SAMMA-Videotape digitization for any archive need.
SAMMA: System for Automated Migration of Media Assets is an
Emmy Award-winning system for scalable videotape digitization.

SAMMA transforms the traditionally manual, time-intensive digitization
process into a controlled, repeatable workflow that any archivist, librarian
or operator can use with ease.
Compar Pro
Compar Pro enables the analysis and comparison of two video files to show you what is different between them; providing insight to manage your media library efficiently. QC, technical inspections or content
reviews are all workflows in which Compar Pro can be utilized.
Clarity. Consistency. Control.
Together, our applications give media professionals everything they need to deliver, preserve and manage their content.
From loudness compliance to validating file versions across platforms, GrayMeta delivers the precision and confidence your media demands.

SAMMA: Videotape Digitization for any Archive
A Critical Time for Preservation
For decades, videotape captured our world’s most important moments—news broadcasts, cultural events, artistic performances, and irreplaceable stories.
But today, those recordings are in serious jeopardy.
Archivists, librarians, and media preservation teams are in a race against time, and the window for reliable videotape digitization is closing fast.
That’s why we built SAMMA.
Why archives trust SAMMA:
- Controlled, repeatable workflows that reduce manual intervention
- Universal format support from Betacam to U-matic to open-reel and beyond
- Scalable architecture; from single-channel to multi-channel configurations
- Built-in quality assurance with continuous monitoring to ensure
preservation-grade standards - Field-proven by major news organizations and archives worldwide
Managing multiple content versions?
You need more than just hope
and a sharp eye.
When content exists in multiple versions, knowing what’s different (and why) is essential.
Compar Pro delivers frame-accurate, pixel-level analysis to instantly reveal differences between two video files
whether it’s a technical change or an editorial decision.
- Detect shot replacements, overlays, subtitle changes, or missing scenes.
- Validate compression, color, and frame integrity.
- Generate time-coded reports for QC, audit,
and compliance workflows.
With Compar Pro, QC operators, content creators, and engineers gain insight and assurance faster than real-time.
