Cube-Tec @ AMIA 2025

Cube-Tec will be at the AMIA conference again this year.
This time Tom Lorenz (Managing Partner, Cube-Tec) will give a presentation again on Friday, December 5th at 5:00pm (EST).

The topic will be "Migration of 550,000 hours of Videotapes for National Library Norway".
Following is a summary of what you can expect from this presentation:

The Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation has recorded approximately 550,000 hours of broadcast material on video cassettes as part of legal deposit efforts. To preserve these assets, the material is being digitized and archived in the National Library of Norway's digital long-term archive using Cube-Tec's QUADRIGA•Video system. The system includes 16 broadcast video tape recorders and a customized quality control workflow. This setup allows a single operator to transfer approximately 100 hours of video per shift, ensuring efficient and quality-controlled digitization. For the DVCAM collection, a direct readout feature enables real-time monitoring and archiving of digital video streams directly from the original tapes. This approach enhances error detection and allows for future error correction using proprietary algorithms, ensuring the longevity and integrity of the archived material. Since the beginning of 2024 the system has been in productive use, safeguarding decades of unique broadcast history. This session presents a scalable model for large-volume digitization, offering practical insights for both seasoned practitioners and newcomers interested in high-capacity audiovisual preservation workflows.
