REAL-TIME MOTION COMPENSATION VIDEO ARCHIVE PROCESSING A real-time restoration system with the ability to correct artifacts using motion compensation. Cleans up, fixes and stabilizes, in real-time, any video material that has deteriorated or been damaged, either by age or other factors. Typical material can be restored within two or three times its running length. And the end result is often better than when it was first shot. Until now this level of restoration quality could only be achieved by laborious, time-consuming and expensive processes. Consequently, a lot of material remains un-restored because, although potentially useful, it is not valuable enough to warrant such expenditure. Now virtually anything can be treated - not just high-value footage - at a cost far less than frame-by-frame restoration. Depending on what is required to get a stable & clean picture & audio. Cost is on a per hour basis and would be calculated upon inspection of the videotape.

MINIMUM CHARGE $75.00 TO $100 PER HOUR
