Radiotelevizija Slovenia (RTV), first broadcaster to digitize its funds with Noa Record 4

The public entity Radiotelevizija Slovenia (RTV) will be the first broadcaster to implement the new Record 4 system from Noa Solutions for a rapid and accurate migration from analog to digital audio of its funds. Noa Record 4 is capable of simultaneously ingesting four parallel streams of analog audio.

The public entity Radiotelevizija Slovenia (RTV) will be the first broadcaster to implement the new Noa Record 4 system from Noa Solutions for a rapid and accurate migration from analog to digital audio of its funds.

RTV, which already works with Noa MediARC for the digitization and management of its audio files, is also expanding its units with Noa CD Reader for ingest from four to eight channels to double performance and capacity.

Martin Zvelc, technical advisor at RTV, commented that "after evaluating archiving solutions used in other parts of Europe, we are more convinced than ever that the Noa system we use every day is the best for this type of work. For RTV staff, the Noa MediARC system is essential in helping us manage our significant volume of audio files."

The Record 4 is part of the Noa family of online ingest which, together with the Noa MediaARC solution, form a comprehensive solution for managing stored audio assets. Developed to meet the needs of companies like RTV that have high volume audio stored on long-play magnetic tape or vinyl, the Noa Record 4 simultaneously ingests four parallel streams of analog audio. On RTV, two of Noa's four recording channels will be dedicated exclusively to the digitization of recordings saved on vinyl records.

Noa's proposal includes recording software, the N6071 workstation, and N6000A hardware, as well as A/D converters. RTV has also implemented the N6035A module for optical tape analysis that uses advanced transparency study to identify scratches as well as loss of the magnetic layer in analog tape, allowing the detection of its condition accurately, even at 76 cm/sec. This information is very valuable for consistent archival description and evaluation of transcription quality.
