Archiving Solutions
Archiving Solutions for Individual Requirements
All industries and all sectors are faced with the question of archiving digital data material – and finding the right solution. The answer depends on several factors. The size of the system installation, tape automation with digital tapes or hard-drive-based NAS storage solutions, permanent or temporary archiving, memory capacities, data types, and much more.
Can your archiving system meet all these requirements? Is it cost-efficient and energy-efficient? Does it have secure storage media, virus protection, and reliable long-term storage solutions? Can it digitize, store, recycle, and re-use 13/15 mm film and tape material? Can it be linked to an overarching MAM system? Is this planned or was this already implemented?
These and other questions should preferably be discussed with an experienced partner like BFE. We have extensive expertise in the design, implementation, and support of digital archives.

Radio Bremen
Performance capability in the smallest Space
Radio Bremen, founded in 1945, is ARD's smallest regional broadcasting agency. Halving ARD's financial compensation reduced the broadcaster's revenue annually by a third of the budget. Because of this, a package of measures was developed which included combining radio and television on a shared site. Introducing file-based television production also meant that it was necessary to enhance program material usability, as well as processes regarding central administration, archiving, and trimedial use. This project, along with the later upgrade of the networked production systems, was implemented by BFE.
MBC Group
Tapeless system environment with file-based workflows
The Middle East Broadcast Center (MBC Group) in Dubai operates 24 TV channels and several radio stations. With more than 1,500 employees worldwide, programs are broadcast to over 150 million Arabic-speaking viewers and listeners. In 2010, MBC decided to introduce a completely tapeless system environment with file-based workflows for program and transmission planning, editing, broadcasting, and archiving. The project also included migrating from SD to HD without interrupting transmissions, as well as migrating the existing taped material to a new long-term archive. Following an international tender, BFE was chosen as the partner to oversee the entire project.
ProSiebenSat.1
Tapeless workflow for material pool and playout center
The ProSiebenSat1 Group is the leading private television broadcaster in Germany, and one of the leading television service providers in Europe. As a technical service provider, ProSiebenSat1 Produktion (PSP) is responsible for the playout of its free and subscription TV channels in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. PSP manages all production units of Sat1, ProSieben, and Kabel Eins, including concept development for OnAir design, advertising, and audio design, as well as production of trailers and marketing. As part of the broadcaster’s expansion, all tape-based processes had to be switched to file-based processes to increase the efficiency of broadcasting operations, and transferred to a highly-automated environment. The foundations were laid in two subprojects – the material pool and the playout center. The new tapeless workflow was used for the first time in these areas.
