Our Services

Digital Preservation and Archiving

Global Video has digitized tens of thousands of hours of film, video and audio tape.

Clients projects included preserving family legacies, re-purposing rock bands concert footage and monetizing corporate video tapes and slides. All projects had one thing in common, they were all unique with difficult workflow considerations and technical challenges.

We also provide evaluation, data recovery and rescue from failing hard drives, disks and older media formats.

Tape Restoration & Baking Services

Luckily, something can be done to improve the quality of the tape and avoid the damaging effects to the playback equipment.  The process of “baking” the tapes will remove the moisture from the urethane binder and therefore remove the stickiness of the tape.  Baking is a very controlled process in which you need to avoid overly high temperatures and exposure to damaging magnetic fields.  In other words, don’t just throw your tapes in the oven!  Attempting the baking process at home could permanently damage your tapes, so it is important to have them restored by professionals such as Global Video Services-Chicago.
