The SAMMA Solo will be introduced in the United States for the first time at NAB. SAMMA Solo provides an end-to-end systems approach to digitizing archival videotape content. SAMMA Solo can be purchased in single or multiple channel configurations to fit any size archive project. It will handle inputs from any analog or digital tape machine and output multiple simultaneous digital files and a metadata report on the technical quality of the content.  

SAMMA Systems is also taking on media migration with the introduction of a tape-media rating technology. SAMMA Systems will demonstrate a technology that automatically rates the physical condition of tapes during the initial stage of the migration process.  

The rating system will be added to SAMMA Eye software and will automatically assign a rating to the tape’s condition as it travels through the SAMMA Systems Tape Cleaner. Physical deterioration is the key reason old tapes fail to play. This new software allows the SAMMA Cleaner to provide a quantitative rating on a tape’s physical qualities, which can then become a basis for further action.
