ABSTRACT
The advances in digital technologies have transformed the broadcasting industry dramatically. Traditional analogue techniques are gradually being replaced with digital systems in almost every aspect of a broadcasting environment. Only a few decades ago all audiovisual (AV) content was analogue and Edit Decision Lists (EDLs) were nearly the only digital content produced.1 2, AV raw material has been stored on analogue tapes, and information pertaining to its content kept separately, often in a non-digital form.
