Ovation PUMA Automated Media Card Archiving
Ovation PUMA is a rugged, automated, media card archiving system that has been developed in conjunction with the UK Police and meets the Digital Imaging Procedures laid down by the UK Home Office. Ovation PUMA offers fast and secure archiving of video, audio and picture evidence gathered on removable flash memory cards and USD data sticks. |
 |
The key to PUMA is its simplicity. Once a flash memory card is inserted into PUMA’s multiple card reader, just a few button presses are all that is required to generate a bit-for-bit master copy of the evidence to a CD or DVD, with optional data verification. PUMA can then burn a number of working copies that are processed and authored for ease of playback as required by the user. This type of archiving operation using a standard PC requires a number of software packages, specialist training and is potentially evidentially insecure. With PUMA, handling and archiving of highly sensitive media card evidence is now quick and easy, requiring minimal operator training.
| PUMA has been very well received by the UK police and won second place in the 2009 Equipment Technology and Innovation Awards organized by the UK’s Home Office Scientific Development Branch. |  |
