Content Insider #279 - NAB 2013 Wrap
It's 4K All The Way, Drawing Line in The Sand, Storing Stuff

Every time I come away from a big show I have to give myself a reality check and recall it was only a few years ago I waxed on and on about 3D TV and netbooks. Saw where that went right? Right. But NAB this year was freakin awesome. Cameras are getting to the point that any indie can afford them. The industry fatcat days are gone and they ain't coming back so the people who will survive are working harder/smarter. Broadcast folks welcomed the telcos in with forced smiles and there were some who weren't happy with competition at all. But with all the 4K-8K content it is still all about storage and that cute thing called "the cloud." We'll tie up all the loose ends...next week. Read More

Next to backup and archiving about the toughest thing to get people excited about is storage. Oh sure you know you have to have it but storage is just well...storage. But a new smartphone, new tablet, new notebook that is so special, so cool (with friends and business associates). It's sad because without storage all that brilliant content you create, share, show, view would be passing ones, zeros. When you shut down your device...gone! Sure there's new excitement now because of the super sweet SSDs (solid state devices). Finally storage that gives you fast response, performance. Storage that helps your device last a little longer between wall outlets. It's so great it is out to bury hard drives, tape, optical. Read More

AKITIO ENCLOSURE

The Akitio Neutrino U3+ enclosure is for everyone, and more specifically for some than others. Like many other enclosures of its kind, it supports a nice array of connection standards. The function is what you'd expect from an external hard drive enclosure. The Neutrino U3+ has the added benefit of being designed beautifully, and fits as a companion to your other Mac hardware.

Content Insider 228 - NAB Wrap Deux

The Nvidia GPU Conference gave us yet another peek into why the GPU still matters. Jen-Hsun Huang runs a high tempo aggressive team that is always pushing the envelope and his latest announcement was no exception bringing tears to our son's eyes because he so wanted one of the $1K units but no way! It may be all about gaming power but the pixel processing power took us right back to NAB and how their latest offerings and technology announcements is keeping pace with movie and broadcast producers demands for better quality video and faster encoding. And yes you still have to store it all somewhere! Read More

Content Insider 228 - NAB Wrap

NAB is the second most popular event for us to attend because we like to see how prehistoric our years in TV were compared to today and it's like light years. This year we're way beyond pushing stuff to the tube. The content people are sending stuff to everything. We know that's not a brilliant observation but what literally blows us away is how the industry is now able to do it so precisely to your mobile device, in the right format, even at the right time and BAM!!! With the right ads around it that are of most interest to you. It is so elegant. Oh sure they're not exactly certain what your threshold of pain will be for the volume of ads but they're working on that. Oh and NAB was cloudy too. We're going to have to revisit this again...shortly but for now... Read More

Under New Management

In legacy versions of Final Cut Pro you had to set scratch disks to manage where your video data and cache files would be stored. And you were limited to twelve drives at any one time. Final Cut Pro X makes it easier to specify where your video and project files are stored, automatically saving your Events and Projects in the Movies folder by default. But have no fear, your Events and Projects can be stored on any drive connected to your Mac, and you can easily move existing Events and Projects between drives when needed to keep your stories organized.
