Cambridge Imaging Systems has announced a deal to supply the British Library with an advanced digital archive management system, known as Box of Broadcasts or simply ‘BoB'.
The British Library contains over 150 million items including a moving image collection of around 40,000 titles. As part of the Library's extensive plans to improve digital access, the Library has brought in Cambridge Imaging Systems to provide the digital video management technology required to host selected digital video files from the archives and to record, store, describe, locate and deliver access within the Library to television and radio news programmes.
Cambridge Imaging Systems' Box of Broadcasts package is an advanced off-air recording system which has been developed over a number of years. BoB is capable of capturing tens of thousands of hours of television and radio content per year from many channels and distributing that content to many users via the computer's normal web browser. The system also enables users to search for archived material using a variety of search criteria.
The British Library project will extend the functionality and scalability of BoB by integration with Imagen2, the latest edition of Cambridge Imaging Systems Media Asset Management and Digital Workflow Manager.
