[QuadList] Non-Contact Method of Recovering Data fromObsoleteFormats." - 2" Quad??

[Pat Shevlin]

It would require more than just picking up the FM and demoding it.  They
would also have to pick up the linear audio track and sync it up with the
video for lip sync.  I guess that would not be difficult since it is a fixed
time difference.

Ted,

 

Thought the group would find this information interesting.

 

One of our sales & marketing guy that is stationed at the Library of
Congress attended a conference regarding a non-contact method of recovering
data from obsolete formats.  Keep in mind he is not a technical person so
take it for what it's worth.  I have not spoken to him yet about this
conference.

 

Pat,

 

Here is the announcement about the "non-contact" method of dealing with
tapes presentation on Monday at the Library of Congress.

 

I missed the first five minutes, but the guy was very vague about how the
non-contact method got the data.  He gave more details about how they
planned to store it.   The deliverable would be a large format-agnostic
database.   They would store the data as a big SQL database.  He also said
they pull the FM envelope off of a tape and give the customer the info.
It sounded like they were working mainly with 2" quad right now.    

 

In general, it was kind of a vague presentation.

 

Bill

The link doesn't work. Can you check the situation and repost?
