Abstract: Although there is great excitement over the promise of desktop video systems replacing traditional production equipment, the reality of the situation is that for many applications, expensive, dedicated traditional equipment is still required to do the job. Although desktop systems are used for off-line editing applications, they have not replaced traditional on-line, or edit bay, production tools which are expensive, but capable. Until the day where technology advances to allow more inexpensive, versatile systems, how can desktop systems be used to complement traditional production tools today? Desktop systems can provide services lacking in dedicated equipment, add convenient utilities to equipment in edit bays, and supplement expensive capital investments in equipment by off loading tasks to increase system throughput. Desktop systems can provide: network connectivity for systems with limited networking abilities; broadcast video solutions for systems with limited display capabilities; data interchange and conversion between tape, disk, video and network interfaces; supplemental workstations for expanding an existing system's bandwidth; tools for touch up and matting; the importing or exporting of graphics. The focus of this paper is to show how, with specific examples, desktop systems can supplement traditional production tools, increasing the cost effectiveness and efficiency of these tools.
