Join us as we interview James Cole of KLRU-TV as he gives us an insider’s look at the process they used, and the challenges they faced, in preserving the Austin City Limits catalog for future generations. James will tell us how they were able to capture and restore over 4,000 hours of aging videotape, combine it with their existing digital library, and preserve their one-of-a-kind content using the B2 Fireball and B2 Cloud Storage.
