1. Introduction
1.1 Orientation
Serial digital interface (SDI) is a good mechanism standardized by SMTP (The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers) which is used for digital video interfaces. The data in this method is transferring using coaxial cable. This study case is to produce Channel 4 which is one of the Australian free to air television

1.3 Definitions and Limitations
This design should increase operational efficiency and overall profitability based on return on investment (ROE) calculations.
Limitation could be in:-
-estimating and gathering more information about the existing network and applications
-The cost required to update the existing network to IP network.
-Applying mechanism to ensure that the service level agreement is met.
2. Analysis and specification
2.1 Initial condition
Channel 4 has two studios located in Sydney and Melbourne and four free to air television channels (channel4, C4forKids, WOW and QTV). In addition, channel 4 has three types of video contents:-
InProd content is edited by Channel 4 and finished product is sent as SDI streams to be stored in the digital media center, via Studio Router.
ExProd content is provided to Channel4 on solid state media as a digitized video file. These files are stored in the Digital Media center until required.
Live Video Feed is live news and programs to broadcast directly to Australia.
The existing Studio Router takes SDI/ASI input and assign it to many outputs such as MPEG Encoder, Video output, Satellite Uplink or Digital Video Network (DVN) to Media Hub.
There are three DVN that transfer MPEG Encoded videos either from Digital Media Center or live Video from a News Studio to the Media Hub (Figure 1).

The current Broadcast Network is duplicated in Sydney and
D1 – Explain the benefits and drawbacks of the different formats that can be used to deliver interactive media authored products.
Unlike traditional pay per view, VOD, usually offered by a local cable provider, offers subscribers wider choice and the ability to start a movie whenever they want, instead of at a pre-arranged time. Up to this point, Video on Demand (VOD) is expanding,
In the digital era of convergent media, the most obvious about the change of cinema is the storage which rely on celluloid that you can touch in the past. Now, however, it is stored as electronic packets of 1s and 0s which is virtual. The changes of the cinema is not only about the film storage, but also the production,post-production, exhibition and distribution which is the main part of the film industry structure. In the era of celluloid, the four steps of movie is relatively independent and has its sequence. In digital movie, whereas, the connection and integration among four parts of industry structure are ever close.
AE = Profitability and/or decision analysis is applied appropriately in the analysis of at least three strategic alternatives and at least one other relevant performance management concept or tool is applied appropriately in the quantitative analyses;
The use of data in today’s commercials is a vital role that cannot be overlooked. That is there is a need to backup data on physical mediums. The main mediums are hard-drive, flash drive, optical disc, and tape drive. There is multiply different version of each main type of medium. These different physical mediums store data in different ways. Fragmentation can also be an issue for some of these physical mediums. I will cover each medium in a little depth because of the different types available in today’s market.
Has two memory card slots to store the videos' footages in Secure Digital (SD), (SDXC), or (SDHC) format. [1]
Q. 4 Identify and explain the three factors that influence the quality of digital video
When designing a WAN, numerous factors must be considered. Organizations attempting to connect multiple factories or offices and remote personnel must take into account a number of variables that will impact overall costs and network functionality. When designing and implementing wide area networks (WANs) that integrate voice, video,
company. The technology used to film and edit programming impacts the operations and distribution of the company’s original content. Within procurement’s 33% share of revenues, technology makes up the largest share as firms in this industry must invest to compete. The linkages here are vertical; without the newest technologies, it takes longer to produce and edit new series to the standard customers expect. If Disney’s technologies fail to deliver visually high-quality content in a timely manner, consumers will watch elsewhere.
cheaper and more convenient alternatives such as cable/ satellite providers offering recordings via DVR, cell phones, tablets and other electronic devices
* In-depth audit and diagnose strengths and weaknesses of the NBC channels currently available, to establish improvement plans and the opportunities and threats of new channels at their disposal.
The decision maker of the project who is going to decide to implement the provided solution is Linda Metzler, production planning manager of MRL. Her objective is minimizing the cost while keeping the reputation of the company at high levels considering the future of the company. Her decision criteria and performance measures are in detail in the next part and environment related assumptions are described in assumptions.
Live streaming media is the transmission over the Internet of video of an event as it happens. Streaming is a form of online video in which the site sends video footage to a user’s machine “on the fly” rather than as a complete file. It’s akin to the difference between watching a TV show as it airs and watching a DVD.
In the fall of 2000, Microsoft introduced UltimateTV. Similar to TiVo, Microsoft’s UltimateTV was a DVR add-on to its WebTV service which already offered email and web browsing, things which TiVo did not. UltimateTV also had other features such as recording two shows at once and 30-second skip. Microsoft’s UltimateTV did have some weaknesses, however. This included a lack of time in the DVR market and a relatively small group of current subscribers to their WebTV service. Thus, Microsoft needs to convince consumers not only that UltimateTV is superior to TiVo but that WebTV is a useful tool.
Advancements in the information technology sector have brought many benefits to the people all around the world. Today with computer networking, we can chat, speak and see each other over a long distance. Data communication refers to the transmission of the digital signals over a communication channel between the transmitter and receiver computers. Communication is possible only with wired and wireless connectivity of the computers with each other.
