Endless movement
Ever since yesterday, when Tom and I recorded the first Digital Media Galaxy podcast, I’ve been thinking hard about the challenges he discussed in that episode.
Then, today, I ran across this story in Broadcast Engineering.
The predictions of what’s going to happen (30Mb/sec in the home!) in the short term has gotta make the harried production supervisor we were discussing want to tear his or her hair out trying to get all that content ready.
But that’s nothing compared to the impact on the M&E industry in general…especially those companies whose workflows don’t allow them to take advantage of these new distribution capabilities because their digital media distribution management systems can’t support these opportunities.
You won’t be surprised to hear that we think the “secret sauce of success” in this radically changing ecosystem is having the ability to manage, secure, automate and accelerate the (endless) movement of digital media in this new world.
Everything you read, everything you hear points to this being a key, critical capability for M&E companies.
