Abstract: 

VTR obsolescence dramatically shrinks the remaining time span for migrating video tapes to preservation master files. Newly developed factory methods promise a solution to achieve large throughput with an improved quality control of the transfer process. By exploiting economies of scale effects the efficiency of the migration team can be improved clearly. To secure an improved overall transfer quality and to detect and prevent transfer errors the VTR condition is a highly critical component in the tool chain which requires an improved surveillance. The paper describes research results and feedback from pilot installations.
