Preservation Formats for Video
An Empirical Examination Report by Montevideo
In order to ensure the long-term continuation of the innovative function of dissemination of media art, the NMAI developed an infrastructure for streaming media. Streaming is a technique whereby audio and video files can be listened to or viewed via a network. The current technology makes it possible to show existing video material on request (on-demand content). NMAI’s distribution collection, which includes 1,600 titles amounting to a total of some 600 hours of video art, is transferred to and stored on hard disks. At the Institute’s mediatheque, it is possible to transmit the work directly from the hard disk to the server to the end user, for the purposes of distribution and research. Via broadband, Surfnet and Gigaport (the universities’ intranet) will make the on-demand content in context available for research.
