What are digital dailies? Digital dailies can be delivered in many formats. Streaming HD MPEG-2 at high data rates via fiber networks or SD MPEG-4 file based data delivered via IP protocol in Windows Media or QuickTime formats. Or PRO-HD D-VHS, which plays 2.5 hours of HD MPEG-2 content by simply pushing the play button on a familiar looking VCR, in your office, conference room or screening room.

Dailies are the process in which all involved in the movie making process review the day's film production for a variety of quality control issues including content, color and composition.

The predominant way to do this is to process the film footage, then produce multiple prints of the film and use a traditional projector (operated by a projectionist) to review the dailies. This is a costly undertaking, particularly on location shoots, where a specially equipped trailer is often required to house the necessary equipment.

JVC's high definition delivery system is completely portable, allowing playback capabilities in virtually any surroundings. Producers can quickly set up the dailies screening process in hotel rooms, conference rooms, director's trailers or studio executive desktop solutions that provide film like playback quality. What's more, because JVC's PRO-HD original recordings utilize scrambled and password-protected modes, it's ideal for ensuring that only the proper eyes see dailies.
