Introducing The Four Eighths Project with RED and LaCie
We're making a film! A short film. A very short film. And we're doing it in three different ways with three different cameras to showcase just what's possible with RED's range and LaCie drives for post production.
Over the next few weeks we'll be sharing progress on our project to compare the RED KOMODO, RED DSMC2 MONSTRO 8K, and RED RANGER GEMINI 5K to, well, each other. And we'll be sharing insights into the post production process with both RED and LaCie - demystifying how it all really works. Spoiler alert: post production with RED is a lot easier that you might think.

The stage was set for 8K long before COVID-19 changed our world in 2020. In fact, 8K televisions were unveiled in 2019 at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). While the pandemic may have slowed the transition to 8K, it also has generated more interest and increased demand for high-definition resolution options. The pandemic has also altered how content is captured, leading to cloud-based and remote production that is already using 8K technology for background and exterior shots, as well as smart cropping. We expect to see the demand for 8K accelerate as we emerge from the long shadow of COVID-19.

Encoding an OTT (over-the-top) ladder can be a demanding job. To satisfy the needs of viewers on a variety of screen sizes and resolutions, like 4K TVs and smartphones, you will inevitably end up with an encoding ladder that has many rungs. For every rung, or every step on the ladder, typical encoding scenarios will require an encoding instance.

We are joined by Michelle Munson, CEO and Co Founder at Eluvio to discuss EluvioLive, a 4K streaming and ticketing platform for artists and publishers direct to fans, based in blockchain.
We hear how the platform is built on the Eluvio Content Fabric and what this means along with how 4k streaming is handled with low latency.
Michelle talks us through some of the big names that have worked with Eluvio including an upcoming event with the Black Eyed Peas.
We also discuss “Remonetize Endlessly” and how EluvioLive helps to seamlessly repurpose and redistribute content along with an overview of NFTs and how they are becoming more common place in the media industry.
Finally, Michelle talks us through future plans for Eluvio and the platform.

The popularity of OTT broadcasting is really helping to drive the growth of immersive content, and this presents both opportunities and challenges for the broadcast audio world. Mixing in immersive allows the audio engineer to create a sense of envelopment and realism like never before, but as channel count and mix complexity increases, the importance of neutral, uncoloured studio monitoring with precise imaging becomes even more important.
At Genelec we’ve long been involved with designing monitoring systems that are scalable from stereo to surround to immersive, so here we’ll examine some of the principles of immersive audio, and some of the considerations that audio professionals need to be aware of.

Today's rapidly changing broadcast marketplace necessitates faster channel launch and much more flexible content management, all while dealing with a massive increase in 8K, HD, and UHD data requirements and the ongoing need to reduce infrastructure and production costs. The white paper reflects specifically on these requirements by investigating the possibilities provided by an open broadcast content management and playout scheme, which, unlike all other broadcast technology, is completely deployed in the Cloud.
