Tapes to and from AVI files

If you’re delivering H.264 content for the web, mobile devices, Apple TV, and Blu-ray discs, you know how painful it can be to wait for the long encoding times needed to create high-quality video files using software only. You might even be tempted to sacrifice quality for speed.
With Matrox technology, you no longer need to even consider making that trade off as you can combine speed and quality.

Audio

All types of audio recordings - studio and location

We offer audio recording using broadcast quality stereo microphones and radio mic recording on location to a portable Roland Edirol R4 four channel hard drive recorder Our audio recordings can be post-produced on computer non-linear edit suite for delivery on CD or WAV/mp3 downloadable file.
We specialise in voice-over recording using our Rode large diaphragm condenser microphone and broadcast O2R mixing desk.

Transfer of old format audio tapes to CD

We have extensive experience of archiving and transfer of old audio tapes - and not so old formats like DAT and Mini Disc - to CD. We use the industry standard Revox B77 MK2 for reel tapes, the Nakamichi 480 deck for audio cassette tapes, and the Pioneer D-9601 for DAT.
For Mini Disc we use the Marantz PMD640. All recordings are evaluated by our experienced audio engineer and processed with any EQ dynamics or filters which can be helpful in improving dialogue intelligibility. We can also sometimes reduce tape hiss. using the real-time effects on the Yamaha 02R mixing console.
