[QuadList] Image Capture - IVC Recovery (Was AMPEX VR-5100 WILL IT PLAY OTHER MACHINES TYPE A TAPE) NOW image quality

[Charles Park Seward]

Hi Steve,

The decoder takes analog NTSC and converts it to component digital. Both are two fields interlaced video (29.97). After it is decoded, you can convert the video to a progressive format if desired. As a general rule, I suggest to clients to leave it as an interlaced format if viewing on a TV set but to convert it to progressive if viewing on a computer.

Best,
Park
