The objective of the project is to provide technical devices and systems for digital preservation of all types ofaudio-visual collections. The aim is to build-up preservation factories providing affordable services to all kinds ofcollections owners to manage and distribute their assets.The 20th Century was the first with an audiovisual record. Audiovisual media became the new form of culturalexpression. These historical, cultural and commercial assets are now entirely at risk from deterioration.Broadcasters have begun to digitise their large holdings, at high cost and using complex technology.The preservation factory approach aims for an integrated automated solution of sufficient low cost so that thesmall-to-medium collections can be saved through common standardised services.The way to achieve this goal is an integrated approach, to produce sustainable assets with easy access forlarger exploitation and distribution. The key idea is: an accessible item is more valuable than an item stuck on ashelf. Integrated process provides this access, releasing the value that funds the activity.Previous EC Projects like PRESTO demonstrated that saving 50% of preservation work can be achieved.Access requirements include: digitisation in item-sized chunks with item-level metadata, with rights clearanceand rights management, restoration of quality where needed, and effective delivery systems for commercial andpublic access. There are unsolved problems of digitisation, automation, metadata extraction, storage, networkbandwidth, secure interaction, access and end-user delivery. Partial solutions exist, but in general they are notrobust, scaleable or affordable - and definitely not integrated end-to-end within a sustainable commercial model.PRESTOSPACE will push the limits of the current technology beyond the State of the Art, bringing togetherindustrials, research institutes and stakeholders at European level to provide text truncated for the purposes of the ESR
