Topic:
Optical Disc Products For Acquisition, Production and Storage of AV Content
IN the past decade, advancements in IT technologies have served to break the traditional barriers between current AV and IT infrastructures. The advent of nonlinear editing systems, news servers, and Sony e-VTRs has clearly demonstrated the benefits of bringing these two worlds together. While technologies such as random access, file transfers, central storage and metadata have introduced major benefits to production workflows in broadcasting, a media solution to fulfill this transition had not yet been established — until now.
THE Sony XDCAM Series of optical disc products utilizes the Professional Disc media and state-of-the-art blue-violet laser technology to achieve high data transfer rates and long recording times for practical day-to-day operations. Its file-based recording and random access capabilities not only remove the 'linear-natured' barriers common to tape media, but also merge the AV and IT worlds by featuring the functions required for both domains.
NOTE: For security reasons, anyone planning on attending this meeting must e-mail Dave Siegler (David.Siegler@turner.com) in advance as he must prepare an attendance list for Turner Security beforehand.
