Abstract: A solution for providing content synchronized with a production is provided. The solution obtains a plurality of possible start times for the production, the plurality of possible start times being based upon at least one of: a length of the production or a broadcast schedule policy; and repeatedly initiates a content stream to coincide with each of the possible start times without regard to an actual start time for the production.

Abstract: A system for transferring electronic image data to film which provides correlation or matching between an image as viewed on a video monitor and an image viewed on film. Apparatus is disclosed for measuring image intensity on a video monitor and converting the measured intensity to electronic signals. The image intensity on film under controlled lighting is measured and signals representative of film density provided. The signals obtained by the two measurements are compared and any difference is used to vary a film writing system in a manner to minimize the difference.
