• In an a world…where HD video is normal

Sony

• SD and analog video wonder around inside the vast open space of HD video

Sony

• Horizontal Resolution• Analog 480 lines (maximum)• SD 525 lines• HD 1080 lines

– Bandwidth• SD DV formats use 25 - 270 Mb/s (34 MBytes/s)• HD DV formats use 166 - 995 Mb/s (125 MB/s)

• Now Conservation has–ITU-R.BT601 video601 video capture using a computer

Preservation OptionsPreservation Options 3

Service Bureau– Send artifact to vendor -- loose physical possession– Cost $250-1000 per tape depending on format & output– No control over appearance

• image noise reduction• color corrections• compression or expansion of Luminance (Y) and/or Color (UV)

– Most vendors legalize video as a courtesy

Preservation OptionsPreservation Options 2a

DIY analog video to miniDV or DVCAM transfer–Collections

• 1000 - 20,000 tapes that need transfer• 10, 20 and 30 year old: U-Matic, VHS, Betamax and Hi-8 tape• can’t afford $250+ tape

–Opting to use an inexpensive & available method•(1) transfer to their miniDV camera via Video & Audio IN

– RCA jacks = composite signal

– about $1300, $5-10 per tape

• Value of the process– Failing video tape can be easily migrated– Original cassette in sealed bags for cool storage 40°C– Direct file transfer can be made over Firewire, no loss– DV (5:1) Format still is superior to
