Standard Conversions

If you have relatives abroad and you want to send them a home video or if your business receives training videos that use a different standard then you might find that the tape will not play properly.

This is because countries around the world use different broadcast systems.

UK, most of Europe and Australia use PAL (Phase Alternate Line).
Japan, North America and most of South America, use NTSC (National Television Standards Committee).

France, West Africa, and Ex Soviet Union use SECAM (Sequential Couleur à Mëmoire).

If you would like to send tapes abroad and they need to be converted to that countries standard or if you have received tapes from abroad which need to be converted to the UK standard, then please contact us for our competitive rates.
