Content Production Technologies

Content Production Technologies covers the growing demand for the archiving of video content as broadcasting channels increase along with the emergence of the need for broadcast programs to be stored. This book discusses the storage of accessible high–quality video material on networked, large–scale archives, optimised for easy retrieval delivery over broadcast and broadband media. It also describes the retrieval methods and editing options.
Unfortunately, it is relatively easy to copy digital content and retain reproduction quality. Solutions to problems of this kind are presented in this book. Combined with this, an examination of the protection of intellectual property rights takes place that will be of utmost importance to content owners.
The book offers:An examination of the design and implementation of a practical digital content production systems.Various retrieval methods for large–scale archives using MPEG–1 streaming technology and remote editing A discussion of large–scale video archive systems, which will enable high–speed retrieval and edit functions for large amounts of video data with multi–purpose applications.This book will appeal to Broadcast engineers, Systems Integrators, Engineers for equipment manufacturers and Researchers and Developers in content production and digital archiving.
