  • Designing a Cinema Auditorium
    ROLV GJESTLAND HOW TO DESIGN A CINEMA AUDITORIUM Practical guidelines for architects, cinema owners and others involved in planning and building cinemas HOW TO USE THIS BOOK This book can be read from beginning to end, to learn more about the elements that need to be taken into consideration when designing a cinema auditorium. But it may also be used as a reference in the design process, as the different parts of the auditorium are planned. Just be aware that making a change in one element might affect others. Designing a cinema auditorium is quite easy if you follow the rules. Although, if everyone follows all the rules, all auditoriums would look the same. Go beyond the rules, but always keep in mind that the main purpose of a cinema auditorium is to give the audience the best film experience. In addition, there are many other rooms in a cinema complex where you can use your creativity to create great experiences for patrons and make them want to come back. FEEDBACK This is the first edition of the book, and I am sure someone will miss something, someone will disagree with something and something will be incomplete or difficult to understand. Please do not hesitate to share your opinions, so the next edition can be better and the next one after that… Please use the contact info below. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Rolv Gjestland has a master's degree in metallurgy from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. He is now advisor in cinema concepts, design, logistics and technology for Film&Kino, the nonprofit trade organisation for Norwegian cinemas.

  • (A/V Codecs) REDCODE RAW (.R3D) ARRIRAW
    What is a Codec? Codec is a portmanteau of either "Compressor-Decompressor" or "Coder-Decoder," which describes a device or program capable of performing transformations on a data stream or signal. Codecs encode a stream or signal for transmission, storage or encryption and decode it for viewing or editing. Codecs are often used in videoconferencing and streaming media solutions. A video codec converts analog video signals from a video camera into digital signals for transmission. It then converts the digital signals back to analog for display. An audio codec converts analog audio signals from a microphone into digital signals for transmission. It then converts the digital signals back to analog for playing. The raw encoded form of audio and video data is often called essence, to distinguish it from the metadata information that together make up the information content of the stream and any "wrapper" data that is then added to aid access to or improve the robustness of the stream. Most codecs are lossy, in order to get a reasonably small file size. There are lossless codecs as well, but for most purposes the almost imperceptible increase in quality is not worth the considerable increase in data size. The main exception is if the data will undergo more processing in the future, in which case the repeated lossy encoding would damage the eventual quality too much. Many multimedia data streams need to contain both audio and video data, and often some form of metadata that permits synchronization of the audio and video. Each of these three streams may be handled by different programs, processes, or hardware; but for the multimedia data stream to be useful in stored or transmitted form, they must be encapsulated together in a container format.

  • Avid Technology Announces Q2 2020 Results
    Avid Technology Announces Q2 2020 Results August 3, 2020 68% Year-Over-Year Subscription Revenue Growth Driven by Continued Increase in Paid Subscriptions with Net Increase of 24,000 Subscriptions in the Quarter Operating Income Increased 214% Year-Over-Year from Improved Gross Margin and Significantly Reduced Operating Expenses BURLINGTON, Mass., Aug. 03, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Avid® (NASDAQ: AVID), a leading technology provider that powers the media and entertainment industry, today announced its second quarter 2020 financial results. During the second quarter, the Recurring Revenue components of the company’s business were resilient despite the COVID-19 global pandemic. The Company reported record subscription revenue of $16.4 million, up 68% year-over-year and maintenance revenue was stable, resulting in 8.5% year-over-year growth in Annual Contract Value. Also, in the quarter, Avid significantly improved its profitability as a result of higher gross margin coupled with a more efficient cost structure. The year-over-year improvement in gross margin of 760 basis points was a result of a greater portion of revenue coming from higher-margin software in the quarter and benefits from expense reductions in non-material cost of sales. Profitability was also enhanced by the $11 million year-over-year reduction in operating expenses in the quarter, which the Company will continue to closely manage towards the target of at least a $30 million reduction for fiscal 2020. For the second quarter, total revenue declined year-over-year, as the non-Recurring Revenue portions of the Company’s business related to product and professional services continued to be negatively impacted by weaker demand as a result of the COVID-19 global pandemic, which has caused the postponement or cancellation of many live music and major sporting events, and the temporary suspension of many film and television productions.
