DIGITAL PRODUCTION BUZZ COVERS WORKFLOWS, MEDIA ASSET MANAGEMENT, AND SOCIAL NETWORK MARKETING
Leading Digital Media Podcast Features Inlet Technologies, Control Group Inc., and Ringside Networks
The current episode of Creative Planet’s Digital Production BuZZ, the world's only interactive talk radio for digital production, post-production and distribution, covers topics including creating automated media delivery workflows, an alternative view of media asset management and using social networks for marketing.
Neil Selvin, president of Inlet Technologies, joins the show to discuss the company’s award-winning Armada Automated Work Flow Management System, which was launched at NAB 2008. Inlet provides a hardware-based system that provides high-quality video compression in either real-time or batch processing. Selvin used sports as an example of how this can improve new media delivery. “The key is balancing bandwidth with image quality,” Selvin explained. “Why post tiny 320 x 240 images to the web when, with the right compression, you can post images much closer to HD in size. Imagine the improvements you will get in image quality and user satisfaction.” For more information, visit www.inlethd.com.
Scott Anderson, partner of The Control Group, a consulting, outsourcing, and managed services company based in New York City, explains their development of applications designed to enable large groups to interact on a Final Cut Pro workflow. “No one had worked with XML much,” said Anderson. “It was a pretty daunting task. We used XML to describe the entire Final Cut project from clips, bins, sequences, and transitions to create an automated editing workflow. We discovered that the possibilities would be almost endless.” For more information, visit www.controlgroup.com.
Ringside Networks brings the power of social applications directly to corporate websites and business applications. Founder Bob Bickel talks about how to use this new technology to improve marketing, visibility, and credibility. “Social networking is really a great way to engage users into social websites and to enable them to communicate with each other,” Bickel noted. “Our software makes it very easy to add social networking to your website to build a community around your company. Our software also allows you to integrate with myspace and Facebook.” For more information visit www.ringsidenetworks.com and www.bobbickel.blogspot.com.
