Metavision 3rd E3 IST Concertation Meeting Brussels 3-10-2000
Project Partners • 1. Snell & Wilcox (Project Leader) • 2. BBC • 3. INESC (Portugal) • 4. Electrocraft • 5. France 2 • 6. Arnold Richter (Germany) • 7. MRT (Oslo) • 8. University of Padova (Italy)
Major Project Objectives • Create and demonstrate a Universal Electronic Production System capable of meeting the demands of both the Film and Television Industries. • Propose a method of asset tracking (conforming to standards currently under development) which will ensure that each archived version of the assets will contain a history of the processing used since its creation.
The aims of Metavision • Maintain the quality of high resolution film-rate electronic video by the use of meta-data through all stages of capture, compression and format conversion
Why do it? • allows more artistic flexibility • lowers production costs • readily converts to existing distribution media (Film, HDTV, SDTV…) • is designed for efficient conversion to existing compression formats (MPEG-2) • takes into account the future requirements of compression schemes (MPEG-4) • conforms to the metadata formats, currently under consideration in the standards bodies (MPEG-7 and SMPTE) • can be archived at various reference qualities depending on application • allows the future integration of real and virtual images at source quality both for electronic film production and in the compressed domain for use in TV studios
Roles of Partners • Snell & Wilcox - Project leader, standards conversion, external liaison • BBC - user requirements and evaluation • INESC - metadata based remote command and control architecture • Electrocraft - compression, post-production • France 2 - user requirements and evaluation • ARRI & MRT - camera development, image creation and production house (end user) requirements • University of Padova - lossless compression algorithm and metadata generation
