Distributed Digital Post-Production

Christopher C. Woollard

It is now possible to use powerful general purpose computer architectures to support post production of both video and multimedia projects. By devising a suitable portable software architecture and using high speed networking in an appropriate manner, a system has been constructed where editors are no longer tied to a specific location. New types of production, such as multi threaded interactive video, are supported. Editors may also work remotely where very high speed network connection is not currently provided. An object oriented database is used for the comprehensive cataloguing of material and to support automatic audio/video object migration and replication.
