Abstract: To capture and process moving images costs money. To do it with a better image quality means even higher investments. To recover these investments takes time. To preserve the content over that time period is a prerequisite for recovering the investments made. Image quality means nothing without appropriate archiving systems and tools to access and retrieve high quality content. Part of the information given is based on the work of the Project Group P/FTA “Future Television Archives”, which was installed 1998 by the Production Management Committee of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU). The project group was charged with: Providing an overview of the options available for the technical realization of future television archives, taking into account existing technology. Proposing ways of migrating from the current conservative and static “legacy” based Content production to new production architectures that could accommodate continuous adaptation to the rapid pace of technological development. Unfortunately, all physical storage media have a limited lifetime. But not only storage media are transitory, the same applies for the necessary hardware and software. Technological progress will always make hardware and software obsolete which is used to preserve content. Library systems should make content available despite technological progress. The paper will outline a concept of migration, which was formulated to solve this conflict. The implementation of an Enterprise Content Management (ECM) is the prerequisite for minimizing the cost of content preservation & content re-use through increased efficiency new business opportunities and an integrated Migration Management to master the unavoidable technological changes.
