 We offer a simple, low cost, &apos;one man two camera&apos; solution to record meetings and presentations. One operator sets up both cameras and operates a video switcher cutting between both cameras. This live vision cut is transfered to DVD bypassing the editing process. This ensures we can keep costs low, but still provide a professional video of the event. If needed, we can edit the video at a later date and will quote separately for that service.

<updated>2008-12-12T21:42:47.182+00:00</updated>
<link href='http://www.dsdigitalvideo.tv/Video Production Surrey/FAQ folder/AQ page.html#Can_you_edit_with_old_video_for'/>
<content type='html'>
 Yes, we can handle just about any video format you have, from VHS, Hi8, Umatic or one inch helical scan, all the way up to HD tape and Disk formats. If you have a library of archive footage on old formats it&apos;s worth considering getting them transferred to an up to date format. Tape degenerates over time unless stored in controlled climatic storage facilities. But a more immediate problem is the difficulty of finding facilities with video tape machines to play older video formats. Preserve and extend the life of your archive - get them transfered now!

<content type='html'>
 A TV picture is drawn on your TV screen one horizontal line at a time (scanned). If an image is displayed 720p (or 1080p), then there are 720 or 1080 horizontal lines &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Progressive&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. When lines are drawn or scanned Progressive, they are drawn in sequential order. When all the lines are drawn, you have one TV frame.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If an image is displayed 720i (or 1080i), then there are 720 or 1080 horizontal lines &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Interlaced. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;An interlaced scan draws all the odd lines in the first pass (1st field), then all the even lines in the second pass (2nd field) - 1st and 2nd fields combined make one TV frame.

Disk capacity ranges from 25 GB for a single layer disc, 50 GB for dual layer and 400 GB for sixteen layer discs.

A Blu-Ray DVD player outputs 1920x1080p - thats full High Definition video.&lt;br /&gt;Blu-Ray gets its name from the blue laser used to write/read data to and from the discs.
