Publication number: 20140300983Abstract: A media data storage system comprising a data management portion, a local data storage portion, and a remote data storage portion. One data management portion comprises instructions associated with an intake, modification, transfer, and providing of media information. The local data storage portion comprises one or more first media data tape libraries adapted to receive the media information. The remote data storage portion comprises one or more second media data tape libraries adapted to receive the media information. Furthermore, the data management portion is adapted to instruct the local data storage portion to remove at least a portion of the media information from the one or more first media tape libraries upon verifying that the remote data storage portion comprises the at least a portion of the media information.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 19, 2014Publication date: October 9, 2014Applicant: FRONT PORCH DIGITAL, INC.Inventors: Phil Jackson, George Zummer

Patent number: 8135263Abstract: Archival storage and retrieval of audio/video information is described. Audio and/or video information is digitized, compressed and stored in an intermediate archive format (IAF), which preserves the content at a high-enough quality for subsequent retrieval and conversion into various formats required at the time of use or distribution. A single capture operation is performed with ancillary metadata being added to facilitate subsequent searching, indexing and format conversion. Captured data content is catalogued and indexed at or subsequent to the creation of an IAF file that includes the archived information. The IAF includes a family of audio-video digital encoding formats based on public standards. The encoding format used in any particular application is determined at encoding time from information provided by the archive system user. At encoding, the particular encoding scheme is selected to optimize a tradeoff between storage constraints and end use quality requirements.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2006Date of Patent: March 13, 2012Assignee: Front Porch Digital, Inc.Inventors: Jay Yogeshwar, Stephen A. Martucci, Bobby R. Gupta, Melanie R. Fendt, Frederick M. Venzie, III
