XOS Digital, a division of XOS Technologies Inc., will provide newly released XOS Vault technology to NDSU to help the athletics department capture, preserve, tag (with specific game-related data), organize, manage and distribute its collective sports history in digital format.

In its current archives, NDSU has hundreds of hours worth of content in various mediums that encompass print, photo, video, audio and film formats. All of these formats are susceptible to decay and deterioration over time, but by using the XOS Vault technology they will be preserved for decades to come in digital format.

“The XOS Vault allows us to protect our valuable content history in a way that didn’t exist until now,” said Gene Taylor, Bison Athletics director. “We want to ensure that all of our memories, encompassing everything from our greatest victories to our biggest upsets, are forever preserved so that our fans can relive them for generations to come.”

NDSU will send its content in various mediums to XOS Digital to digitize for storage at the XOS Hosting Facility, a highly secured data center in Orlando, Fla. Once ingested, Bison Athletics staff can access the content via a Web portal from anywhere, on or off campus, to search, manage and distribute

XOS has a longstanding history with NDSU. In 2005, XOS Facilities Design and Integration division installed the latest communications technology in the Fargodome football office and it is serving as the department’s audio video design specialist for the Bison Sports Arena. In addition, the school currently uses the XOS Director Football video editing technology, the Vega Basketball video editing system and plans to upgrade to the XOS Thunder Hoops platform this year.
