NOA enables TV 2 Denmark to archive 60,000 Betacam cassettes
NOA, an audio-visual digitisation and archiving specialist, has completed a digitisation system delivery to Danish broadcaster TV 2 Denmark, which helps to preserve an extensive video archive containing approximately 60,000 Betacam cassettes.
As a pivotal player in the Danish media industry, TV 2 Denmark continues to invest in cutting-edge technology, content development, and digital transformation strategies that enhance viewer engagement and maintain its competitive edge in an increasingly complex media environment.
NOA delivered a comprehensive preservation solution at TV 2’s main facility in Odense on standard commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware, including the jobDB archive workflow management system, alongside with specialised ingestLINE and actLINE tools.
Initiated in early November, the project was designed to digitise and preserve the broadcaster’s historical video content with rigorous, professional-grade quality control measures.
According to Josephine Beck Høpner, project manager at TV 2 Denmark, the organisation sought an on-prem streamlined digitisation solution to safeguard its vast media heritage and therefore avoid the shipment of any material.
She added, “We are thrilled to implement an efficient digitisation platform that will preserve our 60,000 Betacam and DigiBeta carriers. NOA’s professional solution integrates seamlessly with our existing IT infrastructure, enabling us to leverage our internal resources for a high-quality, error-free digital conversion.”
TV 2 Denmark, a state-owned public service broadcaster founded in 1988, operates multiple channels and Denmark’s most popular streaming service, TV 2 Play. The broadcaster employs about 1,500 employees across Odense and Copenhagen and reaches millions of viewers nationwide.
