This article is part 2 of a three-part series on modern broadcast workflows. You can find the other two parts of this series by following these links:
Part 1: Colour in modern broadcast post-production
Part 3: Collaboration in modern post-production
Introduction The digitisation of post-production processes can be considered complete. But are pure digital reproductions of non-digital workflows desirable? Does this approach explore all the potential? How would you design a state-of-the-art broadcast post-production from scratch today?
The German broadcaster, SWR, faced precisely this challenge in 2021. It planned to move digital colour correction to new premises and completely overhaul it in the process. The requirement was not only of a technical nature, but also to bring existing working methods up to date. We at FilmLight, the developer of the Baselight colour correction system, had the pleasure of supporting SWR in realising these ambitions.
In this three-part series of articles, we take a closer look at the different aspects of this project. In this part, part two, we are focusing on the redesign of the IT systems.
Online editorial workplace at SWR in Baden Baden. The creation of ergonomic workplaces was a priority when equipping the rooms.
