VidiPax™ can perform standards conversions to and from PAL and SECAM with VHS, U-Matic, Beta SP, and 1” Type C.

If a tape is restored at VidiPax™ and a preservation or working copy is made, VidiPax™ offers a discounted duplication cost when additional screening or viewing copies are needed from the master in the future.

Tape Repair

It is difficult to play back a tape that has been physically deformed to a significant extent. VidiPax™ can inexpensively replace reels and cassette housing, and re-spool and repair ripped tape and leader. Since magnetic tape is not designed to be “spliced” and the splices will not reliably hold up after continued use, we recommend that the tape be duplicated after it is repaired.

We do not attempt to flatten kinked or buckled tapes because of the risks of additional damage and the limited chances of success.
