The variety of formats information can be stored in, often involving licenses, compression or very large file-sizes represents an interesting challenge for this industry. Piql offers an innovative solution that caters for all file formats, guaranteeing no data loss. From analogue formats to born digital content, we can help restore, organise and safeguard your audio visual assets to ensure access well into the future. MOTION PICTURES In the past, motion picture film masters were preserved through analogue B/W film with colour separation tech nology. This is an expensive and complicated process, that can result in quality loss. With this solution, audio must be stored separately, often on short term media solutions or tape. With Piql, the master file can be stored in original digital form, with no need for colour separation technology, en suring the quality of the film is unaffected.

piqlFilm also offers greater longevity than standard analogue or microfilms. Our AI assisted metadata extraction ensures that your information is enriched and searchable (not just to find the file, but to search through content within the file). AUDIO Maintaining audio quality is incredibly important for ar chiving and digital preservation. Migration of data from one medium to the next every few years can negatively impact on audio quality. Careful digital capture of analogue con tent is also crucial to preserve the authenticity and longev ity of analogue content. With Piql’s migration-free approach, audio is stored uncom pressed, and can be recalled in prime quality. Our approach is also compliant with International Association of Sound and Audiovisual Archives (IASA) and OAIS guidelines and standards.
