CONVERT DVCAM TAPES TO DIGITAL FILES
DVCAM is a Digital Video format, similar to MiniDV and DVCPRO, which was introduced by Sony in the 1990’s geared towards the amateur filmmaker.
Unfortunately, magnetic tape degrades and deteriorates over time. If you still have video footage trapped on obsolete DVCAM cassettes, now is the time to have us digitise them for you. With many years of experience in the digital conversion business, we’re experts at digitising broadcast tapes, including converting DVCAM to digital.
