Industry Leadership
‘Deadline 2025’ makes the case (as Bill does) that the ability to successfully replay magnetic tapes depends on the interplay of equipment, skills and technologies. This once healthy ecosystem is collapsing due to the removal of tape from the marketplace as broadcasters have shifted to file-based workflows. Analogue video and audiotape, as well as early digital tape formats, will be effectively inaccessible due to the practical inability to maintain playback systems. The last generation of fully experienced analogue-to-digital-transfer broadcast engineers will be retired. Their practical technical skills will either have been strategically shared with the newer generations of digital engineers or lost forever.[1]
“While government bodies like NFSA attempt to bring us closer to a digital utopia where Australia’s audiovisual history is available, the focus for Archives Australia is to convert, manage and preserve company-archived marketing, brand and advertising history of all video tape formats - from broadcast 1" inch video tape, 35, 16 and 8mm films to film negative and slide formats, and magnetic tape formats."[2]
“Archives Australia not only digitise the content but also captures important associated metadata that relates to each digitised audio-visual asset. A spreadsheet or database that contains relevant fields of data such as date, subject, title duration, asset condition and other relevant information that may be needed to make files easily searchable in the future,” said Bill.
