Front Porch Digital has announced that South African free-to-air broadcaster e.tv has purchased a DIVArchive® CSM system for its Cape Town facility.
Converting the asset library from analog to digital, DIVArchive will create and centralise a digital archive for e.tv and its parent, Sabido Group.
"In an industry where content is king, an efficient and stable archiving system is crucial for the conservation, preservation, and, ultimately, commercial exploitation of content. It became an imperative for us this year when we launched our multichannel business," said Nohra Moerat, general manager of group libraries and archives at e.tv.
"DIVArchive is a system with a proven track record and a strong reputation, and offers efficiencies that will allow us to archive and retrieve in a more organized way — which means we'll be able to browse and choose footage selectively, save on storage, and monetise our clips more effectively."
Currently e.tv has to rely on transfer editors to view tapes and find appropriate clips.
The company has begun digitising its content and storing it on LTO datatape. DIVArchive will enable e.tv to archive all legacy content, including legacy archives, raw footage, clips, stills, and supporting documents.
Front Porch Digital is working with its local agent, Jasco Broadcast Solutions, to deliver an end-to-end system.
"e.tv is one of the premier broadcasters in South Africa and an important customer for us on the continent, and we're happy to be a part of its evolution to digital operations and multichannel service," said Rino Petricola, senior vice president and general manager at Front Porch Digital.
"Adding a DIVArchive system to its workflow will give e.tv more convenient and rapid access to its archived material, which will help feed a revenue stream and enhance its programming."
