Overview

The estimated price for the task is € 100.000 / DKK 750.000. Below is an explanation of the task and some of the requirements from the requirement specification. The digitisation task consists of 1590 reel-to-reel logging tapes distributed on two different collections: 1365 tapes: 8 hour ½ inch logging tapes in low speed (1 7/8 ips) 4 track mono recorded in the same direction 225 tapes: 24 hour ¼ inch logging tapes in ultra-low speed (15/32 ips) 4 track mono recorded in the same direction Most of the tapes are 3600 feet on 7 inch reels Prior to the digitisation the tapes must be inspected both visually and sound-wise. Appropriate action must be taken (i.e. baking, repair etc.) and all findings must be documented in the accompanying metadata. The preservation file format must be uncompressed BWF – 24 bit/96kHz - and delivered with the filename extension “.wav” and use - when necessary - 64 bit wav compatible according to RF64 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RF64 ) specified by the European Broadcasting Union. Metadata must be delivered in a Premis 3.0 xml file, with an embedded PBCore 2.1 section with technical metadata. PBCore must be generated by the software mediaInfo, using MediaInfoLib – v19.07 or higher. The metadata must include all events during the process. Embedded metadata in the BWF file must follow the Guideline for Federal Agency Use of Broadcast WAVE Files see www.digitizationguidelines.gov/audio-visual/documents/Embed_Guideline_20120423.pdf The replay machines used must follow the specifications mentioned in the IASA-TC04 – section 5.4.4 Delivery must be in structured batches and include a delivery report for all digitisations in the batch as well as a md5 checksum file. Delivery of as many digitisations as possible in 2026 will be weighted as a positive feature in the tendering phase.
