In the paper 'Audiovisual Adherence', archivist and technologist Dave Rice examines the challenges and opportunities for defining and implementing policies in order to test adherence of audiovisual files against defined requirements. Such requirements may originate from software and hardware systems, adopted best practices or conservation concerns.
http://www.tate.org.uk/research/publications/audiovisual-adherence The research includes in-depth exploration of particular use cases such as adherence to the requirements of exhibition systems (e.g. media players from BrightSign). The paper also explores the archival recommendation of 'uncompressed video in QuickTime' in detail and examines the shortcomings of this practice as well as opportunities to apply this objective with more precision.
