Automated media card archiving with Blu-ray drive option
Ovation PUMA offers fast and secure archiving of video, audio and picture evidence gathered on removable flash memory cards and USB data sticks. Ovation PUMA is evidentially secure and was developed in conjunction with the UK Police and meets the Digital Imaging Procedures laid down by the UK Home Office.
The key to PUMA is its simplicity. Once a flash memory card is inserted into PUMA’s multiple card reader, just one button press is all that is required to generate a bit-for-bit master copy of the evidence to a CD, DVD or Blu-ray. Additional working copies are then easily generated, with the option of authoring
Ovation’s FlashBack-2 files to DVD video disk. Once archiving is complete, PUMA can securely erase the
card by over-writing each and every bit of data.
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.
