Congratulations! The job is done - finalizing the 10-year ORF Video Migration project

In a joint effort, the entire video archive of the Austrian public service broadcaster ORF, comprising over 600,000 video cassettes, was transferred to the file-based broadcasting world. Since the cassettes were shredded after the transfer, a particularly high level of quality assurance had to be achieved. Cube-Tec took on the service provider-independent quality control for ORF in this 10-year project. Now the shelves of the large video storage facility are completely empty.

That's only possible if the QC is 200% perfect!”
        “Reliable quality control is the archivist's peace of mind.” - Christoph Bauer, Senior Expert in Research and Development, Österreichischer Rundfunk, Austria
