The Missing Link in File-Based Video: Automated QC White Paper

The broadcast world is going digital, and the digital domain is expanding enormously for broadcasters. In the past, 'digital' meant taking video from analog tape, encoding it to MPEG-2 and then transmitting it. However, the entire broadcasting landscape is getting more complex with distribution via terrestrial, satellite, cable, 'podcasts', HD-DVD, internet and mobile; not just standard definition but also HD (High Definition) and many other resolutions to suit the new distribution media. Content is being re-purposed at these different resolutions and frame rates, using new codecs and at different bit-rates, with different system requirements for each.
