HISTORY
FILM - 100+ YEARS• Static process• Until 2000
VIDEO - 60+ YEARS• Rapid technological
advances2 major changes:• Analogue to digital• Non-linear

TRENDSVideoDigital changes• Acquisition and Storage• Transmission• Consumption
Film• Manual until 2000• Visual effects and first D.I.• Digital manipulation and
storage• Acquisition• Delivery/Consumption

CONVERGENCE
Film and Video appear to be converging:
• Acquisition• Editorial• Special Effects• Grading• Delivery
Data-centric workflows are evolving
Images and sequences treated as:• Digital image data• Metadata essence
![Page 5: iDiff 2008 conference #02 IP-Racine Filmlight seminar](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555cf4e2d8b42add648b4d81/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
CHANGING WORKFLOW
• Manufacturers can’t specify how users will work
• No one single workflow• Fragmentation of processes• Increased speed, quality and complexity -
with reduced cost
Workflow equationCOST QUALITY/PERFORMANCE
![Page 6: iDiff 2008 conference #02 IP-Racine Filmlight seminar](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555cf4e2d8b42add648b4d81/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
MODERN ISSUESImage Data• Resolution, Bit depth, Format, Frame
rate, Colourspace, Encoding, Encryption
Metadata• Format, Interpretation, maintenance,
addition, interchange
Data Handling• Speed, transport mechanism
Data Management• Changes, Versioning, Metadata, Archival
Cost/Performance• Balancing the equation

SYSTEMS APPROACH
Moore’s Law doesn’t hold
System limitations:• Processing power• Disk I/O speed• Disk capacity• Data integrity• Graphics visualisation
