Overview

QUADRIGAVideo is a migration workstation designed for the quality-controlled transfer of video tapes into archive files employing an architecture that is completely scalable. The base QUADRIGAVideo system supports one to four simultaneous parallel ingest streams, capturing from any combination of analog or digital video machines (VTRs). The QUADRIGA Machine Control hardware optimizes operational procedures by handling remote control, VTR status monitoring and device diagnostics.

The QUADRIGAVideo user interface is expressly designed to support operators’ ingest activities with clear and optimized workflows. All four input video streams can be monitored and the inspection of audio-visual content quality is available during capture and without interrupting the migration process of any other input stream. A multi-view monitor system is used to detect transfer degradations of the parallel streams, including various signal scope displays that deliver instantaneous signal metrics to facilitate supervision of the broadcast audio and video signals. A complete post-digitization file-based workflow system can be integrated with QUADRIGAVideo in order to provide: automated and manual quality control, transcoding, metadata enrichment, file/wrapper inter-operability and much more.
