Re: The ABC Player App for iPad: Start Here

Thank you for the Great article! I have worked with (many years as Producer/Editor & Engineer) and now am working with (Engineer) all the tech you mention (FCP, Avid, Xsan, Episode...), except VMP.

Verizon Media Platform sounds interesting. Did you look at Final Cut Server? (I know it's not too complete, but it is good, right?) I'll be looking into VMP.

I work at a company that provides a very wide range of services, from Production (ABC/Disney a specific daytime soap, HD Tapeless/Avid...), GSN, MGM HD and others) to media transcode and Cable Origination (many, many channels) and Post (FCP and Avid.... for the most part, we're all tapeless, but we do have every tape format on the planet here, to accommodate ABC/Disney (D5, D2, DigiBeta, Beta...), MGM HD (D5) and the others.

For future articles (to Creative Cow, maybe the Cow doesn't allow this?), is it possible to include a link to apps mentioned in the article? Like the ABC iPad app, it would be great to link to the Apple Store. For Verizon, it would be great to find a link in the article to "Verizon Media Platform", which is great information, I didn't know Verizon offered that (I'll be sending an email to the person you mention in a reply).

Is there ever an open house at your facility? I'd be interested in seeing first hand.

Thanks Again,
