QUADRIGA•Video at the Digitisation Centre of Western Australia - the Interview
The Digitisation Centre of Western Australia has been using QUADRIGA•Audio for quite a long time and has recently acquired QUADRIGA•Video for the digitisation of their video collections.
We held a short interview with Farah Kabbani, who is a coordinator at the Digitisation Centre about her experiences with QUADRIGA and the Cube-Tec team.
You can read the exchange below. We do hope you will enjoy it!
Why did you decide to acquire QUADRIGA•Video?
I was not involved in the procurement stage but I imagine the experience with the existing Quadriga•Audio setup played a role, alongside the fact that Quadriga•Video offered all the functionality we required to set up a Video digitisation station at our Digitisation Centre and the fact that it handles a large variety of video formats with multiple ingest streams."
Did the experiences made with the already existing QUADRIGA•Audio System play a role?
Yes I suspect it did. This way we could deal with one vendor/provider for a more streamlined operation and we also knew it was a tried and proven setup and workflow."
Which video material do you digitize with QUADRIGA•Video?
Currently we digitise all formats of VHS, Betacam, Betamax, Umatic, Hi8, Video8. Our collections come from all the major universities in Western Australia, as well as the WA Museum and the State Library of WA. These are the most significant collections in the state of Western Australia."
Why do you like working with QUADRIGA•Video?
One streamlined workflow with multiple ingest. Great, simple software. Very knowledgeable provider and very responsive to our questions and troubleshooting."
How does the support team from Cube-Tec handle the time difference between Australia and Europe?
The support is excellent. The team always responds in a timely manner and makes the greatest effort to respond to our needs and resolve any issues. The team at Cube-Tec always takes an interest in finding a solution that suits us all, which is much appreciated. Cube-Tec are also experienced with working across our different time zones and within the restrictions of our IT systems without any trouble at all."
