Firmen Hintergrund
The German based medium-sized company has been known for its outstanding mastering, restoration and archive solutions in the audio domain for more than 15 years now.
The company came into being as part of the restructuring of Houpert Digital Audio (HDA) which was founded in 1990 and developed the AudioCube digital audio workstation, known for its ultra-high quality mastering and restoration technology. At the same time, the ARD (German Public Service Broadcasting Network) and the European Broadcast Union research groups were looking for solutions to ensure the quality of the final transfer from single sound carriers to mass-storage devices.
This project was coordinated by the Institut für Rundfunktechnik (IRT, Broadcast Technology Institute).
Their cooperation with HDA enabled them to specify the feature set for a special archive ingest workstation. HDA is also known for its QUADRIGA - the first dedicated quality-controlled audio mass-digitization workstation developed in 1998.
