Although your elements are under excellent management at Pacific Title Archives, we must be ever mindful that as time goes on, technology changes. Analog and even some digital formats are already obsolete. And even under ideal storage conditions, videotape will age and deteriorate over time. Bottom line; all recordings will suffer from aging and machine format obsolescence. Hence, the warning signs abound. The time to transfer your legacy videotape or audio assets is NOW. If you have the following formats, you need to migrate to newer media formats immediately:
2 “ quad
1 “ Type A
,B, C
1” IVC
1” Sony EV
3/4“ U-matic
1/2” open reel-to-reel
Panasonic MII
Other Formats to Consider:
D-1, 2, or 3
DCT
Betacam SP
Consumer formats: VHS, Betamax, 8MM Audio formats: PCM, DAT, DA-88
What Actions should you take at this time?
- Immediately review your assets with your Pacific Title Archives Representative
- Determine what videotape formats you currently have
- Prioritize “at risk” material for immediate transfer
- Establish a plan of monetizing your most valuable assets but also allow for all legacy material to be migrated before its too late
- Start a regular examination of your archived elements to stay abreast of the changing technology and to keep ahead of obsoleting technologies
In the course of the progressive multi-media development in the film, television and recording industries it has become more and more important to administrate and monetize multimedia contents, inclusive of film, tapes, recording files, pictures, audios and videos. The media asset management process at Pacific Title Archives is designed for us to work in conjunction with the client as a partner in the identification, management and preservation of their media assets for optimal utilization. Here at Pacific Title Archives, the target of the media asset management process is to facilitate an effective and efficient management of multimedia formats and to achieve an economic benefit and competitive advantages for our respective clients.
