AmberFin, a leading developer of file-based media ingest and transcoding solutions for content owners, broadcasters, sports organisations and post-production houses, reports that its free, non-vendor specific, educational programme that is delivered to your email in-box, has exceeded all forecasts in terms of the number of subscribers it has drawn in the first month since its launch at IBC 2011.

AmberFin has received many hundreds of registrations for Bruce’s Shorts, including large numbers from North America, Japan and Australia as well as from across Europe. There is increasing evidence that the initiative is going viral with multiple subscriptions being received from the same organisations. The range of organisations represented is diverse, including major broadcasters and studios, as well as consultants and systems integrators worldwide.

Bruce's Shorts, presented by AmberFin’s CTO Bruce Devlin, consists of series of weekly video shorts and monthly in-depth webinars covering a broad range of industry topics including "What is the best way to ingest 40,000 hours of tape?"

The first webinar will be available for viewing on 25 October and will provide a beginner's guide to file-based workflows.

“We are very pleased with the initial response to the launch of Bruce’s Shorts – it appears to strike a chord with many people in our industry,” commented Devlin. “Although we have kicked off the series, there is no deadline for signing up to Bruce’s Shorts. This is not some dry old academic theory – what we provide is real industry insider knowledge, which is so much more valuable. The fact that it’s available free of charge makes it even more of a no-brainer.”
