The Bottlenecks…
From Ingest to Website:
Activities with a high human labor component: Inspecting and cataloguing media. Categorizing and organizing collections & creating descriptive metadata. Pre-digitization preparation of media. Digitizing legacy audio formats. Metadata entry:
Archive numbers Descriptive & technical metadata
Post-digitization activities: File Security – Check-sum generation, validity tests, file management Quality analysis – restoration. Derivative creation – testing massive derivative collections.
ARSC 2009
Computer Automation…
From Ingest to Website:
Activities benefiting from computer automation: Multiple digitization streams. High-speed, multi-channel, dual-direction ingest. Automated quality analysis of digital intermediates or masters.

Multiple Digitization Streams
From Ingest to Website:
Traditional Approach: Requirements for a digitization studio needs to be replicated multiplied by the
number of ingest streams desired. Expensive – Example: six parallel ingest streams require…
6 studios/rooms 6 transfer engineers 6 sets of digitization stations – computers, monitoring, etc.
Quality analysis potential and cost/performance assessment:Quality Analysis: Critical:- Active listening by human.- Descriptive information & quality analysis can be collected while recording. - High skill = high cost.
Quality Analysis: Non-Critical:- Non-skilled workers lowers labor costs. - Limited ability to perform quality analysis. Quality analysis may not be required.

Multiple Digitization Streams
From Ingest to Website:
QUADRIGA Approach: One workstation can provide up
to eight parallel ingest streams simultaneously.
System costs offset redundant real-estate and equipment costs – only require: 1 studio, 1 computer
system, 1 audio monitoring system, etc.
Labor costs are dramatically decreased.
ARSC 2009
QUADRIGA: Hyper-Efficient Ingest
From Ingest to Website:
Multi-Speed Recording Speeds from ½x to 4x with accurate playback equalization and
pitch correction for proper real-time monitoring. Multi-Channel Recording
Ingest mono, stereo or multi-channel sources to 8 tracks with appropriate monitoring functions.
Dual-Direction Ingest ½ track mono or ¼ track stereo open reel and compact
cassette formats in one pass. Includes real-time, reverse-corrected monitoring during capture.
Combine Formats Ingest a ¼ track compact cassette using double-speed, 4-channel,
dual direction for a one pass ingest: 90 min cassette would take 22.5 minutes to digitize.

Automated Quality Analysis
From Ingest to Website:
AudioFile Inspector and Digital Error Checker are real-time analysis tools that automatically detect both analog and digital domain events in the audio stream.
Time domain events are time-stamped and displayed in a Report List. Events can be used as location markers in the recorded file.
Statistical analysis such as averages, means, ratios, etc. are displayed in real-time. Critical thresholds can be set for each event typed.
The complete analysis reports can be stored in the Quality Chunk of the BWF header and exported as XML based metadata.
Multiple analysis profiles can be created for any media type.
ARSC 2009
Automated Quality Analysis
From Ingest to Website:
Automatically Detected Events: Start/End of Modulation, Signal Pauses Analog Distortion, Clicks, Dropouts, Hum Stereo/Mono, Speech/Music Content S/N Ratio, Bandwidth, DC-Offset Dynamic, Peaks, Average Level Stereo Balance, Correlation, Azimuth
Errors Digital Zero, Digital Clicks, Digital
Clipping, Block Repetition, Sample-Holds

Automated Metadata Management
From Ingest to Website:
Cube-Workflow Integration: Manages the task of generating
work-order processes for QUADRIGA and Dobbin systems.
Operates as a stand-alone work-group solution with it’s own database engine, or as the link between an existing asset management system.
Exchanges database information from any external database source to QUADRIGA and Dobbin systems, and back…
ARSC 2009
Automated Metadata Management
From Ingest to Website:
Driven By Metadata: Use existing collected
information throughout the digitization, ingest and post-processing life-cycles.
Cube-Workflow’s process chains can be dynamic - adapting to collected metadata.
Exchanging process service information with other Cube-Tec products enable automatic processing between software applications.
ARSC 2009
Automated Metadata Management
From Ingest to Website:
Manage your Workflows Supervises scheduled jobs and
traces production issues using bi-directional messaging.
Email and SNMP notifications are event triggered from workflow processes.
Time-line based statistical information collected by QUADRIGA and Dobbin can be viewed in Cube-Workflow.

The Rule Editor Workbench
From Ingest to Website:
A simple API for creating rules consumed by modules that perform workflow decisions – Example: Decider.
These rules are loaded and stored into a module from Job Designer.
The Rule Editor Workbench allows simple drag-and-drop techniques to define the elements and rule logic.
ARSC 2009
Metadata Schemas
From Ingest to Website:
Completely integrated meta-data schema - the BWF format, reports, FPUs, etc. This is used to create the source parameter set used by rules.
Schema and parameter selection and then assigning the desired value for the rule criteria is performed in a simple dialog box.
ARSC 2009
Defining Your Rules
From Ingest to Website:
The Workspace area is used to define the rule. Each rule has a Start and End element with some number of internal elements that tests criteria, performs conditional branching or manipulates data.
Drag-and-Drop from any Workspace window or element field facilitates simple rule creation and minimizes human-error.
ARSC 2009
XML Logic & Function Toolbox
From Ingest to Website:
The Rule Editor modules are similar to a programming language syntax. They allow a simple and common approach to creating the rule logic that is applied to the meta-data.
Control items are used for defining the logic flow of a rule. Includes elements for conditional branching, and looping through element sets.
Functions are used for calculations, searching, defining logic paths, and manipulating numbers and strings.
Complex are presets of user-created combinations of Controls and Functions.

Summary
From Ingest to Website:
Parallel digitization produce dramatic results in efficiencies. Multi-speed, multi-channel and dual direction ingest, leverages
existing resources further increasing efficiencies. Metadata integration minimizes repetitive data entry and associated
human error. Automated quality analysis facilitates parallel ingest and produces
rich technical metadata for your media. Automated batch processing eliminates human activities relating to
derivative generation. Powerful, metadata driven workflows, allow for rich media content
to flow from ingest to on-line access in a secure but automated fashion.
