NAB 2004 REVIEW

摘要

There is no easy way to do this -100 pages wouldn't do justice to the myriad new products that made their debut at NAB 2004. Forgive me, therefore, for the pace and brevity of this report, and for failing to mention every key launch. It will, however, give you a fair summary of what went on at this year's NAB. Apple unveiled Final Cut Pro HD, the latest version of Apple's Emmy award-winning editing software, now with the real-time performance of high-quality native DVCPRO HD in addition to realtime support for DV and SD. Final Cut Pro HD delivers the ability to capture, edit and output broadcast-quality high definition (HD) video over a single FireWire cable, without requiring any additional hardware - an industry first. Final Cut Pro HD supports native DVCPRO HD editing with no recom-pression or image degradation and enables HD preview monitoring on an Apple Cinema HD Display. BBC Technology announced the release of version 1.0 of the Colledia AAF Plug-in for Windows Media 9 Series (WM9S). Furthermore, the AAF Plug-in for WM9S, with support for the new AAF Edit Protocol, will be available in late summer. The AAF Plug-in is a component of BBC Technology's production workflow software, Colledia Workflow. This 'enabling technology' will empower news producers, editors and journalists to access, utilise and deliver high quality media and metadata to the desktop, and deliver a true enterprise-scale solution for supporting the full broadcast media lifecycle.
