    Our Technology

    Master-Grade Extraction.

    Not all tapes are created equal, so we don't treat them that way. For analog formats (like VHS, Betamax, and Hi8), we utilize broadcast-grade S-Video paths to extract the purest signal possible. For digital formats (like MiniDV and Digital8), we perform a flawless bit-for-bit data extraction, ensuring a perfect clone with zero generational loss.

    Every capture is instantly encoded into a ProRes intermediate Master file, ready for our neural networks to upscale to brilliant 1080p or 4K while strictly maintaining the original frame rate for natural motion.

    Precision Extraction

    We use broadcast-grade S-Video paths for analog and raw data bit-streams for digital, capturing every pixel the tape has to offer.

    ProRes Mastering

    Your memories are preserved in professional-grade containers. Using an intermediate lossless stage gives our AI a pristine canvas.

    Smart De-Interlacing

    We seamlessly convert old interlaced TV fields into smooth, progressive frames, removing jagged edges for perfect playback on modern screens.

    Frame-by-Frame AI

    Our neural networks don't just stretch pixels; they reconstruct them one frame at a time for genuine clarity without artifacting.

    I sent in a mixed box of VHS, Betamax, and camcorder tapes — wasn't even sure what some of them were. Capture identified every format and the digital files came back looking incredible.

    Had a stack of MiniDV tapes from my college film projects. The 4K upscale brought out details I never even noticed on the original playback. Absolutely worth it.

    Found a box of Hi8 tapes from our family vacations in the 90s. The quality was better than I expected and the whole process was painless. Highly recommend.

    I had no idea what format my old tapes were. I sent them in and the team identified everything for me. Great communication throughout the whole process.
