We are providing various ways in which the recorded content can be reviewed prior to editing. As well as the main studio recording and any ‘Iso’ camera recordings, we can provide a quad-split view showing the recordings for each ‘take’ simultaneously. In all cases the processing to produce these different versions is automatic and is performed as a background process.

• Webpages – the log details entered by the PA are automatically carried through and can be viewed on a webpage, almost immediately. Links to the recorded content for each ‘take’ are also included and so a few moments after being recorded, the material can be reviewed.
  
• DVD – after new takes have been recorded, a DVD image file is also created automatically, complete with menus derived from the log details. The DVD allows any scene and take to be selected and the Main, Iso or a quad-split of all sources viewed. The DVD image files are updated frequently during a day’s recording, so that the DVD discs themselves can be written when required.
  
• Portable viewing – as a further aid to reviewing content, we can also encode and deliver the recording to hand-held media replay devices such as an Archos, iPod with video, or Tablet PC. These offer the advantage of being entirely self-contained but the smaller screen size means that editorial decisions can be more difficult.
