Professional, purpose-built digitization tools for archive preservation projects, guaranteeing flawless quality and outstanding cost-effectiveness.

Our Ingest Ecosystem

Carrier Ingest Solutions

At the core of NOA's ingestLINE, three main components are in place for quality-controlled transfer of physical carriers.

Audio Digitization

NOARecord and CDLector provide the means for efficient and high quality transfer of analog and digital audio carriers as well as CDs to digital files.

Video Digitization

NOA's FrameLector is an advanced tool designed for efficient, high-quality, and reliably quality-controlled digitization of video carriers.

Media File Ingest

Via configurable watch folders and automatic processing, various types of media formats may be ingested with NOA's FolderScanner and FileCollector. Further server-side processing is facilitated with applications WaveScanner or VideoScanner.

File Production and Delivery

jobDB, NOA's workflow orchestration system, is the basis for an industrial digitization facility, in which delivery of migrated material to an existing MAM (or the like) marks the end of the workflow.

File Processing

Stored and processed on a central production server (GPP: General Public Path), produced media and metadata are made accessible to client and server-side applications, e.g. for QC, segmentation, editing of metadata, or connection to 3rd party software.

File Archive

In an archiving facility based on mediARC, NOA's Archive Asset Management (AAM) system, produced files are archived and stored on multiple copies for the long term.

Quality and efficiency are (y)our top priorities.

 
Comprehensive and reliable transfer quality control to avoid introduction of new errors during transfer.

Scalable from a single workstation to a large-scale digitization facility with investment security from the start.
 
Designed for high throughput and operational efficiency without compromising quality of produced media content.

... and a lot more!

File Ingest

NOA's state-of-the-art archive solutions seamlessly facilitate the advanced importing of media files and file sets, including associated metadata, as an integral aspect of standard workflows.

 

  1. Workflow based import of audio and video files as well as metadata.
  2. File normalization of imported media files including signal analysis.
  3. Intelligent manipulation and usage of imported technical metadata.

IT Hardware Requirements


NOA's software is designed to operate seamlessly on standard Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) hardware, utilizing MS Windows operating systems. Each system is carefully scaled and each component clearly specified to meet the unique requirements of the specific purpose and overall project environment.

Opting for COTS hardware in building an archiving project brings with it a host of benefits:

  • Cost-Effectiveness: COTS products are often less expensive than custom-built solutions; existing framework or delivery contracts can simplify the procurement process for hardware.
  • Proven Reliability and Performance: COTS hardware is widely used and tested in various environments, which generally results in well-documented performance and reliability.
  • Rapid Deployment: Unlike custom-built hardware, COTS products can be acquired and deployed much faster, speeding up overall project timelines.
  • Compatibility and Interoperability: Adherence to industry standards makes COTS products more likely to be compatible with other systems and software. This interoperability is crucial for integrating multiple systems in large IT projects.
  • Easier Maintenance and Support: COTS hardware typically comes with prompt on-site vendor support, including warranties and customer service handled by the respective local representatives and contractual partners.

Digital archives are built with longevity in mind, often spanning decades. With NOA solutions, the assurance is that the underlying hardware will be completely worry-free, ensuring long-term stability and reliability.
