Tapeless back-up and support
Accidents happen, but accidents involving the loss of footage can be very costly. We are able to provide a back-up service for footage recorded onto P2 and SxS cards. The same technology can also be offered with a shooting kit to aid in the safe backing up of precious raw footage.
We are also looking to provide longer term storage options for drama and documentary shoots where a fast, overnight back-up solution will help keep footage safe until the edit.
