Tell us about what you do?
I design, operate, maintain and develop the HD online systems for BBC Post Production and advise on HD post production related matters.
What can the eQ achieve and why should I use it for my HD projects?
The eQ is one of the most powerful HD online and finishing systems currently available. The uncompressed storage system works at many frame rates and resolutions and delivers an image quality of the highest possible standard.

We have a full range of facilities, including caption adding facilities, clean-up, restoration and FX tools. In addition we have an Avid HD Adrenaline finishing suite providing a high level of compatibility between our offline and HD online areas. Our facilities are interconnected for maximum flexibility and are constantly being developed to take full advantage of current and future HD post production requirements..
When working in HD what are the additional things that you need to take into consideration before post production?
The "HD" label is used to describe a huge range of format variations. It is vital that the delivery format is determined before any shooting begins. If in doubt, consult!
What HD projects have you been working on lately?
Recent HD post production projects that I have worked on include 'The Undertaker' for BBC Films, 'Love Soup', 'Last of the Summer Wine' and the 'Live 8' DVD.
HD predictions for the future?
A continued increase in demand for HD post production, once a viable HD delivery system becomes generally available.
