Translations:Registratie en identificatie van video- en audiotapes bij Damaged Goods voor digitalisering/23/en
The template was filled in as follows:
- CP (content provider): This is the person or organisation managing the audiovisual archive. The official name of the organisation (in this case Damaged Goods) is filled in here.
- Type: This field indicates whether the medium is audio or visual.
- Format: The format of the medium, e.g. CD-R, compact audio cassette, Betacam SP of MiniDV.
- Original_medium_id: The number or code of the medium. Damaged Goods had not yet numbered and inventoried the audiovisual archive, meaning that we have been able to use continuous numbers starting from 1. Should the tapes and discs in the audiovisual archive have already had a number, then we would have filled in this code or number in this field.
- Original_location: In this field, a highly specific location for the audio or video tape should be given, namely the organisation (in this case Damaged Goods) at which it is being stored, the room in which the video is being kept and the number of the box in which the tape is stored.
- Title: The title of the video. For this, we have copied verbatim the inscriptions and labels on the tapes and boxes. If there were no inscriptions, the term ‘unknown’ was used.
- Brand: Brand and type of tape, e.g. Sony DT-120, Maxell B-30ML BQ or TDK DVM60.
- Date: The date on which the video was made. This is filled in according to the template yyyy-mm-dd. If one element was not known, an ‘x’ was inserted. E.g. 2001-12-14, 2001-12-xx or xxxx-xx-xx.
- Duration: The total length of the tape or disc. This is usually mentioned in the product name, e.g. a Sony DT-120 has a total length of 120 minutes. The length is filled in according to the template h:mm:ss. 120 minutes is therefore 2:00:00.
- Comments: In this field, extra information is added that can be relevant to the digitisation, such as the recording standards (PAL, NTSC, SECAM). This technical information is important when playing and digitising the tapes.http://www.scart.be/?q=nl/content/beknopte-handleiding-voor-het-identificeren-van-u-matic-en-betacam, only in Dutch
- To be digitised through the VTi: In this field, we indicate which cassettes are already being sent off to the VTi to be digitised in the first phase.
