Pasadena, CA  (October 5, 2009) – Tyler Purcell, VP Engineering at Alteran Technologies, recently joined three other industry experts to deliver a lively panel discussion on content archiving at DV Expo 2009. Alteran, a developer of customized workflow solutions for media and entertainment, offers a video content digitization and encoding hardware/software system solution.
 
The one and a half-hour session was designed to examine the hardware and processes necessary for both archiving currently generated content and migration of older content to an easily accessible storage system or medium.  Purcell explained the benefits of Alteran’s affordable rapid video ingest and encoding solution and how it can offer an economical alternative to current digitization and encoding processes.

It allows content to be repurposed to network based distribution platforms such as the web, mobile devices, IPTV, and file based post production.”
