I work in a television studio and am in charge of making sure that the digital media is working up to par. There is a lot of technical know how involved, but I would have to say that I am in my element dealing with the in and outs of the equipment.

I also get the grand job of going back into the archives to find segments from previous weeks, months and even years that need to be reviewed. This is the most tedious part of my job, because if it was not labeled correctly, I may have to go through hundreds of clips, to find the one I need.

I am trying to work out a labeling system in which you could just do a free search (on a database) and come up with the segments required. This will take a lot of time, as all of the clips will have to be relabeled and organized.

Although the equipment becomes obsolete on a regular basis, you will find nothing for sale here. I thought that maybe one of the perks of the job was going to be to get good deals on old equipment, but sadly, I am not sure what happens to it.
