On this occasion, the seminar will address the problem of the digitalization of production and post-production operations of audiovisual content. The event will provide information on new technologies, specific application cases and examples on how analog blackout and digital migration processes have been carried out in other countries. Topics such as workflows in digital intermediate processes, production for three screens, surround audio and 3D stereoscopy will also be addressed.
TV and Video interviewed the speakers who will be present at the Digital Television Without Stress seminar to know the reasons why you can not miss any of the conferences scheduled for the academic and technological meeting. See here, in the voice of the experts, what will happen during the two days of the seminar on vocational training.
Emilio Gimenan
3D digital stereoscopic production for film and TV
- Digital stereoscopy is the biggest opportunity for the industry in a generation.
- Current experience indicates that the public overwhelmingly enjoys a GOOD stereoscopic production.
- History shows us that a BAD stereoscopic production causes the public to reject this form of experience.
- The post-production process plays a critical role in producing high-quality technical content in stereoscopy.
- It is necessary to know what are the main problems in the realization of a technically correct stereoscopic post-production.

Day One: Technological trends in broadcast and professional video production
- Camcorder technologies continue to advance: CMOS sensors are challenging CCDs and digital video processing technologies are more sophisticated.
- Large-format HD cameras with a single sensor are gaining popularity for the high-quality production of movies, TV dramas, and commercials.
- Archival tapes based on non-linear recordings and associated workflows open up new flexibility in creativity but also pose challenges for interoperability.
- A price/performance hierarchy in HD lenses has emerged and aligns with the wide range of HD cameras and camcorders .
- The cost of storage is falling markedly and is driving further changes for production and post-production infrastructures.
- 3D HD has gained a greater interest in the production of movies, video games and more recently in live television (especially at sporting events).
Day Two: Evolution in the construction of the HD image: implications in production values
- Production equipment for 3D is moving in two directions: moving up in high-quality 1080/60P systems and down in costs of small format imaging systems. This produces a hierarchy in HD performance that is developed according to different genres of programs and production budgets.
- Video recording has also branched out into many variants in terms of recording media, video signal processing, and compression algorithms.
- Hd image performance assistance should be carefully evaluated in relation to the expected quality and expected service life of the programming.
Jeffrey Cree
Fully digital film production: the SI-2K
- Introduction to digital cinema.
- Description of camera menus and functions: standard, handheld and 3D.
- Discussion about the different camera configurations.
- Simple non-linear workflows.
Eloy Gutierrez
Digital Intermediate
- Flow and development of post-production processes for feature films. Image acquisition: brief explanation and differences of capture formats.
- Video or cinema? What is the best capture format? Revealed or digitized (depending on capture)?
- Post-production flow of a feature film, medium-length film, documentary or short film.
- Objective Film Out.
- Demo of formats and examples of projects according to video and film captures.
Green operations and studies
Louis Roges
- Social and environmental importance of sustainable or green design in parallel with eco-development.
- Sustainable design and the responsibility of broadcasters in relation to: audience education on the subject; set a precedent and example about the practice of sustainable design in the community where the station is located; and provide a healthy 'green' work environment for station employees.
- Elementary principles associated with sustainable design. Influence on the design of studies and new practices.
- Corporate and community advantages derived from ecosensitive and sustainable design.
Marcos Obadía
Content production for three screens.
- Content production both for distribution on high definition television, as well as for content services over broadband or mobile devices.
- What are the audience trends?
- Who sees what kind of content and on what platform?
- What types of content work best on which platforms? Examples.
- How to produce content for presentation and distribution on multiple platforms: from a 50- or 60-inch screen for 16:9 high definition, to a 5 cm screen for cell phones.
- What are the rules of the game to observe during production, post-production, coding and distribution.
Steve Krant
Day One: Extended TELEVISION
- The television landscape is changing before our eyes. This session will explore the forces – technological and social – that are transforming the world of media.
- How to survive? Receive new technologies, adapt to new paradigms of the audience and expand the business model.
Day Two: Automation for Multiple Distribution Channels
- Typical considerations and workflows to control and automate more channels and new media content.
- 'Content is king'. Media asset management. Automation is only part of the solution.
