Why Film to Tape Transferring?
DC Video has strategic alliances with high-end telecine facilities, both here in Burbank, California, and also in Dallas Texas, to transfer film to videotape or files. Using state-of-the-art Thompson Spirit Datacines, any and all film formats can be re-mastered to High Definition (HD) or Standard Definition (SD) formats. Whether your film element is a vintage kinescope source, an archive print, or a camera negative, we can provide the professional expertise to have your telecine job finished with the best possible results. Ultrasonic cleaning before transfer is provided as an option also, as are full processing lab services.
Proper planning and execution with every step of the telecine process is essential to correctly handle and plan your 8mm, super 8mm, 16mm, super 16mm, or 35 mm film transfers. Choosing the right path of re-mastering (HD or SD for example) is critical depending on your final usage. Whether to transfer to digital videotape or computer file, and what HD or SD standard, is very important depending on how the finished product will be displayed, or imported into an edit system. But, with proper consultation, the workflow will become clearer, and you will receive what you need for your next step after telecine.
