Why digitise?

Film, video & audio can start to deteriorate in as little as 10 to 15 years. It's inevitable and irreversible. Plus it's becoming harder to find devices to play them. The only way to preserve our media - to monetise it, to share its cultural significance - is to convert it to a digital format.

We're specialists

We've digitised more than 100,000 hours of video and film per year. That's over 17 years of non-stop footage!
