We offer Digital Video for the Internet Age

Digital video offers many advantages over other video formats such as VHS or Hi-8. Digital video (DV) is comparable to professional video formats like Beta, and offers twice the resolution of VHS.

• DV offers superior images and sound. Not only is the video quality better, so is the color accuracy of the video image. DV audio is also much higher quality. DV provides CD quality audio recorded at 48 KHz with a resolution of 16 bits.
• No generation loss. There is no loss of quality when copying or transferring DV. Therefore your production will maintain its high quality. Digitization occurs in the camera, eliminating generational loss inherent to analog video.
• All this translates to high quality, professional looking and sounding video productions.
