Audio Cassette Digitizers



 Click Here to reserve a Audio cassette digitizer  This unit converts audio cassette tapes to a variety of digital formats. This is done in real time -- 30 minutes of audio will take 30 minutes to capture. The digital files are stored directly onto a USB drive. While monitoring the audio with headphones during the session, family history work can be completed on a computer.





Video Tape Conversion Stations   



Equipment is provided to capture, in real-time, video from VHS, Compact VHS (VHS-C), 8mm, Hi8, and MiniDV cassette tapes. The captured video files will be in MP4 format and will be transferred to the guest's personal USB drive to take home. A two-hour video will need about 4G of USB storage. Guests can bring their own video camera and cables for maximum compatibility. Other video tape formats can also be captured with the guest's video camera/player and the cables to connect to a TV set (yellow, red, and white RCA cables or S-Video cable). The video tape can be split into smaller topic-based files during the conversion - birthday party, vacation, graduation, etc. The result is small subject-based videos that can be uploaded to Social Media (Facebook), loaded on a phone, or easily shared with family & friends. While the digital video files will provide the best option to play and share video memories, a DVD can be created during the conversion if needed. Please bring blank DVD discs (DVD+R or DVD-R types). Recommended brands are Verbatim DVR+R or DVD-R 8x, Maxwell DVD+R 4x/8x/16x or DVD-R 8x/16x, Sony DVD+R 4x/8x/16x, TDK DVD+R 4x/8x/16x.
