There is a downloadable pdf file of these slides at the HPA Site.

You can also see and hear Mark giving a very similar presentation to the Toronto SMPTE section in December: Arias and Acquisition – a two-part evening with Mark Schubin.

If you are an EDCF member, you can pull a copy of the Alternative Content Guide in pdf format from the members section. This is the link for the EDCF Site. 

As well as being a television engineer and historian, Mark has a number of well regarded writings available on the internet. The Schubin Chronicles were written observations from a perspective of a New Yorker after the towers fell in November of 2001. You can see his IMDB.com listing here. There is a 2005 HDTV Magazine Interview that holds up real well.

A number of decades ago your author was privileged to work in a studio with a trés drôle and class act recording producer named John Boylan. As people are wont to do, he had stolen the front receptionists desk to take a phone call, and there he doodled a ToDo List:

• Go to Studio
• Make Hit Record
• Go Home for Lunch
• Noodle the ol’ lady
• Go back to studio 
• Make another hit record
• Repeat and Fade

 Mark Schbin, equally clever, generous and a class act, shared his ToDo list from one of his weeks during an opera:

• 16 transponders on 13 satellites as well as three transoceanic fiber cables
• multiple motion-compensating HD frame-rate converters
• one-hour HD delays to compensate for the different starts of Summer Time in North America and Europe
• 14 HD cameras and 30 recorders
• five robotic mounts, including two extendable towers and a track, all of which had to be deployed in minutes
• a 600-foot live, backwards Steadicam move (ending at a live burro)
• shooting multicamera live in the control room itself (one intermission was shot live in five different venues)
• live subtitling in multiple languages
• stereo, 5.1, and LT/RT sound, discrete and encoded
• coordinating live commercial U.S. radio, non-commercial U.S. radio, global  radio, and the HD cinemacasts, all of which sometimes share and sometimes use different production elements
• coordinating the parking of production vehicles on three Manhattan blocks with the fire department, the police, and local security
• Wheeee!

And, as Mark always seems to close, TTFN
