 Synergy Broadcast developed an
automated encoding application to assist users with a cost-effective
method to convert thousands of hours of analog programming into
archived digital video files. Key elements in this solution
include Synergy Broadcast's:
In a playback system tapes can be broadcast and
encoded simultaneously. This feature will save thousands of
dollars in labor and man-hours.
In a production environment the system can be set
up to run 24/7 and only needs intervention to add videotapes to the
robot. Once encoded, files can be transferred automatically to
a server or near-line archive unit such as the
Synergy Broadcast
DAU.
The benefits of Synergy Broadcast's Automated
Encoding Solution include:
- Reduced
manpower requirements with the use of tape robotics to create a
production environment for the encoding process.
- Significant
time savings since the robots can be loaded to work nights and
weekends without an operator present. This can reduce the entire
conversion process by years.
-
Software
control of decks and encoders ensures that the process will
capture each video file based on time codes in the database thus
reducing the need for extensive editing.
- Software
control of multiple encoders means that programs can be
simultaneously encoded in several formats thus saving time and
manpower.
- The searchable
database and web based interface makes it easier to identify and
locate video programming.
