February 2011: expansion
Just making an outline for others wishing to help expand the article stub: Thanks for any additions to this list & contributions to the article. &mdash; DennisDallas (talk) 15:33, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
 * History & "first use" of the term/acronym with source. Focus Enhancements uses it the most, it appears (photos of FS-100 show DTE ® Technology). Panasonic P2 system may have been the origin of the workflow concept.
 * Description of NLE workflow that led to the technology.
 * Major video company players & equipment models extant:
 * Panasonic [P2 system]
 * Sony [HVR-MRC1, MRU, etc.]
 * Focus Enhancements [Firestore FS-series]
 * Aja [KiPro, KiPro Mini]
 * Advantages over tape:
 * Non-linear files rather than "real-time" tapes.
 * Editors & data-jockeys/camera assistants can work quicker.
 * Disadvantages/drawbacks:
 * File-transfer bottlenecks due to FireWire & computer bus speeds:
 * IEEE 1394 (FW-400/i.Link) vs. IEEE 1394b (FW-800)
 * Although "non-linear", still "takes time" due to large filesizes.
 * Future of industry direction:
 * No "crystal balling", rather current white-papers & future-product announcements/prototypes.
 * E.G.: Fibre-optic interfaces for increased speed/thru-put on the horizon? Chip-speed limitations?
 * Visuals:
 * Typical small form-factor model & storage card/module.
 * Typical on-camera Velcro "kludge" and/or hot-shoe mount.
 * Need free-use WP:CC-BY-SA materials.
 * Possible workflow diagram?
