With technological advancements, preserving content stored on old media formats like VHS and Betamax tapes, which are nearing the end of their lifespan, is becoming increasingly important. This article explores the necessity of digitalization and how ASTODI can assist in this process.
Magnetic media, which have been the backbone of video and film storage for decades, are inevitably reaching the end of their lifespan. These formats, including VHS and Betamax, typically maintain their quality for about 10-30 years. As technology progresses, older media become obsolete, and the valuable content stored on them is at risk.
Digitalization is becoming increasingly vital for preserving old materials. Through digitalization, content from magnetic tapes is converted into a digital format, ensuring its long-term preservation and improving accessibility and editability. Digitalized content can be more easily shared, archived, and reused.
