What is HDR, WCG and Dolby Vision and why does it matter?
Alphabet soup starring HDR and WCG “Hey Guys, let’s re-invent the entire TV and Cinema chains from Camera to Screen!” said no high-ranking executive in any board meeting ever. The whole concept sounds like crazy talk when you say it out loud, but in reality that’s what the High Dynamic Range (HDR) and Wide Color Gamut (WCG) revolution have done over the…
Virtualization - is it always best?
I like to be told that I’m wrong. It usually means that I’ve made some broad sweeping assumption that over-simplifies the world. My most recent blunder was assuming that the whole world will obviously move 100% of its media operations to the cloud. It seems to me that in the space of a few short…
IMF: How Does it Work and Who will Use It?
If you read my previous post on IMF, you’ll already know that unlike its finance focussed namesake, the Interoperable Master Format (IMF) is in fact designed to improve our lives: it is a new SMPTE file format designed to create a single – standardized – master bundle for distribution of versioned content between businesses into multiple territories: The content creation…

Captioning Beyond the Public Service Obligation
A little while ago, I wrote here about the US requirement for subtitles – closed captions – to be included on IP-delivered content as well as television. But what about the rest of the world? The first thing to say is that the world is a pretty big place, which means that the practice of subtitling and captioning, and…
How DPP Will Revolutionize File-Based Workflows
Not for the first time, I’m guilty of using the term revolutionary in association with the Digital Production Partnership (DPP). No, I have not been reading too many subversive texts – it is the simple truth that this UK-based initiative leads the world in supporting the widespread adoption of digital file-based workflows: It has the potential…
Digital Production Partnership - A Broadcaster's Perspective
Recently, we staged a webinar in partnership with ATG Broadcast which focussed on the Digital Production Partnership (DPP) file standards. We had a number of contributors giving the perspectives of a service provider, a media facility and a broadcaster.

Why Captions Should Be At the Heart of Your Workflow
So many of you came to us to talk about captions during NAB. Based on our conversations, it’s clear that captions remain a huge source of frustration and worry. Broadcast workflows are more complex than ever. Add captions to the mix, and the complexity takes on a new dimension: Now, what you don’t want to do, is carry on…
5 Things to Soothe Your Captioning Headache
If integrating captions in your workflow is making you reach for the Aspirin, then here are a few tips that might alleviate the pain: 1. Follow the Law At the end of 2012 the FCC passed the 21st Century Communications Act. According to the new regulation, all video content that is broadcast on television in…
The DPP Can Help You Design Workflows that Work
The overriding issue in the development of file-based workflows is the meeting of the worlds of broadcast and IT technology head on. This issue has been discussed in magazines and online for many years. Rather smugly, it has been suggested by many that IT technology is the poor relation compared with the complexity of the…
Standing Tall on the Interlace Soap Box with HEVC
If you read my last post on the evils of interlace, you’ll know how strongly I feel about the topic. Just like maggot therapy went out of fashion with the advent of antibiotics, interlace is on its way out with the arrival of HEVC: Hold on a second, I hear you say, if interlace is so bad,…
4K, HDR & UHD: A Look CES Trends Impacting the Media Industry
Last week, the infamous Consumer Electronics Show (better known as CES) took place in Las Vegas.

Broadcast Asia - A Slice of Normality in a Crazy World
I like Broadcast Asia – it’s small enough to walk around in a couple of hours, yet all the main brands and an impressive number of international countries are represented. No-one is expecting “a big theme” or “a big announcement” in the way that is expected at NAB and IBC. In fact the general air…

Our days of slogging it at the Spearmint Rhino of the transcode industry are over! If you have not heard already, on Sunday morning we announced that Dalet had acquired AmberFin.
