Broadcast and Mass Digitisation

Broadcast-grade expertise,
proven at scale.

Delivering mass digitisation, without compromise

Large-scale and mass digitisation projects require more than technical expertise, they demand planning, logistics, and the ability to operate at scale without sacrificing quality. DAMsmart has delivered some of the region’s largest broadcast preservation projects, from 40,000 carriers for Radio Television Hong Kong to more than 100,000 items for the ABC. With decades of experience, we know how to keep major projects moving smoothly from start to finish.

/01

Logistics and transport

We manage the secure movement of your collection from your premises to our facilities in Australia, New Zealand, or Kuala Lumpur. Whether it’s a single bulk transfer or multiple staged consignments, we handle logistics with precision so your collection arrives safely, every time.

/02

Collection control

For mass digitisation projects, tracking is critical. Every carrier is barcoded and logged into our system, giving you full visibility and ensuring collection integrity is maintained throughout the entire process.

/03

Broadcast equipment and engineering

Our facility is equipped with a comprehensive range of broadcast decks from different manufacturers and broadcast-grade ancillary systems such as technical audio and video monitoring, analogue time base correction, and automated and manual quality control and assurance. With an in-house engineering team maintaining and adapting equipment, projects never stall due to failing technology.

/04

High-volume encoding

We operate at a capacity of more than 30 concurrent encoding streams, enabling us to digitise large collections quickly and efficiently while maintaining broadcast-grade quality. This scale allows us to deliver mass digitisation workflows that meet demanding deadlines without compromise.

/05

Quality control

Confidence in the outcome matters. Every asset undergoes both manual and file-based QC, ensuring results meet transmission-ready standards and can be relied on for broadcast, reuse, or long-term access.

/06

Mass data movement

Big collections generate big data. We have extensive experience moving petabytes of content, whether via LTO, pre-populated MAMs, AWS Snowballs, Azure Databoxes, NAS systems, or SATA drives. Whatever your infrastructure, we deliver data securely at the scale you need.

/07

Access during digitisation

Even while your collection is with us, you don’t lose access. We can provide controlled access to content during the digitisation process, so your organisation can continue using material without delay.

Let’s work together to make your stories of the past, part of the future.
