Croatian public broadcaster HRT (Hrvatska radiotelevizija) is digitizing its entire video archive with the help of archiving specialists NOA. Following the past installation of MediARC at HRT’s radio unit, NOA has delivered a complete jobDB Core Video archive management system to the broadcaster’s video department in Zagreb. The suite comprises the FrameLector ingest software, JobDB workflow management system, MediaButler transcoding processor, Barcodestation custom script creation tool, Universal Dialoguer scanner and the QualityChecker post-ingest digital content analyzer.
Available as independent products, NOA now offers this package, which packs these six products into one solution. Known as jobDB Core, the entry-level bundle provides users with all features available with each individual product including four channels. This version can be easily scaled up to 32+ ingest channels thanks to its scalable true client-server design. NOA’s managing partner Jean-Christophe Kummer explains that this approach lets organizations gradually ease into digitization, while simplifying the process by investing in one simple package.
Operating several radio and television channels over a domestic transmitter network as well as satellite, HRT became a client of NOA in 2003, when it began digitizing its radio archive.
This time around, with the media house focusing on preserving its video content, Kummer says the continuation is a natural progression to protect the broadcaster’s valuable audiovisual content.
NOA has been actively enhancing the archiving activities of many institutions in the region for almost two decades. Beginning with radio-oriented projects in Slovenia, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary and Slovakia, the company’s scope has expanded to encompass video archiving initiatives.
