The system recorded over 100 megabits per second, continuously.: 3 As of August 2011[update], BBC Redux contained 300,000 hours of recorded audio and video.
BBC Redux content was migrated to BBC Archive Search after the project was discontinued. The remaining Redux recordings currently available on BBC Archive Search are the most recent broadcasts of programmes that the service recorded prior to being shut down. All recordings from non-BBC channels were removed shortly after the launch of BBC Archive Search.
As part of the European Union (EU) "NoTube" project running between 2009–12, a recommendation research system using Lonclass categorisation and Tanimoto coefficient matching was tested by the BBC R&D Audience Experience team and integrated with 23,000 recordings delivered from Redux. The matching dataset was gathered over a period of five months.
For a BBC Digital Media Initiative (DMI) demonstration entitled "Million Minutes", files from the BBC's D-3 video tape archive were imported into the Redux system during 2009–2010. This also used commercial software from Artesia Digital Media Group and involved creating a representational state transfer (REST) interface onto the content stored within Redux.
In January 2012, the BBC's Multimedia Classification team announced they were hoping to test and add "mood-based navigation" to the existing BBC Redux interface, along with audience measurement and other rich metadata comprising work part-funded by the Technology Strategy Board. During 2010–2011 BBC Research and Development integrated content archived in BBC Redux with the BBC's existing internal BBC InFax system, allowing finding of metadata and archive content within the same browser window, covering news and subtitles from over the previous five years.
During March 2012, the Atlas index changed the method of equivalence matching used for indexing against BBC Redux.
