Abstract

Based on a fifteen month investigation of a post productionfacilities for both the entertainment industry andbroadcasters, we identifieda number of challenges with the design and implementation ofa server in support of multiple editing stations.These include, how to: share the same content among multipleeditors, support continuous display of the editedcontent for each editor, support complex editingoperations, compute the set of changes (deltas)proposed by an editor, compare the deltas proposedby multiple editors, etc. It is beyond the focus of this paper to report oneach challenge and its related solutions.Instead, we focus on one challenge, namely how to supportcontinuous display of the edited content for each editors,and techniques for physical organization of data to addressthis challenge.
