WHAT FORMAT DO I GET THE VIDEOS?
Videos will be MP4 (Mpeg4), which is the most versatile and commonly used video file format on the internet. However we can create any file format you need, just add the file format you require in the checkout notes
HOW DO YOU DIGITISE TAPES?
We digitise a range of tape formats using professional tape decks, time base correctors, high-end converters and digital video capture cards. Essentially taking any analogue video, like a Standard Definition VHS tape, playing it through a professional broadcast VCR, then output through a time base corrector (to stabilise and clean the video), to a digital video capture card. The result is a high quality video file.
WHAT TECH DO YOU USE?
We use Professional Super VHS (S-VHS) decks with a time base corrector for the best analogue signal capture possible. We then digitally convert that signal using a video capture card. We also use various other video capture cards, vhs decks, convertors, up scalers and external time base correctors.
