MR-HD100 NFR Workflow

Traditional File-Based Workflow

Traditional video workflow is based on the film industry. Video like film is considered as an actual strip of film or tape that is identified by a code number. Records of the content of the video is physically logged and maintained separately from the tape.

A significant part of the workflow involves the physical handling, processing, logging, and storing of individual items.

Even with the introduction of digital media, much of the old workflow remains. Video clips, though digital and now easily duplicated, are still often identified by a code number that identifies the video file, much like a strip of film.

MR-HD100 and Content-Based Workflow

The MR-HD100 combines Native File Recording (NFR) technology and integrated metadata logging to create content- based workflow that is significantly more efficient than the file- based method. The MR-HD100 provides the ability to video content and related metadata that can be downloaded, ready to edit, into the Final Cut Pro editor.

Content-based workflow involves:

•Defining Project

Using storyboards, scripts, director’s shot list, and other means, the video team visualizes how the final project will look and the individual tasks needed to create the video content. This information is the basis for the fields in the metadata template.
