San Francisco, CA - Bay Area Video Coalition (BAVC) is excited to announce the launch of a brand new version of QCTools, the popular open-source quality control application used by media archivists around the globe. QCTools 0.8.0 includes a smorgasbord of new features that assist and educate media professionals as they analyze their tape-to-file transfers.
A highlight of this release is qcli, a simple but effective program that allows users to generate QCTools reports directly from the command line. qcli is a precursor to the anticipated SignalServer web application, slated for release Summer 2017.
Other 0.8.0 Features Include:
In addition to these enhancements, QCTools 0.8.0 has also been optimized for a more reliable performance. The new QCTools is bigger, stronger, smarter, faster, AND more fun.
The continued developed of QCTools is thanks in part to generous financial support provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Knight Foundation, and also an international team of invested individuals in the audiovisual archiving community. Users of all stripes are welcome to contribute to the advancement of QCTools through our active Github site.
