Video Compilations
In addition to ESO's online HD video archive, ESO Video Compilations feature stock footage on some of ESO´s facilities and projects. These collections/tapes are thought to provide a sound visual basis for any broadcaster or producer who wishes to do a documentary on ESO. The ESO video archive features sequences on many subjects associated with ESO.
Standard Definition (SD) and High Definition (HD) Formats
These formats are sometimes split up into smaller files for easier download. Nevertheless, those are massive files, each having up to 1000 Megabytes and are therefore intended for TV broadcasters only. Please note that the material has been edited and encoded to the needs of broadcasters.
