New and Improved Newsrooms

摘要

Two new video formats will arrive at NAB with a big bang―and the reverberations will affect not only other news-related products but newsrooms across the country. Sony's XDCAM optical disk system and Panasonic's P2 solid-state-memory-based system, were unveiled last year. But this year, both systems are expected to be working and, more important, working alongside gear from other manufacturers. By year-end, the two formats will begin reshaping the newsroom. They bring to nonlinear editing (NLE) and other newsroom systems a video format that changes the way news is gathered, edited, and aired.
