Long lost treasures

EachMoment haven't just 'unlocked' the memories on the tape, they've also cleaned up the sound and picture, boosted the volume and the running speed is now correct. It's like stepping back in time, our dearly departed parents and other relatives - then so young - each having a turn at talking, singing at the camera. It sends warm shivers down the spine!

Last night I heard my grandmother's…

Last night I heard my grandmother's voice reading a Christmas poem for the first time in over 30 years. She passed away in 1990, and after her death I found a cassette tape, mangled in a tape player. I kept it, hoping one day to find a way to restore it. EachMoment restored that tape, and this year on the day of her birthday, her great-grandchildren will hear her voice for the first time, and her children, now grandparents themselves, will hear their mother's voice again as well. There are no words that can adequately express my gratitude. Last night I heard my grandmother's voice reading a Christmas poem for the first time in over 30 years.

Excellent service

It is very easy to place an order as everything is organised by EachMoment. I ordered the digitisation of a large quantity of old Super 8 Cine film, Video 8 tapes, VHS tapes and photographic negatives. The process took about 3 weeks due to the quantity but it was well worth waiting for. I was absolutely delighted by the results and I feel reconnected with my past and people who were in my life as far back as the early 1950s. Incredible !

A lot of videocam footage transferred quickly.

I needed to get a lot of videocam cassette footage transferred as a surprise for a 70th birthday at relatively short notice. The team were very helpful when approached and were able to get me online access to the 39 tapes before I received the USBs so I could select specific videos for the party. One tape was also returned and cleaned up very quickly when it was found to have some tracking interference. We now have some great memories restored to share with the family and our grandchildren.

A: It's perfectly normal to be unsure about the content of older tapes, especially with archives! Here's our approach:

1. Full Refund for Blank Tapes: If a tape is completely blank, you'll automatically get a full refund for its digitization cost.

2. We Digitize All Recoverable Footage: If there's any recoverable footage, we'll digitize it, no matter:

* How long or short the recording is.

* Whether it's unlabeled or the origin is unknown.

* If there are mixed recordings or multiple events on one tape.

Many clients have rediscovered lost professional projects, historical events, and personal memories. Our restoration can even reveal details and improve clarity not easily seen during original playback.

4. Physical Repairs: We perform repairs like re-splicing broken tapes or addressing stiffness.

5. High-Quality Digitization & Quality Checks: After restoration, tapes are digitized with care, and files undergo quality control.

No Extra Restoration Charges: Basic restoration is included in our standard pricing. If a tape is beyond recovery (less than 1% of cases), you'll get a refund. We recommend digitizing your tapes sooner rather than later for the best chance of preservation.

How long does Betacam digitization take?

A: We offer two options:

What professional equipment do you use, and why is it important?

A: We use industry-leading, broadcast-quality equipment for the best results and long-term preservation. Key components include:

* Professional Betacam VTRs: We use top-tier, regularly serviced Betacam VTRs like the Sony Betacam SP BVW-75 and Sony Digital Betacam DVW-M2000P. These offer superior signal processing, playback stability, and reduced noise compared to consumer-grade VCRs. They have a built-in Time Base Corrector (TBC) to stabilize the video signal, correcting errors, eliminating jitter, and reducing artifacts.

* High-Resolution A/D and D/D Converters: We use professional A/D and D/D converters (from Blackmagic Design and AJA Video Systems) for accurate signal capture. These have high bit-depth and precise sampling rates, minimizing quality loss and preserving detail and colour.

* Frame-by-Frame Capture: We capture each frame individually, allowing for detailed quality control and optimization. This enables advanced restoration and targeted corrections.

* DaVinci Resolve Colour Grading: We use DaVinci Resolve (industry-standard software) for colour correction, grading, and finishing. This lets us fine-tune colour balance, contrast, and brightness, revitalizing colours and enhancing the appearance to match the original recordings as closely as possible.
