TONS of tapes...need digital archive solution

Hey Guys,

Well not TONS, but probably a few hundred tapes...

I'd like to get all the footage we have on HDV tape shot by a Canon XL-H1 into a digital format for archive. We plan on meta-tagging the footage and making the clips searchable. It's a huge project, but I'm starting with a solution to get the footage digitized. Price isn't an issue...it just needs to be a clean workflow...I've looked @ the KiPro...it just seems clunky with only 256GB storage modules.

Also, there's an issue with playback of HDV footage with other devices other than the camera itself. I'd guess most of the footage is shot 1080 60i. I can't verify that...but since I took over, that's what it's being shot in. No 24 frame stuff! :)

Anyone have any experience with this? Done it? Doing it? Ideas?
