As soon as we get your films in our studio, we take the following steps:

Step 1.
Cleaning the Films:
Whether you want to put your film to VHS, DVCAM or DVD all films are cleaned and lubricated. This is important because your film is saved from scratches that come in effect as your film passes through the converter. The hair and dust that come by during transfer process are cleaned using pressurized air blow. Your films are examined for any splicing need. We need a smooth transfer of films when passing through the converter. Each roll is passed separately through the machine.

Step 2.
Processing:
The films are processed using Elmo 3CCD converter. Each frame of the film is converted to a video signal and recorded over the desired medium of your choice. We use video signal measuring equipments to measure the brightness and color information in your film and correct accordingly. The process is handled by a trained technician.

Step3.
Mastering:
Once the signal is processed, it can be mastered on
    a. Analogue tape - VHS, Betamax, 8mm, Betacam, Umatic,
   b. Digital tape - MiniDV, DVCAM, DVCPro, Digibeta,
   c. DVD, VCD or CD (AVI, Mpeg, QT)
Mastering on tapes( analogue or digital) is a real-time process.
To make a DVD, you need to make the digital tape master first. And I suggest digital tape master because they can hold more information than VHS. DVD mastering involves more steps than a regular tape mastering process. But you get more quality this way.
In this step we make sure that the video signal that is being generated is clean: we use industrial grade audio/visual cables and recording decks of high S/N ratio.
