Audio-Visual Video Tape Digitisation Services in Oxford

Our studio extensivel work with production and heritage companies preparing video tapes to include HDCam, D1 & 2, HI8 and Betcam tapes to Pro-Res digital files or 10-bit uncompressed archive files.

One particular project requires both digitisation and transcoding to several digital outputs, firstly separating section of individual scenes, prepare Pro-Res sections and then provide MPEG4 vewing files before outputing to client hard drives. This is a typical order for our company, and one using our AWS boxes can be prepared within client time frames.

How to Digitise Glass Plate Negatives | Oxford Archiving

The Preservation of The Curnock Glass Plate Negatives Introduction Our services ( @OxfordDuplicat1 ) are highly recommended in the UK for specialist photographic film scanning. Trusted to our company, we are preparing The Curnock glass plate collection, held at Oxford Brookes University and part of the @MethodistGB collection. Almost all archives possess some type of photographic collection. Many individuals typically think of “photographs” as plastic-based negatives and slides; but these photographic techniques are relatively recent inventions.

This meant the original's replica could be matched 100% to the original, safeguarding fraud. What is vellum? Vellum is prepared animal skin or "membrane", typically used as a material for writing or printing on, to produce single pages, scrolls, codices or books. The word is derived from the Latin word vitulinum meaning "made from calf". Typically deeds are folded and stored. Alth...

Preserving Family Memories - caring for your heritage

Memories are an important part of all our lives. Old letters, photographs, scrapbooks, slides and negatives, glass plates, cine film, audio-visual tapes and many other things help us to recall our past and the history of our family and communities. All of these things, however, are subject to decay and eventual destruction if they are not cared for properly. Oxford Duplication Centre in Kidlington can support all our clients with digitisation of all consumers, corporate and heritage scanning and digitisation. Please do email cheryl@oxfordduplicationcentre.com or contact us 01865 457000 to discuss your project. Letters, Diaries, Books and Documents. Many families preserve letters, diaries, or other written documents in which family members discuss their life and times.
