Entertainment has gone digital, make sure your assets do too

Doing business in the entertainment industry today means working in a digital world. It is important to ensure your original recordings are migrated from analog to digital to keep up with this changing market.

Protecting yesterday’s assets for tomorrow’s generations

Analog video and audio recordings as well as filmed media are unfortunately a delicate and degrading asset. In addition to the simple passing of time, temperature, humidity and other storage conditions can leave assets in varying degrees of disrepair. Conversion from analog to current and appropriate digital media is the only way to ensure the preservation of these assets for the long term.

Iron Mountain’s video transfer service will:

• Physically inspect the audio or video asset
• Capture a JPEG scan of all surfaces of packaging and labeling
• Carefully play asset in appropriate machine while digitally recording
• Verify box and labeling information as correct
• Successfully complete transfer to digital media

Creating new revenue streams from existing assets

Working in a business that has converted to nearly 100% digital distribution offers significant benefits. Shipping and duplication costs are reduced and speed of delivery and security of assets is increased. Additionally, reissue and redistribution of older recorded assets can create revenue streams out of assets you already own. To enjoy these benefits, however, your media must be in digital form. Iron Mountain’s audio and video conversion service will safely and efficiently migrate your assets, preparing you to do business in the digital world.
