Question 25.

Which content stays on-line - in a robot - and which one is stored in a shelf ?

• Back to the MMC Digital Archives Survey Home Page

ANTENA 3

• Accurate actuality and archive selection in near-line, rotating this selection

BBC

• We don't have a robot yet
• We have had a pilot with MPEG 1 on a server, and broadcast quality M-JPEG on a robot, and nothing on the shelf
• We've also had a pilot with MPEG 2 on a server, in low and high datarates (4 Mb/s and 30 Mb/s), and the higher rate MPEG 2 would migrate to datatapes on a robot or on shelves

BNT

• Still discussed

CBC - BARBADOS

CBC / SRC

• We dot not use robots as of yet.

CBS NEWS

CPRDP - PUERTO RICO

• On-line access for internet users in low resolution as well as High resolution copies via intranet for the editing suites and the Documentation Dept.

CT - CZECH TELEVISION

· No on-line technology is used in archive yet

DR - DANMARKS RADIO

• Hopefully we just need the shelves for our old material in the legacy archive. The new content will be stored first on servers and later on data tapes in a robot.

DUNA TELEVISION

• News, sport in robot. Magazines on a shelf

ERTT

• News content will be on line for ready operation by journalists.

ETB

• The news material should be on-line. Other programs and adquisitions would be stored in a shelf.

GLOBO TV

• In principle, we aim to archive all of our catalogues to data tape, and keep all of this data tapes on line within a robot. We wish to use an IT industry type of data tape format, so that it is not tremendously expensive to invest in such tape and robotics.

INA

• Mpeg 1 files are stored on hard discs for immediate on line access
• Mpeg 2 files are stored on DTF 2 in a Petasite robot. A copy of these are also stored on shelves

KBS

• We plan to keep approximately 100K hours of current and widely used content online/nearline and the rest of the contents on a shelf.

NAA

• Our first selection related to marketing necesssity

NBC

• Virtually all materials will be moved from on-line instant access (1-5 days), selected materials will move to 30 day intermediate / slower access and, thereafter, all materials will be moved to robotic / digital-tape storage (slowest). Certain exceptions will be made for some "evergreen" material-including obits, show opens/closes, etc.

NHK

• Sorry, I can't understand the question

ORF

• Not decided yet (digital newsroom : no robot, material either online and/or offline in full resolution)

RAI

RTBF

• Not decided

RTSI

• All new production will stay in a robot.

SCREENSOUND AUSTRALIA

• The smaller browsing copies of Audio, still images, text/documents and video are held on-line on hard-disc. Larger distribution copies will be held near-line on robotic tape. Duplicate or backup tapes for disaster-recovery will be kept offline

SF DRS

• Daily news and sport-production, relevant parts of the archive (as news rushes), EVN and news-programs of 1 (?) month : High Resolution copies on server
• Other relevant parts of the archive : robot
• Probably part of the archive (film footage) will still stay in shelves for a long time

SVT

• News is on-line
• The rest are on shelfs so far

SWR

• As it will be a step by step digitization process, most of the materials will still be stored on shelf for the long-term. Online storage is intended to be used for materials of current content value (like news) and a high re-use rate. According to a strategy to digitize on-demand, too, more and more materials will be available both online and on shelves.

TROS

• Actuality programs have high priority for on-line storage.

TRT

• It will be sorted by a committee depending on the rights business and level of usage by the other pople .

TV4 - SWEDEN

• Depends on the users, e.g. news dep.

TV CATALUNYA

• It will depend on the future use of the material

TVM - TELEVISION DE MAURITANIE

YLE

• This is dependable on the frequency of the use of the material. Rarely used material of course on the shelf.
