📺 What you're seeing below

Each clip shows the same footage in three versions: the original digitised result (what you'd get with standard digitisation), standard restoration (colour correction and noise reduction), and AI Full HD enhancement (upscaled to higher resolution for a dramatically better result on modern TVs). Use the selectors below each clip to see what your total upgrade cost would be — this is exactly what your personal preview will look like.

🎬 Want to see this on YOUR footage?

This is exactly what your personal preview will look like — except with your own footage. Once we've digitised your tapes, we'll set up a private preview page showing your actual content in all three versions so you can make an informed decision about enhancements.

It's free, takes us about 15 minutes to set up, and there's absolutely no obligation to add any enhancements.
