Re: "Tapeless" HD format and delivery
by Tim Kolb on Jun 30, 2008 at 4:46:30 pm

Luckily I have some contacts in the digital server manufacturing arena as I actually had to call the manufacturer to see what my local station was outputting because their engineering dept. couldn't tell me...

sigh

Smaller markets will likely remain behind the times in being able to accept digital file delivery. Many of them are using playout systems with components from various manufacturers and few smaller market stations will be moving to HD...they will only be going digital and any local origination will be uprez'd to HD on playout...

National distribution will be a nightmare for the time being...

I have to take HD spots, send them to Beta SP 4:3 letterbox...then the TV station re-digitizes (their system can't add the cue codes to a digital transcoded clip on ingest), and they play it out and pillarbox it (still letterboxed) from SD to HD.

...I might as well shoot the next spot on my RAZR...
