Planetarium Services - Digital Video and Graphics for Planetaria and Exhibits.....A Workshop

At the recent MAPS/SEPA Conference in Richmond, VA Jeff presented a detailed workshop designed to help sort through the maze of current, obsolete, and forthcoming digital audio, video, and control file formats.

This is an area of understanding that is normally very, very ""techy"" and Jeff's workshop and workbook was designed to help even the most inexperienced person begin to sort through determination of which file formats would best fit their uses in the world of creation, editing, production and presentation of digital audio, video, and graphics media.

The copyrighted workshop booklet is provided here for your educational use download.

Section 9 is a nice summary of when to and when not to use which file types and resolutions, and Section 11 is a section of contributions by:

Michael Daut: Evans and Sutherland Digital Theaters
Mike Bruno: Spitz, Inc
Todd Mortensen, Shigeki Ogawa: Minolta MediaGlobe
Mark Trotter: Bowen Technovation
Paul Tetu: Sky-Skan
