Besides grappling with growing volumes of data, content owners face the risk of losing content stored in near-obsolete legacy formats. Retrieval of tape footage is laborious, and with video tape recorders being phased out, demand for alternatives is increasing.
“Broadcasters and content owners can gain huge benefits by moving their broadcast libraries from analogue to digital systems. Archiving of video is now a key component in the production process and one that broadcasters cannot ignore, or risk losing audiovisual history and what is essentially their core business asset. Through Panasonic solutions and our partners, content owners now have a fast and space-saving solution to manage their tape-based data at minimal cost,” said Supachai Chanyasawad, Head of Product Marketing, Imaging Network Business Division, Panasonic System Solutions Asia Pacific.
The Panasonic video archiving services enable large volumes of digital data and archived footage to be stored, with indexing for improved retrieval. It supports all P2 codecs up to AVC-Intra200 for file-based footage, and optionally handles AVCHD, XDCAM and ProRes files. Video ingestion software supports tape-based data where a variety of HD/SD codecs enable file conversion ranging from AVC-Intra200 to DVCPRO.
The system supports up to two Linear-Tape Open (LTO) drives. Six times faster than a PRO DISK, a single LTO6 has a capacity of 2.5TB, equivalent to 140 60-minute tapes of SD data (at a data transfer speed of 1,280 Mbps).
To give content owners better access to the data archiving service, Panasonic has selected two integrated production companies and is working with them to offer the video archiving solution services to companies in Asia Pacific.

"Broadcasters face many challenges in archiving their data,” says Lawrence Ang, Head of Operations, Infinite Studios. “Panasonic selected Singapore-based Infinite Studios due to the strong IP-protection ranking that Singapore has in the region, and also due to our commitment in providing our customers with reliable, safe and cost-effective broadcast services."
Says Thongchai Liewluck, Chief Executive Officer, Goldenduck, “Goldenduck is happy to work with Panasonic to bring this LTO Data Archiving Service to our customers because of Panasonic’s proven ability to store and manage their growing repository of digital assets. With LTO data archiving essentially the start and finish to every production workflow, this cements our position in the industry as a provider of innovative turn-key broadcast solutions, both in video and audio production.”
