Restoration

Video-8 media has a range of tools which may be used to revitalise damaged or deteriorating media.
Digital Vision Noise Reduction (DVNR) systems are employed in both telecine suites and these may be routed for use with any standard definition video format. They are ideal for single-pass applications to reduce noise and grain across material which is consistently defective.
