The day when HD is everywhere is rapidly approaching. We would all do well to get a reality check. Have you given any though to your content development as it applies to HD? Will you be able to use your existing content when your production upgrades its existing equipment? Are you thinking ahead and getting all new content created at the higher resolutions suitable for HD? Or are you putting it off into the fuzzy distant future, telling yourself that you’ll do it when you have to? If you aren’t taking steps right now to prepare yourself for that changeover, you may not be able to make the changes when you need to. Don’t wait until you’re on site to repair the problems when you’re faced with the challenge of displaying your content on HD equipment. Do yourself a favor. Think about it now, and you won’t be kicking yourself when the time comes.
