BITPRESS ENGAGED BY BBC STUDIOS TO ANALYZE 90,000 MEDIA ASSETS IN JUST TWO WEEKS

BBC Studios Enlists Bitpress to Modernize and Monetize Massive Media Library

DENVER, CO, UNITED STATES, May 14, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Massive Library Audit: Bitpress analyzed over 90,000 BBC Studios media assets—spanning decades of film and TV content—in only two weeks.

Enhanced Metadata Accuracy: Bitpress’ intelligent catalog analysis revealed 38 detailed data points per asset and identified inaccuracies in existing metadata and video mastering.

Cloud-Powered Efficiency: Using AWS cloud infrastructure and machine learning, Bitpress streamlined source analysis at unprecedented speed and scale.

Optimized Monetization: BBC Studios can now efficiently monetize their library by identifying which assets need restoration, reformatting, or optimization.

Bitpress, a leading provider of cloud-based media processing automation solutions, has partnered with BBC Studios to analyze and optimize its extensive media library. In just two weeks, Bitpress processed over 90,000 titles, providing BBC Studios with comprehensive insights into the quality and condition of each asset.

BBC Studios' vast catalog included decades of broadcast TV content, featuring multiple aspect ratios, varying specs, outdated meta data. Many of these assets were created using legacy formats and inconsistent standards, making it difficult to catalog, optimize, or monetize them quickly or effectively.
Leveraging VideoPress and its new intelligent catalog analysis offered detailed insights into:

• Color atoms, audio tracks, and sound fields
• Frame rates, aspect ratios, and ad breaks
• Resolution and format specifications

The automated process identified metadata inconsistencies and flagged assets requiring manual QA or reformatting. With this newfound visibility, BBC Studios can optimize or preserve assets with confidence, accelerating their ability to bring content to market.
Revolutionary Media Analysis at Scale

“Bitpress' automation capabilities have redefined how media companies manage and monetize their libraries,” said Morgan Holly, Founding Partner. “Our platform enables large-scale content analysis and normalization in record time, delivering valuable insights that would take months with traditional methods. We’re proud to help BBC Studios maximize the potential of their archive.”
Key Innovations That Made It Possible

• Intelligent Catalog Analysis: Proprietary logging system delivering 38 data points per asset, uncovering metadata inaccuracies and providing precise status reporting.
• Customizable Status Rules: BBC Studios-defined rules flagging content issues with clear status mapping.
• Seamless Integration: API support for audit requests with optional UI modules for simplified asset management and reporting.
• Cloud-Powered Scalability: Secure, scalable processing with AWS cloud infrastructure, enabling fast, reliable analysis of massive content libraries.
