The Directors believe that this is the first application of its kind - browsequality is uploaded from location and edited centrally by experts; the FORsceneDV system then uploads at broadcast quality those video frames used in the finaledit and reconstructs the programme for download by broadcasters. This continues the trend towards browser based applications such as search,auctions, retail, information resources and social networking. FORscene DVenables professionals to edit broadcast items shot on location with entirelyweb-based tools. Currently, three ways to get video back from location for broadcast have beento: (1) use an expensive high speed link such as a satellite; (2) wait for a courier or slow electronic connection; and (3) use journalists to edit the video on location. The Directors believe that FORscene DV avoids some of the pitfalls with thesemethods. The process avoids the wasteful upload of unused footage at broadcastquality, saving time and cost. It also avoids the need to provide local editingsoftware and expertise. It has become viable with advances in internet speedsand tools. The application is of particular relevance in time critical reporting, such asnews. On location journalists with a DV camera can concentrate on filming,leaving the video editing to professionals who have access to the wider context,as well as library footage. In addition, companies selling video footage cangive browse access for shot selection. Having chosen video material, customerscan download the broadcast quality clips through the web interface.
