Abstract

Media researchers frequently need to record and store a huge amount of media content. Until recently, the Department of Communication at the Pompeu Fabra University  in Barcelona handled this problem in an old-fashioned analog and manual way. After migration to iptv, the department designed the MRecIPTV  software to record, store and access digital media content. This solution has transformed the way researchers work, simplifying data collection and analysis. Moreover, MRecIPTV has allowed the creation of a documentary heritage for future research.
