RESTORATION |
With production and post production focusing more on digital solutions, the Restoration and Preservation of non-digital content have arguably become among the most important challenges faced by the film and television industries.
Today, opportunities abound for content owners to bring to market assets that can capture new generations of viewers. Whether working with classic films in black and white, or cultural artefacts from the last few decades or even today, it’s vital to respect the medium and restore or preserve the content while maintaining its intrinsic produced quality.

Picture Restoration
- Your assets are a valuable commodity, and we can help you carefully restore your irreplaceable media. We specialize in the restoration and re-mastering of classic film and video titles for broadcast, international sales, and Blu-ray/DVD release. We are experts in the handling of delicate historical media: our artists master techniques to remove dust, reduce grain and correct colour and scratches, etc. They carefully correct original images before recreating a master copy.
Sound restoration
- From a digitized version of your magnetic band, we can harmonize level, clean, remaster to 5.1 or Stereo mix, reduce noise and re-synch the soundtrack to the image before rerecording the restored version in a high-definition format.
