Professionalism meets passion
We bring your analogue treasures into the digital world
Digitalisation of all sorts of different formats is a fundamental core element of what we do. Converting analogue and digital content to current technical standards is both exciting and challenging, making continual interaction with the client essential. Whether it be historical film gems, analogue video or audio tapes with unique recordings, all formats are entitled to be backed up or published. The focus here is on preservation of the audio-visual heritage, which can subsequently be refined through post-processing.
Film scanning

The enormous variety of formats as well as the increasing demands in respect, for instance, of high levels of resolution, picture stability and optical quality call for excellent film scanners. The film material is a valuable asset that experiences a best possible level of protection as it is being digitalised by our scanners. It is certainly possible here to optimise the desired result through the purposeful additional use of a wet gate.

Digital restoration

Depending on the condition of the material, there are almost no limits to what is possible when it comes to digital restoration. How to proceed in terms of technical, scientific and economic possibilities is therefore weighed up in advance with the client in order to achieve the greatest possible authenticity. Regardless of resolution, the implementation is done on the most suitable system for the requirements, e.g. HS-Art’s Diamant or Digital Vision’s Phoenix Finish.

Grading

Our grading suites are equipped with Nucoda and DaVinci colour correctors. The extensive technical equipment naturally also includes 4K HDR reference monitors and, for cinema productions, a 4K laser phosphor projection system. Our colourists have expertise in both fields gained over many years. The spectrum here extends from historical productions, via fiction, documentaries and TV series, all the way to concerts for VOD.

A.D.A.M. high-volume digitalisation

Sometimes it simply has to be done quickly. For this we make use in Leipzig of a robot-assisted development that has been customised and adapted to our needs. In a defined workflow that includes cleaning, digitalisation and technical quality control, the A.D.A.M. system takes care 24/7, 365 days a year of processing a multitude of analogue or digital video tapes and transferring them over as a digital product.

Digitalisation/transfer

Preserving the content of audio-visual storage devices is an important task. Play-out systems are no longer being made, replacement parts are in the main scarce. In the case of older analogue video and audio tapes especially a transfer to digital target formats is urgently needed if the danger of losing the content is to be avoided. We take on this responsibility and keep a multitude of devices of various different video and audio formats in stock for digitalisation.
Media storage

As a service provider we support our clients not only with the digitalisation and editing of productions. Some requirements also lead to temporary or relatively long-term storage of the physical source material or the digital target media. For this purpose we have available on our premises not only storage capability within the building, but multiple special containers outside as well.
