Cube-Tec Research Project In IBC 2014 Future Zone
The DAVID project is all about research of new technologies for media organisations in the areas of damage avoidance, identification and correction. For this, current processes and media workflows are analysed, and new software tools are created. The English research partner IT-Innovation brings its long-term experience in the fields of quality assurance and risk-assessment in file-based workflows. From these, cost/benefit models can be created, to find the best balance of risk of media loss, final content quality and total cost of ownership.
Project partner Joanneum Research shows their specialised QC tool VidiCert. VidiCert serves for semi-automatic assessment of errors that are detected directly by analysing the video content on a baseband level. New algorithms for optimised detection of Digital Betacam Drop-Out errors are first shown at IBC. Project partner HS-Art showcases the newly created Advanced Field Correction module of the DIAMANT Film Restoration Suite. With this module Field Dominance errors can be detected directly from the baseband video stream.
Project partner Cube-Tec presents its MXF Legalizer in a client specific adaption for the large-scale repair of damaged MXF files of the Austrian Public Broadcasting (ORF), as well as new methods to automate workflow process decisions. Project partners HS-Art and Cube-Tec are responsible for implementing research results into new products. Cube-Tec already integrates the showcased methods into its CubeWorkflow Framework. The acronym DAVID stands for Digital AV Media Damage Prevention and Repair. Public project results and further relevant facts are bundled on the project website:
