Fig. 10. In the ENG-Live-to-Air work flow, the ProHD live feed comes in over microwave, gets decoded to HD-SDI in the ASI-to-HD Bridge (Miranda HD-Bridge DEC+), with the HD-SDI output going to Air through Master Control. Simultaneously, the ASI is supplied to the ASI-I/O capable News Servers for later editing, replay and archive. All ENG material is brought back to the TV station on ProHD tape cassettes and/or DR-HD100 for further processing and archive. The ProHD On- line Archive, the ProHD Edit Workstations, and the 720p-to-1080i conversion are explained below.
