Transitioning to File-Based Electronic Media Storage
Traditional television programming has historically been produced and aired via videotape. Most video programming worldwide is still archived on videotape. With the advent of computer based video servers, television organizations are beginning to transition from videotape based archives to file-based electronic media storage. The purpose of this paper is to explore the advantages of treating video segments as data files along with the technical and operational challenges presented by the change. The paper includes a detailed discussion on the integration of networked video servers with associated disk storage and tape-based data archives.
