File-based Workflows in Broadcast and Production: Principles and Applications

This program will discuss the differences between baseband television production
processes and more contemporary techniques using file based approaches.
The conference will present a sound foundation in Information Technology (IT) concepts
and principles as they relate to real time media and non real time production techniques.
This will support material presented on file-based workflows in the context of broadcast
television operations, television news, file-based content distribution networks, episodic
program production and corporate video post production. Sessions will also provide
practical guidance on conversion from production using baseband audio & video to
file-based processes.

Finally, the use of metadata, archives, and asset management will be discussed.
