BBC - BBC R&D, the BBC Archive and digital public space: an overview of our work on the archive The BBC has about a million hours of video and audio content, plus a wealth of documents, including the original scripts. Most of this content is still on magnetic tape, film, records or paper and so needs to be digitised and made searchable before it can be contributed to the Digital Public Space which was the subject of a recent technology podcast<http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/blog/audio/2011/sep/28/tech-weekly-digital-public-space-audio>from the Guardian. BBC R&D has a long track record of developing innovative technology for the BBC’s archives, including the Ingex digitisation process for D3 videotape [BBC R&D White Paper WHP 155<http://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/publications/whitepaper155.shtml>], and Reverse Standards Conversion, which reverse engineers the processes applied by pioneering standards converters of the 1960's to programmes of that era provided to broadcasters abroad and lost from our own archives http://bbc.in/r34XwG Source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/researchanddevelopment/2011/10/bbc-archive-and-digital-public-space.shtml See if people are clicking on this link: http://bbc.in/r34XwG+ Try the bitly.com sidebar to see who is talking about a page on the web: http://bitly.com/pages/sidebar -- Peter Kurilecz CRM CA [log in to unmask] Richmond, Va http://twitter.com/RAINbyte http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/RAINbyte/ http://paper.li/RAINbyte/rainbyte Information not relevant for my reply has been deleted to reduce the electronic footprint and to save the sanity of digest subscribers List archives at http://lists.ufl.edu/archives/recmgmt-l.html Contact [log in to unmask] for assistance To unsubscribe from this list, click the below link.
