We offer many different formats but the most common are above and priced accordingly. 10bit uncompressed is considered to be National Archive quality and suitable as an original master mezzanine format from which further copies can be made in any format. FFV1 is considered suitable for archiving as a lossless compression format. Apple Pro-Res is a lossy format available in several quality levels and ideal for video editing due to its file sizes. MPEG4 is also lossy but highly efficient and ideal as a digital copy for viewing purposes.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BROADCAST TAPE PRESERVATION
If you have broadcast tapes including Umatic analog composite video recordings, they are recorded in one of three major video encoding systems that exist in the world.
These systems were developed as a means of combining in one signal all the information necessary to broadcast, display, and record video. Although each has a large number of sub variations, the three systems are:
NTSC (National Television System Committee)
PAL (Phase Alternate Line)
SECAM (Séquentiel couleur à mémoire)
Countries and regions throughout the world have at various points in time, and sometimes for geopolitical reasons, adopted one of these analog standards. NTSC is the standard that was adopted within North and Central America and all countries in the Caribbean except Guadeloupe and Martinique.
10 BIT UNCOMPRESSED DIGITAL FILES PERFECT FOR DIGITAL PRESERVATION
Broadcast tapes typically have superior video and sound quality to that of a consumer tape. There are a variety of broadcast tapes we can transfer to 10 bit uncompressed digital files with either AVI or Quicktime codecs.
