"Many of HBO Sports' assets are on legacy tape formats that need to be migrated to digital because the physical formats are deteriorating, and the videotape machines that play them back are quickly becoming extinct,HBO副总裁迈克尔·卡斯特罗说. "HBO Sports now has access to its rich history of 体育 content digitally, 发掘长期以来的蛰伏, 坐在架子上. 通过Wazee数字, we are rediscovering these historic moments and making them available for future use."

Furthermore, Core provides secure cloud storage that scales with the size of HBO's digital library.

Core ensures digital preservation of HBO's analog and digital videotape formats using AS-02 MXF versioning. HBO's MXF-wrapped assets serve as master files that can accommodate many input and output formats, while flexible metadata support — including controlled vocabulary, 关键词帮助, and integration with thesauri vendors such as Synaptica — aids in search and discovery.
