Program Starts at 7:30 PM

Topic:
MPEG2 -
New Codecs, New Products, New Workflow

High
Definition video equipment has been priced well beyond the range of all but
the very few in our industry. Now the twin developments of the D-VHS/HDV
MPEG2 based formats are changing the way we deal with HD.
New
HDV camcorders have dramatically lowered the cost of entry into the HD
production "arena." Yet the images are so good they have been used for 35mm
filmout. Recent HDV product introductions make this a very hot market
segment.
The
continuing improvement in MPEG2 codecs enables video image quality better
than ever with data rates much lower than those required by the older DCT
codecs.
These
MPEG2 data streams with their lower more effective bandwidth enable workflow
changes that use fewer in-plant resources while increasing production speed.
Directions:
Directions
to are available online at the
SCAD website, and you can download an Adobe Acrobat (pdf) format

The
meeting will be held in the "Hub."
