Expertise

• most companies have either Video or Audio

know-how, not always both

• people say:

„We always have done it that way.“

However

• Productions must become more efficient

despite growing demands

Audio/Video Integration – Challenges 1

Audio/Video Integration – Challenges 2

October 11th 2012

Practical Challenges

• Keep Video and Audio in Sync

• Video and (embedded) Audio on one cable

but nearly no equipment can process both

-> heaps of „modular“ Embedders and De-

Embedders needed

• Different Video Formats used in productions

• Monitoring Quality and Alerts
