TERANEX OR TOPAZ AI UP-CONVERTING / DEINTERLACING & iZOTOPE RX AUDIO SWEETENING :

Unlike software methods for up-converting and deinterlacing, which look at a single frame and often just double a single field (which cuts the vertical resolution in half), Teranex examines adjacent frames to intelligently build pixels. This results in a significantly more detailed image, without anywhere near the amount of "jaggies" you commonly see when blowing up old videos. That's why it is the gold standard for upconverting and deinterlacing, used by broadcasters worldwide.

Our rates for Teranex conversions are far lower than our competitors -- and the quality will be worth it, even if you're just watching the tapes at home on your big screen TV!

Teranex deinterlace/upconvert to HD: $5/hour
Teranex deinterlace/upconvert to 4K: $10/hour
Both native and up-converted: add $5/hour
 
NOTE: add an extra $10/hour for HDCAM, D1, D2, D5, 1" C and 2" Quad.
 
(CALL FOR BULK DISCOUNTS).
 

We can also use Teranex to upconvert digital files! It costs $20/file up to 1 hour for Teranex deinterlacing/upconverting to HD, and $30/file up to 1 hour for 4K ($50 minimum). Please note this is for standard resolutions (eg. D1, DV). For smaller/odd resolution we add a $10 conversion fee.  

TOPAZ AI VIDEO ENHANCE SERVICE: Topaz AI is a VERY render-intensive process, but can use state of the art artificial intelligence to enhance fine details in your video (generally used for masters, and projected footage). A single 1-hour video takes 6 hours to render to 4K. The cost is $149 for each video up to 1/2 hour, plus $125 for each additional 1/2 hour.

iZotope RX Noise Reduction: For an extra $5/tape, add award-winning iZotope RX sound sweetening, which includes de-hum, de-click, de-clip, and vocal de-noise effects.

PROFESSIONAL BAKING SERVICE FOR STICKY SHED SYNDROME (MANDATORY IF YOUR TAPES ARE STICKING) - NEW LOWER PRICE: if any tapes suffer from sticky shed syndrome, they MUST be "baked" (dehydrated) to prevent damage to the tape and deck. There is a $5/day fee for baking. Most tapes will be fine after a 2-day bake, but some have required up to 7 days. We will bake outside tapes (which we are not transferring) for $10 per day (ask about rates for large batches). Ampex, 3M, and Scotch tapes will likely need baking. Maxell and BASF usually will not.

PLEASE NOTE: Many tapes with sticky shed need to be hand rewound. There is a $5 charge for <30 minute tapes, $10 for 60 minute.

iZotope RX Noise Reduction: For an extra $5/tape, add award-winning iZotope RX sound sweetening, which includes de-hum, de-click, de-clip, and vocal de-noise effects.
