Audio/Video/Broadcast Recording
Migration & Conversion

At your site or ours, S2|DATA can restore or convert your audio or video archives.

Think about your favorite classic movie, a legendary sports moment, or a historic news broadcast. Chances are, the original high-quality footage for those events is sitting in a warehouse on an outdated piece of physical media, like a Betacam or an aging LTO tape. The big problem for entertainment companies is that these physical tapes do not last forever.

Magnetic tape naturally wears out over time, and the clunky old machines needed to play them are breaking down and becoming almost impossible to replace. S2|DATA’s Audio, Video, and Broadcast Recording Migration service rescues this at-risk footage. We safely pull your valuable media off of dying physical formats and translate it into modern digital files, moving it onto the newest generation of tape media or into a cloud environment of your choice where it is protected from physical decay.

For media companies, old footage is basically hidden money! Once a network or studio modernizes their giant, unorganized collection, you can suddenly search through decades of video or audio in seconds.

• Major sports franchises can instantly pull up historic plays for new highlight reels or documentaries.
• News stations use it to instantly grab background footage of a politician or event from thirty years ago.
• Music labels and film studios use it to clean up and stream classic concerts or movies to brand new audiences on modern platforms.

Instead of having someone dig through dusty boxes to find a single clip, producers can use smart AI tools to instantly search and organize their entire history. By digitizing your media archives, you are unlocking totally new ways to share and cash in on your old content, helping you truly future proof your past.
