Keeping audiovisual contents aliveThe Project
PrestoPRIME analysed the structures, problems and requirements of file based digital media content, then extended long term preservation approaches to very large collections of very large audiovisual files.
The work programme was designed around a series of research, technology development and innovation work packages. They addressed the central scientific and technological problems, the practical and business issues, and the need for a Competence Centre to support the archives and library community:

The research and technology development work packages were complemented by an innovation work package, WP6 Audiovisual Preservation Competence Centre. WP6 established the operation of the Competence Centre and the European Association of Audiovisual Archive and Content Holders.
The technologies and services were demonstrated and evaluated under field trial conditions in WP8 Competence Centre Showcases.
