In order to make it easier to locate an item of interest the 'News' section is segmented into three categories each of which deals with a particular aspect of the use of digital video or media technology, and its impact from a professional or societial point of view. You can link to any category from the left menu on any News page.

Digital Video Technology (DVT) highlights new technological developments or uses of such from a professional or semi-professional perspective.

Topics could include new releases of hardware such as camcorders, new digital formats and communications technologies or of software such as editing, compositing or effects applictions etc. The focus is on the actual technologies rather than their application or societal impact.

Media & Society (M&S) deals with the impact of media developments on society and other related topics that may be of general interest to media producers.

Examples can include the use of video streaming by news organisations, the growth of the iPod and its potential impact for video producers or personalities and political decisions that effect media communications. In fact the range of topics is potentially vast, but generally will focus on areas that might be of interest to media producers.

Media & Technology (M&T) focuses on the use and application of media technologies by individuals, companies or media organisations.

This category could include the use and deployment of Non-Linear Editing (NLE) systems within a broadcast organisation; the application of satellite or broadband technologies for news reporters; the use of mobile phones to stream video to viewers or the use of high-definition equipment for particular programming requirements. Again the range of topics is large, but the emphasis in on the application of the technologies rather than the technologies themselves, which is covered under the DVT category.
