The unique workflow of 844/X, combining full-featured editing with fast compositing and 10-bit image processing image processing Set of computational techniques for analyzing, enhancing, compressing, and reconstructing images. Its main components are importing, in which an image is captured through scanning or digital photography; analysis and manipulation of the image, accomplished throughout, provides SDPB's production studio with the power to quickly design eye-catching and informative graphics segments and promotions for television transmission. "Television broadcasting demands that the elements and show graphics we create get to air as soon as possible. This includes all of the intricate, multi-layer segments that might open a show or be used to promote it via a standalone spot," said Brad Van Osdel, production manager for SDPB. "When we first saw 844/X demonstrated, we knew that its speed and amazing 10-bit image processing architecture would allow us to deliver the highest-quality content faster than we ever could before. And 844/X was engineered to easily and incrementally add support for the high definition (HD) format in the future, a critical requirement for every broadcaster today." 844/X also made sense for SDPB's graphics and effects workflow, which has been based around two Media 100 i systems. 844/X not only interfaces well with these systems, but also allows SDPB to easily import files from older linear equipment, such as its character generator. More than anything, Osdel's division can maximize the breakthrough speed of 844/X to turn around higher quantities of work in service of the broadcaster's many different show producers, departments and transmission outlets. "Using 844/X allows us to produce a larger number of spots, and to take on a higher volume of projects -- network identities and other graphics, etc. So we can be both more creative and more serviceable to the needs of SDPB as the state's public broadcasting entity," Van Osdel remarked. "It's amazing for us and for our show producers to work on the 844/X system, make changes or fixes to a layer or an effect and see the results right away. Before 844/X, you'd make a change, send it off to render and get it back only the next morning -- that's not ideal for the fast pace of television. But 844/X has the real-time speed needed today."
