and budget all help to define the “right” choice for a broadcaster. MPEG-2 and H.264 are strong options for compression for next-generation multimedia applications. Read More

    TV Tech: Avid Media Composer 4.0
    by: 
    		 4/02/2010 9:15 AM
    In 2006, Avid liberated its flagship Media Composer from its hardware host and offered the widely popular editing platform in a software-only version. The company has faced fierce competition from other popular editing platforms, and has responded by steadily ramping up the capabilities and features of Media Composer. With its second major upgrade, Avid has repositioned itself as a cutting-edge innovator of digital editing technology with more competitive prices.

    Canon’s Next Cam — Photos from SFO SuperMeet, Pt. 1
    by: 
    		 3/30/2010 11:05 AM
    Canon USA choose the FCP SuperMeet in San Francisco as the first public venue in which to display the same mock-up for a U.S. audience. Similar to the first unveiling at InterBEE, the unlabeled model was shown only under glass, however I managed to sneak a few photos when it was briefly out of its display case at the conclusion of the event.

    World’s Greatest Transcoder Avid’s New Mix-and-Match for Media Composer
    by: 
    		 3/12/2010 4:27 PM
    For editors, there’s good news and bad news concerning camera manufacturers. The good news is that a stream of innovative, impressive and technologically amazing new cameras are being rolled out that shoot fantastic new formats for independent filmmakers, DPs and directors of all kinds. The bad news is that we have to edit the footage.

    I was just becoming awesome at transcoding when Avid released its “mix-and-match” feature for Media Composer 4.0. With mix-and-match, any kind of footage c Read More

    Some Olympic stats.
    by: 
    		 2/16/2010 9:00 AM
    The Olympics are in many cases, multiple Superbowls or World Cup events being staged at the same time. What does it take to produce all this?

    Well, some stats being passed around on the production reveal it’s a huge undertaking, and I’m sure these stats don’t account for everything because those crews that come in always have to retrofit the stuff built out to “make it work right.” Read More

    Avatar in 3D - Wow! The futures so bright - I gotta wear shades - 3D glasses!
    by: 
    		 1/06/2010 4:59 PM
    I made this post on one of the many listservs I participate in. I thought it would be good to share on our blog as well.

    One of the things I found so amazing about Avatar was the facial imagery of the cat people and the live actors. With 3D it was like you were right next to them. Sure the action scenes were intense, but it was the immersive effect of the lush planet and the creatures that made it such a powerful experience. Read More

    Mixing formats in the edit
    by: 
    		 12/28/2009 8:38 AM
    The sheer mix and volume of formats to deal with today can be mind-boggling. Videotape player/recorders – formerly a common denominator – are a vanishing breed. Post facilities still own and use VTRs, but operations at the local market level, especially in broadcast, are becoming increasingly tapeless. Clearly, once the current crop of installed VTRs become a maintenance headache or are no longer an important cog in the operation, they won’t be replaced with another shiny new mechanical videotap Read More
