Front Porch Archives, Manages Assets for Archdiocese of Hartford

The Office of Radio and Television, an agency of the Archdiocese of Hartford, Conn., has purchased a new DIVAdirector and upgraded the facility's existing DIVArchive system, supplied by Front Porch Digital, the broadcast and media division of Incentra Solutions.

The DIVArchive and DIVAdirector systems are integrated with a StorageTek tape library and the facility's Leitch play-out servers through a gateway. Reporters and producers for ORTV use DIVAdirector to browse low-resolution proxy versions of archived material directly from the desktop. As the archive system ingests the content, operators review past programming and add metadata that will simplify access to specific content for new productions.
