Abstract: In past years, broadcasters adopted file-based workflows to enable faster-than-realtime and concurrent media processing, thereby improving production efficiency. This introduction turned out to be highly challenging, in particular with respect to the integration of different file-based islands into an optimized end-to-end workflow. Now that most issues are solved, time is ripe to assess the accomplishments of current implementations and identify the key future challenges. From a distant perspective, the main promises of working file-based seem to be fulfilled, but taking a closer look reveals that the majority of the implemented workflows are still very linear. System integrations could be taken to a higher level, especially concerning metadata, multiple-level format exchangeability, and truly collaborative production workflows. In addition, recent trends such as the consumerization of media production require adapted or novel workflows to handle the proliferation of formats and to provide a less strict, collaborative way of working.

bio
Matthias De Geyter obtained an MSc in electronics engineering at the University of Ghent in 2001, after which he joined the image processing research group (IPI) of this university. In 2004, he started at VRT's R&D department (later transformed into VRT-medialab), where he performed research on media adaptation and semantic web technologies and more recently on media exchange formats such as MXF and AAF and their use in system integration. Some of his other interests include HDTV formats, quality control, and 3DTV. Since 2001, De Geyter has co-authored several papers for international conferences.

bio
Luk Overmeire obtained an MSc in electronics engineering at the University of Ghent, Belgium. Before joining VRT, he was a research engineer in Alcatel Bell, working on software-based services and ADSL digital filter design, respectively. In 2002, he joined VRT's R&D department (later transformed into VRT-medialab) where he first performed research in the signal processing area such as metadata-based video encoding and rate control. He presently leads the competence group focusing on media production and audio-visual content processing. He is an active member of several EBU working groups, AMWA and SMPTE. Since 1996, Overmeire has been involved in patent applications and co-authored several papers for international conferences.
