LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwired - Oct 30, 2014) - RR Media (
The awards were held in October at the Hilton London Wembley, with RR Media beating strong competition to win in this prestigious award in the media industry.
RR Media's work in restoring British Pathe's historic archive took place earlier this year, with the project involving the reformatting and delivery of one of the largest archives of historic audiovisual content to YouTube. With over 85,000 pieces of video content, the archive contains footage of some of the most significant moment in 20th century history, including news reels from the First and Second World Wars.
This award recognizes the fact that audiences can now access 3,500 hours of high-resolution content on any device via YouTube. This has been achieved through RR Media's work not only reformatting historic achieved footage but also creating a complete metadata package for each clip, effectively simplifying the search process in order to provide an enhanced viewing experience of historic video footage.
Simon Kay, Managing Director Europe, RR Media, says: "This award reflects the hard work and tenacity of our team in bringing to life hours of archive content. For British Pathe it was important to maximise the value of this content, bringing it into the 21st century; content owners around the world should take note, and consider the revenue they may be missing out on with unused archive content."
