The tender suggests that the job is not just about technology as culture change will need to be undertaken to move ABC personnel on from a mindset that views content as something stored on tapes to assets stored in digital media.
“The implications of content digitalisation for capture, ingest, access and browse, edit, production, post-production and play-out are significant not only in terms of how audio visual content is captured, but also in terms of how these files are moved around the ABC,” the tender says.
The tender therefore says the broadcaster needs “ … a comprehensive set of recommendations that will be used to drive and implement a Program of Works (comprising of multiple projects and activities) that will provide end-to-end digital file based work-flows across the ABC.”
