LIBRARY/ARCHIVAL STORAGE OF DIGITAL VIDEO ASSETS

Published: Oct. 3, 2006, 10 p.m.

In 2005 KET completed a $600,000 multi-year Digital Archive project culminating in the digital ingestion of 6500 programs from 3/4-inch and 1-inch tape. Plans are being made to carry the process forward to archive material created since the early 1990's on beta tape. Current productions have been captured digitally as they air since September 2005. Mr. Stackhouse will describe the various systems used in the initial archiving project and subsequent improvements and upgrades to the systems to deal with current projects. He will speak to the integration of traffic systems (ProTrack) and automation products (nVersion) with web-based databases (MS SQL) to manage digital asset storage, archive/backups and web delivery of streaming media and podcasts.
