Cinematography, traditionally, a film based medium, has embraced digital technology leading to innovative transformations in its work flow. Digital cinema supports transmission of high resolution content enabled by the latest advancements in optical communications and video compression. In this paper we provide a survey of the optical network technologies for supporting this bandwidth intensive traffic class. We also highlight the significance and benefits of the state ofthe art in optical technologies that support the digital cinema work flow. 1. Introduction its real-time nature.

  • Digital Workflows
    NOTES ON DIGITAL WORKFLOWS – Version 2.1 Terry Flaxton, 19th November, 2011/Revised December 2013 These notes have several functions the bulk of information presented was a consultation document for Creative England but in the form you have before you it has been reformatted to accompany a set of online evaluative exercises, preceding and then following a workshop. These notes are not meant to be extensive. I’m setting them out for you to read after you’ve filled in the evaluation and before you take the workshop. The principle I’m working to is an old television principle: Tell them what you’re going to tell them, tell them it, then tell them again. So in this case it’s to tell you this information in this pdf, tell you again during the workshop, then have you re-read the information after the workshop. Plus – if you’re serious, everything I’m about to say you should challenge with further research yourself (then let me know if I’ve got it wrong). At a presentation in 2011 a Producer/Director put me on the spot with the question: ‘I’ve asked many a cameraperson what High Definition is, and no one’s been able to tell me to my satisfaction – so what is it?’ At this point I immediately remembered the title of the presentation I used to give on the subject titled ‘High Definition – No Mercy’. I called it that because the question, though simple, has a myriad and complex answer and if you really want to know the truth – you must engage with all of its complexity.
