The Wonderful World of F.T.P.  

Posted by Jim Robinson

When I began in the tv news business, I never thought using an internet connection would be the future of transmission.  This weekend, I realized it's here.  As I posting things for the Miami Herald, and CBS Newspath, it was apparent that I needed to master the technology that is going to be fully here in 5 years.  


The settings we use are broadcast standard, 720x480 and we compress it down to a H.264 file.  An mpeg 4 file.  I know it probably doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but if your coming into the business, LEARN THIS!

I have also seen those comfortable with the standard, (until now anyway) loose their mind working with FTP.  While I'm excited to learn more, I'm also WAAAY behind.  I'll be heading to Barnes and Noble to find every book possible on internet video.  I suggest everyone do the same.  J
