About the Event
The paper will present an overview of current technologies used in media archiving with a focus on legacy audio formats. It will describe technologies that allow for high-throughput, parallel ingest and with real-time quality analysis of carrier and baseband essence. As ingest activities move to file-based entities, Rob will discuss automated solutions for processing audio streams and audio within multi-media file formats. The paper will explore approaches for completely automated quality supervision as well as post-ingest activities for processing essence and metadata of audio-visual files that include; transcoding, wrapping, metadata transforming and more.
Workflow case-studies explored include QC workflows for National Archives Records and Administration, creating proxy files for the Library of Congress at the National Audio Visual Conservation Centre, QC for DAT tapes at CBC Toronto and automated workflows for film audio for Chace by Deluxe in Burbank.
