| Popis: | The BBC's ORBIT project is investigating the scalable application of mass-market IT equipment to distributed television production. A set of interconnected production, archive, and playout networks is being developed. CORBA object middleware is used to provide studio services to desktop applications. Example services are material intake and replay, content storage, and metadata searching. A prototype AAF import/export facility provides interoperability with external systems. This work offers the prospect of reduced equipment costs, integrated desktop access to essence and metadata, system reconfigurability and scalability, and compatibility with new distribution methods. The project is contributing to ongoing standardization work in the areas of content formats and control. |
