Broadcast/Pro Video Graphics & Effects Software Report

Economic software that can accommodate HD and offer interoperability and workgroup capabilities are another consideration. Streamlined integration is essential in graphics/effects creation, as is the speed at which images, sounds and graphics can be imported. Data or visuals should not have to be recreated in the HD finishing step. HDV is becoming more viable as an economical way to create high-def products. Graphics/effects artists will also demand software that can accommodate HDV in 720p and 1080i. The manufacturer that provides products that can provide all of these features will be best suited to leading the marketplace in the future.

This is just part of the findings from SCRI's Broadcast/Pro Video Graphics & Effects Software Report . The full SCRI report provides quantitative data, based on extensive annual primary research surveys (since 1984) of broadcast and pro video facilities in each of the following end-user vertical markets: broadcast television stations, cable television stations, post production facilities (video and film), video production and multimedia facilities, corporate and institutional video facilities (government, educational, medical).

Quantitative data tables for 2006, 2007 & 2008 show total number of end-user facilities, total number and percentage purchasing by year , total dollars spent purchasing, total units purchased, average number of units purchased per end-user facility, and average price per unit. This data is displayed for each of the six vertical end-user markets as well as for the total across the board broadcast / pro video marketplace.

In addition, charts and tables show total units by format, by price range and by market share of the leading brands.

The approximately 10 page report commences with a detailed written report of the total category as well as of each individual vertical end-user market, bringing the quantitative data tables and charts to life with insightful analysis and forecasts. The written alaysis is followed by the quantitative data tables and charts.
