Meta Martis provides a turnkey migration service for media content owners using a technology ecosystem developed with key partners. We process media from cassette-based videotape or LTO data tape. For videotape, our “migration factory®,” powered by the Meta Martis “Flypack,” automates digitization using GrayMeta SAMMA and Telestream encoders. Files from both sources are stored on Disk Archive Corporation’s ALTO Tier 3 cold storage platform. We harvest searchable metadata and apply C2PA-standard-based hashes for file authenticity and ownership verification. This service is available on or off customer premises with opex and capex business models.

The FLYPACK is the most efficient, automated, and cost effective way to migrate large videotape libraries to digital files at scale.

Concurrently encode 8 Streams of any source to your choice of formats, up convert to HD, international standards, as well as noise reduction.

Put as many FLYPACKS you need, where your videotapes are, or we can arrange to have them shipped to one of our secure, migration locations.

Each FLYPACK is self contained and uses SAMMA, the application used by major broadcasters, large studios and the Library of Congress.

We bring the Emmy-Award winning SAMMA solution consists of state-of-the-art software allowing general operators to automatically or semi-automatically migrate content from videotape to digital form.

Deployed by major archivists and tape preservationists all over the world including the Library of Congress and Getty Images, SAMMA helps clients throughout the museum, institutional, national archive, service bureau, government, and media & entertainment sectors with a highly efficientconfigurable and cost-effective means for controlling videotape migration queues & digitizing content.  

  • Processes/Digitizes A/V signals from VTR to SDI Output
  • Analog Composite/Component, SDI, Y/C
  • Capture and Embed Analog Longitudinal Time Code (LTC)
  • 8 Channels Analog Audio – 16 Channels SDI Embedded Audio
  • Hardware up-conversion, down-conversion, standards conversion.
  • Filters and Proc-Amp functions to improve/stabilize A/V Signals
  • Real-Time transmission of A/V Metadata during migration to enable SAMMA Eye Intelligent Signal Analysis and Metadata Capture.
