Do you have an archive of Mini-DV or DV Cam tapes storing your precious memories or documentary footage and wish it were in HD?

If so we have the hardware to make that footage look as good as possible and the capacity to bring it to true 16:9 HD resolution.

You can “up-res” the footage yourself with software, but no process will achieve better results than recapturing the footage with a digital standards converter like the Teranex 2D which we have on site. This process is incredible and allows you to turn those old tapes with boxy looking footage into wide screen gold. We can also adjust the frame rates of the footage to comply with the rest of your project if you are using mixed media.

To provide an anecdote from our experience with the Teranex 2D, Co-Director Roger Hill’s documentary was first denied by distributors because the film was originally shot on Mini-DV, and they were looking for true HD quality. After extensive research Mr. Hill and his team purchased the Teranex 2D, recaptured all the footage, reassembled and sent to that same distributor who was blown away by the improvements in quality. They then signed the film to a distribution deal right away.
