Abstract: 

How to perform a large-scale video tape migration project – the decision points.

Designing the complete workflow for a migration workgroup is a challenging task. The tutorial will give an insight in important aspects of a large-scale digitization process designed for an archival workgroup.

The design of a quality-controlled transfer from the video tape to the digital storage system raises a wide range of best practice questions that will be brought to the table during the tutorial.

The topics include, tape condition analysis, tape cleaning, calibration, multi machine setup, user interface, audiovisual control, preservation file formats, database integration, quality supervision, reporting and process automation.

The audience will gain a better understanding for how multiple aspects work in the chain to get the best possible result in the migration process in an efficient way.
