Your tapes are put into a professional broadcasting deck, adjusting it to suit the tape. Analogue noise spoils the digital recording. We reduce this by passing an uncompressed 10bit signal through the Teranex, we also clean up the edges for full screen viewing, and record to an intermediate broadcast quality file (ProRes) to capture all of the image quality.
In the next step we ingest the files into our Davinci edit system, this is where we make further adjustments and render the file out to a best quality MP4 file or ProRes file.
Most Tape Formats Supported
Formats include Hi8, 8mm, DV both Mini and Large, HDV, VHS-C, VHS, SVHS, DV CAM, Digital Betacam, Betacam SP, U-Matic, Micro MV. If you are not sure of the format of your tapes, that is no problem. Get in touch on 0191 286 9800 where we will be happy to advise you.
Scaling to HD and UHD
We can also upscale SD and HD video to HD and UHD through the Teranex and record 10bit ProRes or MP4 files for improved viewing or edit ready files for archive tapes.

Jemma Watts26/01/2024TVV are great to work with, they are very friendly and polite. They treated my film with such care and the turnaround on delivery was quick and efficient. I'll always send my film to them.
Peter Medcalf22/01/2024I used TVV to transfer some precious transparencies and mini videotapes into a digital format. I was delighted with the care taken and the quality of the footage I got back. It didn’t take long to have my original images returned along with the digital storage record. I won’t hesitate in using TVV again for other transparencies and films that I need to convert to a digital format.
