Content was king at this year’s NAB (National Association of Broadcasters), especially 4K content.
While all the servants of the king jockeyed around to see who was going to be the favorite court jester, most didn’t pay a lot of attention to the power of the throne … Queen Storage.
That’s probably why Cisco is so bullish about tomorrow.
They’re pretty confident that by 2016, consumer video across the Internet will be 55 percent of traffic.
Of course, if you add the OTT (over the top) content, business videos and the channels to streaming media players like UltraFlix, P2P (peer to peer), VOD (video on demand) and we’re talking about 86 percent of the traffic.
Edwin simply said, “It’s not how you stand by your car, it’s how you race your car.”
That’s probably why there was so much buzz about 4K and so many new folks finding out about economical cameras, post production HW/SW and … storage.
The 4K content we’re going to see everywhere shortly is something to behold and something to hold.
Uncompressed 4K content – 24fps (frames per second), 10-bit – has a lot of weight:
– 1 sec – 253.125MB
– 1 min = 15.2GB
– 1 hr = 911.3GB
And less than 20-30 percent of the stuff shot probably sees the light of a screen. The rest is kept around … just in case.
Can’t simply send that stuff to the cloud because folks who know know The Cloud is nothing but a bunch of huge storage farms spread around the globe.
Content is King
The capture options at NAB included cameras of every shape, size and price but my favorites were RED and Blackmagic.
