We transfer and convert U-matic video tapes to MP4 and AVI files for playback or editing.

Umatic tape and decks

U-Matic was popular with the business and broadcast TV sectors due to the fact that it was the first professional video system contained within a cassette, as opposed reel to reel recorders. It remained in common use up to the early 1990's

We have a fantastic collection of professional U-Matic player/recorders including a Sony BVU-950.

We transfer all variants and standards of Umatic video including

PAL
NTSC
SECAM
Low Band Umatic
High Band SP Umatic

The two High Band variants are known as BVU and BVU-SP (or U-Matic SP) respectively. The second one records and plays differently to the first and as such U-matic tapes recorded in BVU and BVU-SP formats cannot normally be played on Low Band decks.

U-matic AVI Files

AVI transfers for U-matic post-production

U-matic material can be captured as an AVI working file when it needs to be reviewed, recut or incorporated into a modern production workflow.

Professional U-matic recordings generate large files, so an external hard drive with ample free space is the preferred delivery medium.

U-matic Transfer Cost

U-Matic tapes can be up to being 60 minutes long. We charge £50 for a single tape regardless of how long it is. U-matic clients may choose MP4 for reference viewing or AVI for a higher-quality file suited to professional editing. If you need help with editing, please contact us.
