8:15 AM Session A: The joy of content capture and creation: Digital Storage Provides a Home for Rich Content

Ther appears to be no limit to the storage requirements needed for rich content creation and production. While we may see petabytes of content captured today in a single video production project we will likely see exabytes in the not distant future. What are the storage and bandwidth requirements for stereoscopic and high definition content capture? What storage devices work best in which video production environments? What are the requirements for animation and special effects? What will the future hold for content capture and creation. This session will give you information that you will need to create tomorrow’s blockbusters and award winning content.

10:30 AM Session B: Much ado about something: The Storage Challenges of Video Editing
(Sponsored by Harmonic)

A vast pool of captured and created content requires sophisticated and high quality storage to support video editing and other post-production tasks. Video production and post-production don't just use storage, they inhale it. However video editing requires streaming video quality and latencies that are very different from requirements for traditional enterprise storage. Storage is a four-way balancing act between capacity, transfer rates, cost, and a relatively inexperienced user with no IT background. This session displays the challenges this presents the storage industry, with reports from end-users, and storage developers. Find out what is required now and what is projected for the future.
