The Digital Production Unit has the capacity to digitally capture the following broadcast and consumer videocassette formats:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Video suite equipment\/software:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To reformat original recordings in open reel formats (2″ Quad, 1″ Type C, Sony EIAJ, etc.), the DPU works with professional vendors. Tapes are cleaned as needed prior to digital capture. Repairs and other treatments such as baking may also be carried out in order to address the adverse effects of aging, degradation or damage to the original media and to ensure optimal signal capture during the encoding process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To reformat motion picture materials, the DPU works with professional vendors that provide 2K\/4K scanning services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To reformat audiotape-based materials, the DPU works with professional vendors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
