A Portable Field Editing System for Electronic News Gathering (ENG)

The volume of programming for broadcast television news continues to grow rapidly. Attendant with this growth is increased pressure on the multi-disciplinary team that contributes, on a daily basis, to the creation of this competitive program material. News crews, reporters, journalists, editors, directors, producers, and supporting technical staff—all seek new operating efficiencies that can enhance their creativity and streamline their productivity. — New technologies of disk-based nonlinear editing systems, video servers, and high-speed serial audio/video digital interfaces, are bringing important efficiencies to the broadcast news operation. Bringing together video, audio, data, and text for story creation in a practical desktop journalist workstation is also a powerful addition to the news environment. — Similar efficiencies are sought in the field—for news crews, reporters, journalists, and editors. Portable acquisition systems, accompanied by a portable field editing system can dramatically enhance productivity in the field.
