Scene Savers had a wonderful time not only attending, but speaking at this year's annual FootageFest in Los Angeles!
It was great to rub shoulders with those in the licensing industry who share the historic content we digitize with the world through documentaries, films, podcasts, and other media.
We were honored to talk about our preservation efforts of the JFK assassination cover for The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza!

DV (Digital Video) was introduced in 1995, and was initially designed to replace older analog formats and become the standard in home video. There are multiple variants of these tapes including: DV, DVCAM, Digital8, HDV, and DVCPro.
The most popular of these was MiniDV which due to it’s small size made it ideal for the new wave of video cameras of the early 2000’s, and made it one of the most popular formats until the shift to starting to record straight to memory cards in the 2010’s.

In 1986 Sony launched D1 videotapes, introducing digital video to the world. D1 is significantly larger than standard consumer VHS tapes, and stored uncompressed component video which used enormous bandwidth.
The format introduced new technology, but was extremely expensive at the time, with large-scale changes in the infrastructure of facilities required. Broadcasters' move from analog to digital wiring eventually led to the phasing out of D1 as Digital Betacam gained prominence.

A popular broadcast format from the 1970s until the early 1990s, U-Matic tapes are now one of the most at-risk video formats.
Scene Savers preps each tape starting with our standard dehumidification process, before sending them through our RTI machine cleaners. Our workflow allows us to digitize tens of thousands of tapes per year, while getting the highest quality transfers possible from every tape.

All film is inspected and prepped by hand prior to digitization. When necessary, we will use our Lipsner Smith ultrasonic film cleaner. It’s the safest, and gentlest method known for cleaning archival film.
The system removes fingerprints and dirt down to micron size, aka “Micro Perfect” by using shockwaves that separate impurities from the film in the cleaning tank before being rinsed at high-pressure with filtered solvent. The film is then dried by high-pressure jets, ensuring no residue or particles are left behind.

EIAJ ½” videotape was one of the very first consumer video formats. Developed in the late 1960s EIAJ became popular as it was adopted by schools, hospitals, and government agencies, which made the technology more affordable and widespread in the early 1970s.
These 50+ year old assets are some of the most at-risk and difficult video formats to transfer, and are only getting harder to preserve as time goes on.
