Benefits of Trusted Playback

In the relationship between Media Content Owners and Digitization Service Providers, the Trusted Playback Service offers advantages for both parties.

Media Content Owner

• quality of playback devices used for digitization becomes transparent for the first time and can also be monitored continuously by the Content Owner
• the expected quality of playback devices can be explicitly defined and may become part of the contract between both parties
• automatic monitoring of compliance with defined quality standards
• standardized text templates are available for use in tenders and service level agreements

Digitization Service Provider

• the generation of quality parameters is largely automated
• replacement of spot-checks by a quasi-continuous monitoring
• quality monitoring enables demand-driven maintenance services
• storage of data and their graphical representation simplify long-term evaluations
• added value of high-quality playback devices can be made transparent towards clients
