Impressions of the AMIA 2025
Some impressions from the AMIA conference in Baltimore, Maryland, from Cube-Tec's perspective.
More than 550 professionals from many countries around the world were in attendance. In addition to interesting presentations, there were also workshops, screenings, and more than 60 sessions programmed by working archivists to address the best ways to preserve and provide access to their media.
We thank everyone who took the opportunity to talk to the Cube-Tec team in person and watched the live presentation of Tom Lorenz (Managing Partner, Cube-Tec) on Friday.
The topic of the presentation was "Migration of 550,000 hours of Videotapes for National Library Norway".
You can read more about Cube-Tec's work at the National Library of Norway in our corresponding article.
Following is a summary of the presentation held by Tom Lorenz:
Migration of 550,000 hours of Videotapes for National Library Norway
Around 550,000 hours of program material on video cassettes are stored in the Norwegian National Library's long-term digital archive. These recordings are part of the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation's legally required recordings. In order to protect these unique broadcasting archives in the long term, these video cassettes must be transferred to archive files that are stored in the Norwegian National Library's long-term digital archive.
Thanks to the quality-controlled QUADRIGA•Video, the migration project has now been successfully in productive use for two years. An additional QC workflow was adapted in accordance with the specifications of the tender. The entire ingest system works with 16 broadcast video recorders and can migrate up to 90 hours of video per day in a fully quality-controlled operation.
