Part I: DS Nitris Product Manager talks about AAF, competition, and 64 bit computing
Digital Media Net's Charlie White joins Matt Allard, Avid's product manager for DS and the Nitris line of products for a wide-ranging discussion. Allard has been a major player in the digital video editing and compositing business for many years, where he started out with Media 100, moved to Softimage in Montreal, and now finds himself back in Massachusetts at Avid's headquarters in Tewksbury. In part 1, Allard talks about Avid's involvement with Advanced Authoring Format (AAF), and helps us understand the challenges of creating 64-bit editing products for both Mac and PC.
Screen Time Images Helps Bozo, the World’s Most Famous Clown, Come to DVD Fully Restored
Larry Harmon’s “Bozo the Clown” is something of a phenomenon. The show ran daily for years, with a different Bozo for each syndicated city using the same show format, and it is believed that 1 out of every 10 people in the U.S. were on the Bozo Show in their youth. Screen Time Images, a near-Chicago-based boutique facility specializing in film restoration, was recently hired by Falcon Picture Group to take the early 1960s episodes and bring the picture and audio quality up to current standards. The DVDs are being distributed by Baby Genius, a company focusing on children’s videos.
Monitor/Video Walls In The Budget This Year
In this weekly quick feature, TrendWatch founding partner Jim Whittington offers you interesting factoids based on market research from the broadcast and graphics industry. This week, see how video walls are becoming more popular with TV stations, with some more likely to buy than others. Also, see how studio owners place people before equipment when allocating money for new projects and services.
According to the SCRI/DMN Digital Media Facility Trends Report, Windows 2000 was the most commonly used platform in 2002 with over six in ten (62.2%) of the digital media facilities polled in the joint SCRI-DMO survey reporting using this platform. Mac OS ranked 2nd with just under half (47.6%) of all digital media facilities polled reporting using that platform in 2002.
This is it: HDTV Is Here, Now, Really
We've been watching HDTV coming around the corner for the better part of a decade. Some are fed up with all the waiting. Is it really arriving now? Can we start editing and shooting in HD? Will there be anybody there to watch this beautiful footage we'll shoot and edit? What's a producer to do? I think the tipping point is here, and it's time to start looking at full-fledged HD production across the board.
