TRANSCRIBING HISTORY CJP has been working hard on a huge video transcription project for Gibraltar Broadcasting Corporation, Gibraltar ’s national television and radio service. Currently there are over 15,000 tapes in different formats going through a thorough process of being checked, repaired and transferred to digital media for long-term archiving. “We are honoured to have been selected by GBC to digitise its entire tape library, which spans nearly half a century from the 1970s through to 2014,” says CJP broadcast MD Chris Phillips. “This very exciting project is now well into the second phase of a three-phase contract. We have completed phase one, which included 4000 U-Matic video tapes originally recorded during the 1970s and 1980s. Phase two is now in
progress with half of GBC’s 8000 Betacam tapes processed. We will then advance to phase three with the ingest of 3000 DVCAM and DVCPRO video cassettes.” GBC recently repurposed several of the newly digitised historic clips to great effect, including its coverage of the 2019 Island Games.
