Data wrangling and DIT solutions (aka: Near Set DIT) to accommodate any project, no matter how challenging. Verified offloads to multiple destinations, using cryptographic hash verification methods to ensure data integrity. First light grade and transcodes to popular offline editing formats.

Also live client stream or live proxy transfer to post, audio conform to picture on set for transcodes prior to the edit.

What is a near set DIT?

​

The near set DIT is involved in the pre-production process in the same way as the on-set DIT. In both roles this it is important  to help design and implement a solid workflow that covers camera setup, data management and colour management.

​

The near set DIT is based, as the name suggests, near set. I am often  working from a van or truck, but also in studios. In comparison to an on-set DIT,I am not offering a  live grade capability, I work with the material after it has been recorded.

​

I manage a number of backups, apply any light colour grading and then create transcodes from the source material to an editorial format for delivery to post production.

​

With current technology i can provide a live client feed directly from camera to anywhere on earth with an internet connection and also provide live proxy files and backup safety to an editor.

​

Often a near set DIT is not accompanied by a lab, however this largely depends on the shooting format of the show. If an intensive shooting format is chosen, a lab would traditionally be brought in to manage some of the workload of the DIT. In this scenario, it would be worth weighing up the access to the locations in order to determine if an on-set DIT could be viable with the added benefits that the role offers.
