February 2011: expansion

[edit]

Just making an outline for others wishing to help expand the article stub:

  • History & "first use" of the term/acronym with source. Focus Enhancements uses it the most, it appears (photos of FS-100 show DTE® Technology). Panasonic P2 system may have been the origin of the workflow concept.
  • Description of NLE workflow that led to the technology.
  • Major video company players & equipment models extant:
    • Panasonic [P2 system]
    • Sony [HVR-MRC1, MRU, etc.]
    • Focus Enhancements [Firestore FS-series]
    • Aja [KiPro, KiPro Mini]
  • Advantages over tape:
    • Non-linear files rather than "real-time" tapes.
    • Editors & data-jockeys/camera assistants can work quicker.
  • Disadvantages/drawbacks:
    • File-transfer bottlenecks due to FireWire & computer bus speeds:
      • IEEE 1394 (FW-400/i.Link) vs. IEEE 1394b (FW-800)
      • Although "non-linear", still "takes time" due to large filesizes.
  • Future of industry direction:
    • No "crystal balling", rather current white-papers & future-product announcements/prototypes.
    • E.G.: Fibre-optic interfaces for increased speed/thru-put on the horizon? Chip-speed limitations?
  • Visuals:
    • Typical small form-factor model & storage card/module.
    • Typical on-camera Velcro "kludge" and/or hot-shoe mount.
    • Need free-use WP:CC-BY-SA materials.
    • Possible workflow diagram?

Thanks for any additions to this list & contributions to the article. — DennisDallas (talk) 15:33, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
