AV Preservation Services About - Video Transfer @ National Boston

About Video Transfer

Tape Based at Birth

Long before Video Transfer started offering AV Preservation Services, it began as an audio and video tape duplicator in the suburbs of Boston in 1986.

From the beginning, Video Transfer’s success depended on an ability to reproduce content from master tapes regardless of the media format. As it grew, Video Transfer steadily amassed an array of video and audio tape equipment for all formats and world standards.

The company’s success led to an expansion into optical disc replication, TV ad distribution, technical evaluation for broadcast, and closed captioning.

AV Digitizing for Tomorrow

Originally known as multimedia, Video Transfer’s entrance into file based audiovisual content began with encoding Video CD’s, DVD’s, and video for the web.

In 2009, Video Transfer became a proud part of the National Boston family. This added National’s renown color-corrected film transfers to our services.

Today, our services for audiovisual archivists rest on a solid foundation of accurately reproducing content from all media formats. Add to that our experience generating and incorporating metadata and you have Video Transfer.
