Integrated Decision Support Environments in Distributed High-End Audio-Visual Content Creation: The Use of High Performance Computing and Networking
This contribution presents the findings and experiences from the utilisation of a Distributed Collaborative Environment established among a typical group of small and medium European audiovisual content production companies and their clients to support the pre-production and proofing stages of high-end audio-visual content creation. — The Distributed Audio Visual Content Development and Creation Environment (code-named: DAVID-E) was implemented by intergating commercially available content creation and communication/collaborative tools. The presented activity, by virtue of a series of real-life production cases, implemented all proofing phases of the development and creation of content (including those phases performed today in conventional ways), within the above networked environment and demonstrated considerable and measurable benefits in time, costs and productivity. — These results are considered of high importance in the production/post-production industry, as they are directly applicable and could readily be replicated in similar environments throughout the world. — The work presented in this paper was part of PST activity No. 24810 Project D.A.Vi.D. (Distributed Audio-Visual Content Development), supported by the EC ESPRIT 4th Framework Program on HPCN.
