The US Department of Health and Human Services recently completed a major upgrade of its television facility, resulting in an end-to-end file-based workflow. The upgrade is the topic of the cover story in the January issue of Government Video Magazine.
Chad Heupel, the HHS-TV Chief Engineer, says as part of the new facility, video ingest and editing is done on six Avid Media Composer Adrenaline systems.
"We
have them divided into two ingest areas," Heupel said. "Each ingest
area has an Adrenaline system and is equipped to handle whatever format
people might bring in, such as VHS, DVD, Beta SP, DigiBeta, DVCAM,
DVCPRO, and XDCAM, which is our primary shooting format at HHS. The
video is ingested at 1:1 onto the Unity Network and is edited in one of
our four Avid Adrenaline suites. With the ingest stations and Avid
suites, we have the ability to have six Avids working on projects at
once, which gives us tremendous editing capabilities in times of
emergency."
