Today, Avid hosted a product promotion event at the iconic San Siro football Stadium in Milan.
The video industry is transitioning from tape to hard disc storage, exemplified by the Panasonic P2 camcorder. It features five slots for memory cards utilizing CompactFlash technology and compliant with PCMCIA standards. A notable advantage is the reduced mechanical components and faster content transfer to editing software.
Nonetheless, these memory cards currently hold only 4 gigabytes (GB), accommodating just a few minutes of footage per card. In my view, once these cards reach terabyte capacities (10^12 bytes, as opposed to current gigabyte capacities of 10^9 bytes), we can fully embrace them and relegate tapes to history.
