Real time interaction between your client and editor from anywhere is a concept that has become a reality! Henninger Media Services is the video post production leader in the Mid-Atlantic region, and they have launched a service that can be best described as "no limitation of distance". The Virtual Interactive Presence (VIP) system removes the delay in the collaboration cycle from editor to client by providing a better all around solution that removes the upload process to a secure ftp server- the receive and download to the reviewing client-then to the process of communication to the post professional. The VIP system works with customized equipment which is calibrated to the clients viewing monitor- the content is delivered via a user name and password-secured internet connection, giving the client immediate access and review!
"What sets VIP apart from other solutions is its ability to display a full-frame HD signal at both 1080i/59.94 and 1080p/23.976 frame rates, with latency times well under 10 seconds." discussed Henninger's Chief Technology Officer, Sam Crawford
The Henninger's VIP system is currently providing the stability and reliability to Half Yard Productions, a reality and documentary production company based in Bethesda, Maryland! "We collaborated with Henninger to come up with the best workflow possible. We were very excited when Henninger presented this new workflow to us," Cameron Young, Half Yard's Manager of Post Production & Technical Operations added. "Once we began experimenting with VIP, I knew we were onto something that would benefit us and them simultaneously while maintaining the high standards we expect from them." The Henninger VIP system allows Half Yard producers to screen and approve the color correction, as well as the audio mix, in one of their suites just down the hall; creating a seamless environment as though they are sitting in the same room as the Henninger colorist.
The VIP system by Henninger is available for several applications such as monitoring and approving editorial, color correction, and stereo audio mix sessions. The plan is to continue development in the area of surround sound monitoring, as well as, optimization for connectivity via mobile devices! "The most ideal configuration of the VIP system is going to be with dedicated hardware installed and calibrated at the satellite location for long-form projects and long-term multi-episode programs," Crawford commented. "We do, however, recognize that there are circumstances in which the client isn't going to be in a traditional suite as well."
