*The production of one HD esset equals four SD output**the above calculation estimates that all platforms are capable for archiving***30 ep per package****20% of HD production***** Both scheduling and production depends of the complexity of the platform. There is no linear calculation (platform exclusivity, pre rolls, subtitling etc )

MC-CE Op Gap analyzes
CE Limitations, Benefits, Priorities
Major bottle neck is on the VOD side
Long form storage (archive and restore) VOD scheduling and delivery
Remote ingest working storage(Source content pulling for a mid term storage)
1 Gig Bp-Lon connection
CE Op limitations
Source storage as a buffer to pullCineshare – Aspera etc
Remote ingest Implementation of Operations report

linear) Harding FPA test for TX ready contents
