I remember a colleague who told them of their future customers: you don't know the mess in which you are going to stick with this scanning, with how happy you are now with your ribbons!! And he had every reason! Hard-to-scan of a television is no longer the management systems and file (in the middle of 2016 all work reasonably well), but the change management of migrants digital that look like they have lost control of their operations.

We have lived with the digital transformation of the television, and I am referring to the passage of tapes to files, not to the emergence of the Digital Betacam (digibeta), we saw how the content we disappeared literally out of the hands. The feeling of losing the touch of the tape where we mentioned in the title, the codes of time, you'll hear (what we now call metadata) that was similar to the feeling we had when we move from MSDOS to Windows 3.1. That is to say, the loss of control in the name of innovation, efficiency, of the ubiquity of the content and the quality.

It was easy to spend the tape bookcase in bookshelf and write down on the sheet of paper inserted in the plastic of the cover, as was the process of that video. There was space for the information of the contents, the name of the person who had done the quality control and the result, the dates of each action, who had done the editing... Everything was perfectly aimed, and when there's a mistake in any of the tasks we knew who to ask for explanations. And every television had his model sheet, with the fields that I needed... and the technical director was happy! A tape, a sheet, and all physical!
