Betacam Video Tape to Pro-Res Digital Transfers | Oxford UK
Broadcast video digitising and conversion service UK based
Our facilities use professional Betacam video deck VTR’s for analogue and digital playback. We utilise AWS Elemental and Blackmagic decks, which allow rescaling, alongside adjustments for audio and video levels, image and noise reduction, creating a superior transfer for all 8mm, Hi8, VHS, Betacam, U-Matic, SVHS, DV, digital 8 and even Micro DV formats.
Digital Betacam tapes were used in television production. Due to the age of these tapes, they are at risk of deterioration. Our services support clients with National Archive Standard transfers of all Betacam video tapes to include Digital Betacam (aka DigiBeta or D-Beta), Betacam SX and MPEG IMX video tape for both PAL and NTSC standards.
Using International Association of Sound and Audiovisual Archives TC-06 guidelines, we can deliver full preservation copies in FFV1 lossless, 10-bit uncompressed in .mkv or .mov containers, Apple ProRes mezzanine files for editing and viewing H.264/MPEG4 files.
