Content Creation Utilizing a Large-Scale Archive with Content ID and Original Time Code

Stored video data in large-scale archives will be used primarily for content creation and, second, for content distribution. In both cases the protection of intellectual property is an indispensable issue. A good solution of this issue may be to adopt the Content ID (identification) being promoted by the Content ID Forum. This is a unique identifier to realize some benefits of materials (or contents) distribution. A part of the Content ID will be watermarked on the video itself and will include a time code from an original tape (or cassette). Preview of materials in a data-networked environment is another issue. MPEG-4 was chosen as the compression technology because of its lower-band transmission capability; the Content ID could be easily carried with its stream. A remote editing terminal outputs an edit decision list (EDL) to an editing studio for high-quality mastering. In this process, the EDL is created with the original time code. On the other hand, the local time code might be used in the editing studio, in which case, some time code conversion is needed to execute the EDL.
