The MediaPreserve ordered 16 quality-controlled QUADRIGAVideo ingest lines. This follow-up investment is step two after 6 months working successfully with 8 ingest lines of QUADRIGAVideo under tough operating conditions. The system setup is used to transfer huge collections of Betacam SP cassettes for different major broadcasting organizations ...and the next expansion stage is already in planning. For more background we just released an in depth interview with the team from The MediaPreserve.

Heath Condiotte – Production Manager at The MediaPreserve:

We need tools that we can trust. We know that the QUADRIGA system is the ‘Gold Standard’ within the archival community. So, it gives both us and our clients confidence knowing that those are the tools being used at The MediaPreserve."

Tim Carranza – Head of Video Engineering at The MediaPreserve:

The support from the manufacturer has been great. We had nothing but success with them. It's easy to get a hold of, and they adapt to our demands very easily and quickly."
