AMIA 2014 | QCTools - Quality Control for Video
Channel: AMIAstreaming
Date: 24/01/2015

Presented by David Rice of CUNY TV.

Quality Control Tools for Video Preservation (QC Tools) is an initiative to develop a suite of open source software tools, which can identify artifacts and errors prevalent in digitized analogue video collections. The goal is simple: to cut down the time it takes to perform high-quality video preservation and direct time towards preservation issues that are solvable. A two year NEH- funded research and design project, QC Tools builds upon an existing error database, now aggregated and available to the public in the Audio/Visual Artifact Atlas (AVAA). For this presentation members of the QC Tools team will present the final tool, walking the audience through the process of analysis of digitized video files. Presentation topics to be covered include: The QC Tools User Interface, Overview of Analysis and Playback Filters, QCTools Building Blocks, and User Guide Help/ Documentation. 

Presented as part of the Open Source Digital Preservation and Access Stream at AMIA 2014.  To dowload the presentations for these and other sessions from the Conference, go to http://goo.gl/e5quqQ.
