NAB Show, Las Vegas, Booth SL6010: Digital Rapids -- the leading provider of tools and solutions for bringing television, film and Web content to wider audiences -- is providing transcoding capabilities to enable timely availability of video from the 2010 NAB Show on the official show website, www.nabshow.com.
Building on the success of last year's NAB Show video initiatives, production teams will be capturing and editing video throughout this year's event, including daily highlights packages; hosted feature segments from the exhibition floor; selections from NAB sessions, luncheons and keynotes; interviews and more. Interactive video recording booths, new at this year's show, let attendees share their insights and opinions for possible online publication. The Digital Rapids Transcode Manager automated, scalable transcoding system encodes edited video segments into the formats required for Web distribution. The resulting high-quality media files are then delivered to content distribution provider Highwinds for on-demand delivery to viewers through the NAB Show website.
"Our online video initiatives are critical in bringing both tangible highlights and the atmosphere of the NAB Show to those unable to attend in person," said Aaron Cullers, Manager of Convention Marketing for the National Association of Broadcasters. "Our experience with Digital Rapids Transcode Manager last year was excellent. Its exceptional workflow efficiency and automation enabled quick turnaround while minimizing the efforts of our post production and website staff, and we received tremendous feedback about the high quality of the viewing experience from our discerning audience. We're pleased to be working with Digital Rapids again for the 2010 NAB Show."
