This morning I had the pleasure of speaking to a collection of engineers from some of the leading facilities in London on the topic of MXF and some of the technical concepts behind the file format. We billed the event as being “focussed for solutions architects and engineers” and we aimed to demystify some of [...]
Thanks to everyone who attended Platform1 this year! It was a great turn out and the Seminars were really well received. Introduction & "Efficient File-Based Delivery" From the AS-11 UK DPP standard with file-based QC, through DCP creation and the new IMF, we examine the most efficient way to create file-based deliverables. "Working Remotely, for [...]
Vidfixer now also includes automatic correction of PSE flashing to ensure that files meet Ofcom requirements. It is no longer necessary to manually fix PSE errors, saving time and costs. […]

What is all this fuss about loudness? In broadcast and audio for video environments, we have traditionally metered audio based on the peak (or quasi-peak [1]) signal amplitude (or maximum sample values in the case of digital). This was great for making sure transmitters or analogue to digital converters were not over-modulated, but [...]
Stand H.16 “Work. Anywhere” is the theme of the root6 stand at BVE this year, where we’ll demonstrate how a combination of old ideas and new technology can free facilities from the traditional constraints of capacity and location, streamlining operations and importantly, cutting costs. […]
