[AV Media Matters] SAMMA Demonstration at AMIA 2003
SAMMA Prototype Demonstration at AMIA 2003
Jim Lindner and the staff of Media Matters invite you to the first
public demonstration of SAMMA, the System for the Automated Migration of
Media Archives, at next week?s AMIA conference in Vancouver.
Over two years in development, SAMMA is the first system designed for
the automated preservation and migration of large audiovisual
collections. SAMMA represents a major paradigm shift in the process of
preserving and migrating AV media: SAMMA?s mobile, custom-configured
unit transforms an archive site into a sophisticated preservation
factory by increasing productivity and reducing costs while maintaining
a level of quality never before possible.
Given the multitude of audiovisual recordings in jeopardy, current
preservation and migration methods are inadequate. SAMMA was developed
as the solution to this preservation problem, combining Jim Lindner?s
expertise in the field of media preservation and restoration with the
expertise of designers and engineers in the US and Europe.
Media Matters will demonstrate SAMMA?s primary features:
* Automation: The full SAMMA processing cycle, from beginning to end.
* Quality Control: Signal analysis for metadata and exception handling.
* Productivity: Multiple, simultaneous streams in a single unit, running
24/7.
* Metrics: Unprecedented levels of consistent metrics on the single tape
and across the archive.
* Access: Tape-to-multiple-tape or tape-to-multiple-file options for
your end-users.
* Preservation: Breakthrough lossless preservation file format for
archives.
Demonstrations of the SAMMA system will be held during the entire week
of the AMIA conference in the Cortes Island room, located on the
Discovery Floor of the Hotel Fairmont Vancouver.
