Broadcast Engineering - February 2009 - (Page 13) DownloaD Beyond the headlines complicate playout by placing increased demands on it. More frequent and complex schedule changes, along with the content movement and metadata demands implied by these, can but it also means freeing up people from mundane tasks such as ingest so that they can focus on more critical items that are directly connected to revenue. Billing Near real-time asrun information is not only a boon to sales, but also to billing. There’s more to it than that, though. Benefits run the gamut from simpler reconciliation to more accurate billing and fewer discrepancies. The most important thing to remember is that billing is downstream of almost every BXF-related workflow change you introduce within the organization. However, it’s easily overlooked. There can be great advantages to billing as a result of using BXF, but there can also be trickle-down effects that complicate things at this level. Conclusion This overview is by no means a comprehensive analysis of the potential impacts of BXF on a typical organization. The intent is to get you thinking about exactly how this technology may impact your operation — both in good and bad ways. The best way to get started is to consider an alternate meaning of the BXF acronym: Begin by examining flows. Remember, technologies such as BXF are great, and, if implemented thoughtfully with regard for their workflow impacts, they can be powerful. However, if simply put in place with a “let’s see how this works” attitude, your results may not be what you hoped for.

Be sure they’re up to the task. Ingest Increased automation in the areas of content metadata exchange and the transfer of content itself results in more automated and accurate ingest of material.
