Good day,

I would like to welcome all those interested
to attend a demonstration of the SAMMA Solo videotape to digital file migration
system by Steve Kwartek. Steve's
demonstration/presentation will take place in the Duke University's Perkins
Library in room 012 on Monday September 22nd at 2PM. I
expect the presentation/demonstration to last about an hour or so with
a Q&A session afterward.

hope to see everyone there,

Brian

Subject	[NCMIA] SAMMA Solo

Hello everyone, 

For those of you who weren't at the last meeting at UNC, one of the things
that was mentioned was a possible demonstration of the SAMMA Solo from
SAMMA Systems. You may had heard
of them because they received a lot of press a couple years ago when the
Library of Congress turned to them for mass audiovisual digitization. SAMMA
Systems now builds a turnkey digitization system called the SAMMA Solo
(http://www.sammasystems.com/?q=singlechannel_overview)
that essentially combines the roles of the analog-to-digital encoder, the
time base corrector, and video workstation, into one semi-automated unit.

Steve Kwartek, Director of Archive Sales for SAMMA Systems/ Media Matters
has contacted me about a possible demonstration of the SAMMA Solo. I'll
be speaking with him sometime next week about setting this up, but first
I wanted to get a sense of who among us would be interested in such a demonstration
and I also wanted to establish a general time-frame for having it. I'm
thinking that late September may work best. 

Feel free to email me personally with any specific questions.

Brian
