Your tapes are put into a professional broadcasting deck, adjusting it to suit the tape. Analogue noise spoils the digital recording. We reduce this by passing an uncompressed 10bit signal through the Teranex, we also clean up the edges for full screen viewing, and record to an intermediate broadcast quality file (ProRes) to capture all of the image quality.

In the next step we ingest the files into our Davinci edit system, this is where we make further adjustments and render the file out to a best quality MP4 file or ProRes file.
