Specializing in digitization and media migration, Preserve South leverages years of industry experience to provide stellar quality on all projects.

From new born digital files to legacy film and tape assets, the team at Preserve South can help develop a content strategy. Our years of experience have shown us that no off-the-shelf product meets all the needs of audiovisual preservation.

Preserve South’s factory trained and factory experienced engineers are experts in the repair and maintenance of nearly every playback deck available. The team of video engineers at Preserve South can clean, align, repair and even rebuild those hard to find VTR parts.

Preserve South also invested in the Lasergraphics ScanStation film scanner. Specifically designed for archival scanning, our 5K scanner can handle multiple film gauges including 35mm, 16mm and 8mm. We scan every project utilizing the 5K sensor which ensures maximum dynamic range and resolution of all scans. We employ the optional 16mm warped film kit for use on films with notable warping and cupping to ensure best possible image capture. Most importantly, the film technicians are industry veterans with over 25 years experience each.

Likewise, the team of media engineers ensure all files are delivered to the exact specifications requested.
