Method and system for automated migration of media archives
First Claim
1. A method of migrating data from a first source storage media comprising a first source tape to a destination storage media comprising a first destination digital storage device comprising,cleaning the first source tape by,using a sensor to inspect the first source tape at a rate faster than a first source tape play rate,determining particulate matter levels and defects on the first source tape, andadjusting a speed of a cleaning tissue;
- selecting a destination storage format;
analyzing one or more radio frequency signals of the first source tape;
analyzing a video signal of the first source tape;
analyzing an audio signal of the first source tape;
reviewing one or more of the one or more radio frequency signals, video signal, and audio signal to determine whether the first source tape was properly migrated to the first destination digital storage device;
placing metadata relating to the cleaning and the migrating into a log;
cleaning a second source storage media substantially simultaneously as migrating data from the first source tape to the first destination digital storage device.

Abstract
A method and system for effectively and rapidly migrating recorded content from one storage-media to a second storage-media. The method and system includes an operator and a robotic handler with multiple processing and analytical tools where the operator loads the storage-media into the robotic handler and ensures each storage-media is placed in an efficient order as determined by the system. The system retrieves the storage-media from the input bay and places it into an appropriate playback deck; migrates the recorded data to one or more destination storage-media in accordance with the established parameters; analyzes the timing, video signal, and audio signal of the storage-media; and periodically calibrates its internal to consistently calibrated quality control.

11. A method of migrating data from a first source storage media comprising a first source tape to a destination storage media comprising a first destination digital storage device comprising,
cleaning the first source tape by, using a sensor to inspect the first source tape at a rate faster than a first source tape play rate, determining particulate matter levels and defects on the first source tape, and adjusting a speed of a cleaning tissue; -
monitoring one or more migrating signals; calibrating the first source tape by, playing a calibration tape, monitoring one or more calibration tape signals, comparing the one or more calibration tape signals to the one or more migrating signals, and identifying inaccuracies in the one or more migrating signals; placing metadata relating to the cleaning and the migrating into a log; cleaning a second source storage media substantially simultaneously as migrating data from the first source tape to the first destination digital storage device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)

15. A method of automatically migrating recorded content from a first source tape to a destination digital storage device comprising,
cleaning the first source tape by, inspecting the first source tape with a sensing device faster than a first source tape play rate, identifying particulates and defects on the first source tape, and adjusting cleaning tissue speed; -
selecting a destination storage format; analyzing and reviewing one or more radio frequency signals, a video signal, and an audio signal of the first source tape to determine whether the first source tape was properly migrated to the first destination digital storage device; placing cleaning and migrating metadata into a log; substantially simultaneously cleaning a second source storage media as migrating data from the first source tape to the first destination digital storage device. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
