Overview
For many years, the accepted method of archiving film and tape properties has been to recover and restore the item, then either physically store it or transfer it to a different format (XD Cam, DigiBeta, Blu-Ray, etc) and then store it.
Not only does this incur ongoing storage costs which can vary greatly depending on whether the tape is stored individually or as part of a box of multiple tapes, but it also means that the stored item is no longer at your disposal on a daily basis.
In essence, you have lost the use of this valuable asset.
This is where Cloud Based Archival Services come into their own.
At Video-8 we not only archive your taped items in the traditional way, but we also create a digitized master which can be accessed 24/7 from any remote location.
In other words, your asset now has increased value because it is available for use at any time.
You still have the traditional comfort of a stored physically Master tape, but you now have the ability to monetize that asset at all times, should you choose to edit, duplicate, change formats, etc.
Content is King in the digital universe, and for your content to have value you need to have access to it.

Why the cloud?
It’s a simple question with an equally simple answer.
Why The Cloud? Because Cloud Based services save you money and make you money.
The Cloud saves you money because it enables you to spend less in Capital Expenditure and
Operational Expenditure. In a volatile and fluctuating marketplace it’s almost impossible to accurately predict the levels of Cap-Ex and Op-Ex a business will need from month to month, let alone quarter to quarter or year to year.
Those headaches have disappeared.
A simple monthly fee gives you access to a professional grade Media Asset Management system with automation of workflows from ingest, quality control, archiving and transcoding to rapid repurposing and delivery.
It’s a safe, secure and dependable platform designed to expand or contract according to your demand. You’re no longer spending large sums of money on equipment and infrastructure that may sit idle for extended periods of time, or can’t cope with the demand during peak period. With The Cloud, you only pay for what you use.
The Cloud can also make you money by providing the flexibility, agility and access that creates the potential for you to monetize the value of your digital assets.
The ability to tap into online work flows from any remote location means that you will have immediate access to your entire archive of digital assets from anywhere at any time, and you can repurpose those assets with the click of a button.
Not only are your assets preserved and protected, this unprecedented level of access to them also adds value and helps you build and realise new revenue streams.
