[David Roth Weiss] “[Jan Schulz] “We need to upload edited footage every night via sat to an ftp-server.”
This seems to be the weak link. Upload of several gigabytes of data takes quite a while. How do you intend to accomplish this on the road?”
This really is one of the weak spots. I haven’t been into the delivery part myself (some other guy’s problem for now). What I know is:
We deliver something like 5-10 minutes daily in h264. There’s some testing to be done but I think we’re ending up with something with 0.8 – 1.6 Gbyte (note: not tested until now). Last year we had some kind of inmarsat uplink and i think it’s going to be something similar again. That thing is horribly slow, so we might need to spend each night uploading ’til dawn. Unless we manage to find a file based, much faster solution.
