To archive a 24-hour SDI broadcast feed, you can ingest the source directly via DeckLink, perform a full-decode integrity check, generate SHA-256 checksums, and normalize the output to an MKV container for cold storage.

The best way to preserve EXIF and IPTC metadata during media ingestion is to extract the metadata into standalone sidecar files, ensuring original context survives alongside the normalized FFV1 or ProRes archival containers.

Yes, this media archiving workflow supports IP camera and RTSP video ingestion, capturing the streams directly and applying full-decode verification and SHA-256 hashing before pushing the archives to cloud storage.

Yes, you can normalize tethered DSLR timelapses into FFV1 archival containers within an MKV wrapper, which prepares the media with lossless compression and integrity checks for long-term cold storage.

SHA-256 hashing works during media archive ingestion by generating a unique cryptographic checksum for each ingested file, allowing you to verify that the archived media remains bit-for-bit identical to the original source over time.

Yes, after ingesting sources like web downloads or SDI feeds and normalizing them into MKV containers with FFV1 targets, you can push the verified media archives directly to Glacier Deep Archive or Archive.org.
