Hardware UP-SCALING From Standard Definition to HD 1080p
NOW OFFERING Hardware UP-SCALING from Standard Definition to HD 1080p of Beta Cassettes, MiniDV cassette, Hi8/Digital8/Video8 and VHS tape to HD 1080p.
Cost: $22.50/hr of video.
Due to the higher resolution and post-processing, this CAN take longer on orders depending on the length of the tape/number of tapes in the order. The better the condition of the video tape, the better the picture.
NOTE: The end result may not always be the pristine pin-point sharp picture as if it was right off of a blu-ray disc as many factors come into play- particularly the age of the video tape/etc. Yet this DOES give a notably better re-production of the tape- particularly when watching on larger TV screens. The resolution from most Video Cassettes as we know them was anywhere from 320 X 240 (early video cassettes, 4 x 3), 640 X 480 (later video cassettes (4 x 3) or 720 x 480 (16 x 9) when widescreen was introduced.
The Hardware upscaler is in between the tape’s player and the computer while on record, giving either the resolution of 1440 X 1080 (upscaled from 320 x 240 or 640 X 480) or 1920 X 1080 (upscaled from 720 x 480.)
