transfer video tape

reproduction, digitising, migration

We use a mixture of professional and domestic video tape recorders when we transfer video tape to ensure the original analogue tapes play and transfer as accurately as possible.

We also use tools such as waveform monitors, vectorscopes, time base correctors, frame synchronisers, audio delay units and standards converters to migrate analogue video tape to digital formats.
