Innovative cost-saving set-up allows valuable TV series footage to be archived quickly so that expensive discs can be re-used

Leading broadcast equipment rental company HotCam has launched a new production service that could save television producers thousands of pounds on XDCam shooting stock by quickly and efficiently archiving footage so that the solid-state discs can be re-used.

Once footage has been copied, the discs are then wiped clean and returned to the production company for re-use.

For producers currently using XDCam discs for both production and archive purposes, especially those with returning series, the service has the potential more
