HD Film transfer service - Wellington, Lower Hutt

Our services cover ULTRA HD cine films scanning as well as slide & negatives for 35 mm

Why is it better and what can we do for you?

Films have a very high optical resolution. It is way better than a standard format video. A Standard 8 from the 50s in good condition can easily be scanned for HD display. The real difficulty is to extract all the information of every single frame.

To reach details of about 5 microns (size of a blood cell) we use dedicated lenses and super high resolution CCD sensors. It does translate into a measured scanning resolution from 2500 up to 4000 dpi depending on your film format.

Why settle for DVDs when better technology is within reach without compromise ?

DVDs are a thing of the past. They were designed for TVs prior to flat screens at a resolution way below our scans. Without getting too much into details, DVDs are now what VHS tapes were to DVDs. Time to move on with AVCHD / MP4 files and the the now very promising H265 codec.
