How Sinclair is Using Moments Lab to Gain Insights into their Deep Archives

With a television legacy dating back to the early 1950s, Sinclair Broadcast Group faces a significant challenge: managing a vast collection of magnetic tape and film archives containing millions of discrete, uncatalogued stories. Traditionally, the only way to "see" what’s inside these archives was to digitize everything—an expensive, time-consuming process that often yields low ROI if the content isn't immediately usable.

In a joint approach, Sinclair and the Moments Lab research team developed a technology that gives users deeper insights into content without the need to first digitize it.

Moments Lab is applying groundbreaking work with LLMs and RAG to identify content on archive tapes with the highest potential value for digitization and monetization.
