Metadata provided by The MediaPreserve is a portal designed to a client’s specific needs. The metadata can include elements such as a description of content, documentation of the current format and condition, as well as the format and structure of the reformatted file. We will accommodate any metadata schema; be it METS, MODS, Dublin Core, CDWA Lite, some combination of these, or any other that you might choose. Our goal is to provide metadata for the schema that works best for your library, archives, company, or industry.

We anticipate that many tape boxes or reels do not have a clear description of the content or title information. This tool can be helpful to the customer in identifying a particular selection of unknown content material; this option provides an online browser tool that the customer can use to preview a file.

The MediaPreserve stores a video or audio file (WM9) on a “Play Stream” Server. We then send a hyper-link to the customer that they can click on and view and listen to the file on their desktop PC any time they choose.

The MediaPreserve streams video and audio live from the original source through the a capture PC work station, out to a Stream Server and then to the customer’s desktop PC.

The quality of the video file is usually VHS picture quality with CD audio quality.

The quality of the audio file is CD audio quality.

The quality limitation of the Streaming content is determined by the customer’s ability to receive high or low data rates. The MediaPreserve has the ability to customize the file size by adjusting the data bit rate to the customer’s broadband capability.
