master-control automation software (MCAS)

Automating the Digital Future - 4/2/2007 - Broadcasting & Cable

To put it bluntly, station automation controls a station's cash register. So it needs to work correctly.

A key premise behind broadcasters' adoption of information-technology (IT) hardware and file-based workflows is that jobs previously performed by human operators can now be handled by software. That improves efficiency—and, frankly, by eliminating employees, it lowers operating expenses.

iTunes movie rentals?

ATV's News Archive September 10th - September 14th

Apple is said to be talking with major Hollywood studios about adding 30-day rentals to its iTunes online media store. Apple is believed to be working towards starting the new service some time in the fall which would offer a 30-day rental for $2.99. A deal would allow iPod users to watch movies during the rental period without purchasing the entire film. Rights management software would allow the movies to be viewed on an iPod or iPhone, but would prevent them from being copied.

Microsoft Windows Media - Architecture of Windows Media Rights Manager

Architecture of Windows Media Rights Manager.

When a consumer acquires an encrypted digital media file from a Web site, he or she must also acquire a license that contains a key to unlock the file before the content can be played. Content owners can easily set these licenses and keys in motion by protecting their content files with Microsoft® Windows Media® Rights Manager and then distributing the content to consumers.

DRM Scorecard vs hackers

DRM Scorecard: Hackers Batting 1000, Industry Zero - Wolfe's Den Blog - InformationWeek

Forget the moral questions: Whether the millions of kids who load up their iPods from LimeWire are thieves, or whether there's something incongruous about Sheryl Crow, a millionaire many times over, railing against piracy. When you look at the technology, there's no getting around the fact that DRM is an abject failure. I put together a scorecard, which shows that every single significant attempt at consumer-music DRM has been cracked. Here it is:

Techworld.com - From tapes to bits

When terrorists demolished the twin towers on September 11, 2001, producers of the PBS documentary program Frontline needed to quickly create shows about al-Qaeda. They had footage of Osama bin Laden from previous broadcasts, but it was on videotapes and CDs stored in cardboard boxes on library shelves. As a result, archivists spent 625 hours over a period of two months fielding producers' requests for material, finding it and then reshelving it.
