  1. Truly Tapeless Workflow(s) Peter Fasciano Fellow, Advance Development Co-Founder, Avid Technology IT is Going Outside Files Are Going HD Videotape is Going… Gone! There’s No Stopping IT

  2. Tapeless Workflow(s), Defined • The NLE workflow began- • NLE, an island, an IT guest in the house of video • Play video in, do stuff, play video out – to tape • Local storage for each NLE system, Paint system

  3. Tapeless Workflow(s), Defined • The NLE workflow is maturing • Workgroup or Enterprise central/shared storage • Titles/graphics, effects, video editing, audio sweetening • Ingest from field systems based on videotape • Original footage on videotape provides a safety net • Original footage becomes a preliminary archive • Publish to playout servers, Web, DVD, videotape, etc.

  4. Tapeless Workflow(s), Defined • The NLE workflow is becoming critical • Workgroup or Enterprise central/shared storage • Needs to be 6Δ reliable, carrier class, “digital dialtone” • Ingest from field systems based on ?? • Original footage – What’s original footage? • Original footage becomes a problem to archive • Publish to playout servers, Web, DVD, videotape, etc.

  5. Tapeless Workflow(s), Defined • The NLE workflow and 6Δ reliability • Ingest and 6Δ • Double write on ingest – Local write / push to Enterprise • Dual Ingest – Store locally / push to N+N mirrored files • Playout and 6Δ • Flatten, Forward & Store • The less playout technology, the better • Nothing more complex than concatenated flatfile streams

  6. Tapeless Workflow(s), Defined • The NLE workflow and 6Δ reliability • Bandwidth and 6Δ – For many competing workflows • High QoS production fabric - bandwidth for all clients • The client count is going up – need more viewing stations • Production fabrics & peak load design/management • Data files move at max wirespeeds, not videospeeds • File Xfer to playout systems – ASAP

  7. Tapeless Workflow(s), Outdoors • The NLP workflow – I.T. is going outside • Adding field acquisition with I.T. based cameras • Completely eliminates videotape (raw footage) • Casual, ubiquitous screening/preview becomes an issue • Need more workflow options/strategies in the field • Field data copying & archiving • File & sequence transport options

  8. Tapeless Workflow(s), Ahead • The NLP workflow – I.T. needs standards • MXF & AAF – good technologies & a good start • Moving files from camcorders to NLEs • I.T. Media – Plug-n-Play is the goal • Metadata – MXF – eliminate need to re-wrap files • OP-Atom is preferred for NLE performance

  9. Tapes & Workflow – a look back • Tape based systems are naturally diffuse • Failures are physically isolated events • The rest of the facility remains unaffected • Enterprise failures • What happened? Was it a virus? • Bandwidth and subnetting – divide & conquer • Distribute the fabric – breakaway bandwidth
