Streamlined workflow
Keep up with demand through a streamlined workflow. Speed the handling and retrieval of video, graphics, scripts and research materials. Reduce human intervention for recording, labeling, storing, accessing and utilizing videos and other forms of content.

Increased productivity
Digital content technology enables fast access to indexed and targeted clips via a web-based browser, using standard keyword searches, so you can get more work done in less time.

Greater business value
Leverage your content and video assets into new revenue streams through reuse, repurpose and re-license.

Reduced risk
A digital content solution preserves your video assets and lets you migrate easily to new formats and new technology.

StorageTek and its broadcast partners recommend a three-phased implementation approach to minimize disruption to daily workflow. This approach lets you “go digital” in stages that make business sense.

Phase 1 (30-60 days):
Improve operational efficiency by implementing a digital content archive strategy

• Less pressure on broadcast video servers and editing stations.
• Better operational efficiency.
• Superior preservation of media assets.
• Easy search and retrieval of content.

Phase 2 (30 days or less*):
Protect your investments by converting analog videotapes to a digital content archive.

*It takes 30 days or less to install conversion workstations and software; full conversion depends on the number of hours to be digitally archived. Benefits of conversion include:

• Less manual intervention.
• Easy distribution of content on demand to any end-user format.
• Real-time encoding and transcoding.
• Minimized ingest time requirements.
• Seamless interchange between existing BVS units and non-linear editing systems.
  

Phase 3 (30 to 60 days):
Diversify and distribute the digital content archive.

• Easy distribution to multiple environments.
• Efficiencies gained through management software.
• Timely creation of new assets, channels, and revenue streams.
