Potential future developments

Metadata
–
–
–
–

Reduce the requirement for manual data input
Ease of reporting material usage
Save time for “production assistant”
Allow more time for programme production
Genealogy
– Allow programmes to inherit metadata
– Easy support of reporting requirements

Efficiency savings
– Further improvements to project management and storage
Metadata handling

Metadata automatically flows through system
– Data follows source material
– Data can include:




–
–
–
–
–
Recorder’s information
Technical information
Owner
Copyright information
No need to re-enter data – ever!
Audio material usage reporting greatly simplified
Saves producer’s time
Leaves more time to make programmes
Saves money
Genealogy

Automatically updates metadata
– As programme edited
– As new audio material added
– As existing audio material incorporated

Inherits metadata from previous broadcast
– Further eases reporting requirements
– Copes with last minute changes

Still accurately reports material usage
Efficiency Savings

Potential Further Enhancements
– Project storage and retrieval improvements
– Multimedia editing tools
– Potential for DAB editing tools
