We continue our series of articles on design considerations for Media Supply Chains looking at the technology trends influencing Ingest.
Signal transducers such as cameras, displays, microphones and loudspeakers handle information, ideally converting it from one form to another, but practically losing some. Information theory can be used to analyze such devices.
Connecting a camera in an SDI infrastructure is easy. Just connect the camera output to the monitor input, and all being well, a picture will appear. The story is very different in the IP domain.
LL35 is a “If you build it, they will come” attempt to attract the young gaming community to live streaming and TV content.
The transform is a useful device that has some interesting characteristics. On one side of a transform we might have the spatial domain, for example data describing an image in terms of brightness as a function of position. On the other side we might have coefficients describing the spatial frequencies and phases of that image data.
Wind turbines are increasing in number because they produce electricity with reasonable environmental impact. But how green are they really?
In this tutorial on the science of lenses (Part 4), John Watkinson examines lens resolution and discusses how to determine the lens performance needed so as to get the maximum performance from your camera sensor.
A large warehouse fire comes across the police scanner and a news camera operator and an audio guy jump in their car, specially outfitted with a laptop for editing (mounted to the dashboard) and a tripod that folds out of the trunk, and race to get the story. It’s a scenario that plays out hundreds of times each day at TV stations across the country.
