Content creation is where it all starts! What comes down the lens or enters the microphone is absolutely the most important part of any production as it is the first and last chance to capture content at the very best quality of the day.
It is also about having the right tools to produce that content, be it a vision mixer, editing platform or replay workflow especially with live sport.
At D2N we believe that regardless of what the endgame is with your content you should drive your content capture as high as financially or technically possible. That doesn’t mean everything you do needs to be in 4K or 8K, 5.1 or Dolby ATMOS, but it should form the foundation of what you are trying to achieve.
With so many manufacturers offering cost effective broadcast quality capture devices, hardware and software-based vision mixers, and non-linear editing workflows, it can be quite challenging to decide where to spend your money; we certainly are spoilt for choice! In terms of video, if we break this down into the basic building blocks, we have a camera, and we have a lens.
Understanding a little about how camera’s capture, and how lenses provide that optical connection is crucial to understanding why certain kit behaves in certain ways in certain applications or scenes. When thinking about vision mixing or editing solutions, the focus shifts to what type of content are you wanting to produce.
