ChatGPT said: At AHMED STUDIO, we believe that clients have the right to know what happens behind the scenes. That’s why we share glimpses of our work and equipment on our official Instagram account. Our constant focus is to deliver the highest possible quality in every conversion and archiving process. We use the latest specialized software and systems for video management and broadcasting, allowing us to handle uncompressed files and process video signals with very high precision. We rely on professional players and signal synchronization and processing equipment to ensure that audio-visual materials are extracted from the source in the best possible way, preserving every detail. All the equipment we use is classified as Professional Grade, specifically designed for professional archiving environments that demand accuracy, stability, and top-quality results.

Some providers rely on consumer-grade equipment for home or personal use, which uses low-quality USB connections. Others use professional-grade equipment designed for the professional sector, featuring integrated devices and specialized connections.

To answer this question, we must first clarify a few important points: The short answer is: Yes, old tapes can be converted to a higher display format, but the question is, is it effective? No. And often, those who offer this service use the term for marketing purposes only. Technically, their actual quality cannot be raised to HD. Old tapes, such as VHS and Hi8, typically have a low native resolution, ranging from 240 to 720 . Trying to "upscale" them to 1080p (Full HD) technically means creating new pixels to fill the gap, which is impossible because the source material doesn't contain that level of detail. It's true that some tricks exist to attempt to "improve" the image, but they often lead to distorting the original content and producing unrealistic results that are far from the historical truth of the material. It's important to note: using HDMI cables or devices with HD outputs during the conversion process does not mean the resulting video will be HD quality. All that happens is the image dimensions are expanded without actual quality improvement, which can give the viewer a false impression. This kind of manipulation is entirely rejected in the field of digital archiving and is considered a violation of professional ethics, as it involves visual falsification that can negatively affect the accuracy and authenticity of the historical material. At Ahmed Studio, over the years, we have conducted many practical experiments using professional equipment and techniques to achieve the best possible result that faithfully preserves the original source quality, without fabrication or exaggeration.

The tapes will be collected from your doorstep. And we'll return them to you once they are finished, also to your doorstep (free shipping). We provide shipping service in all cities in Saudi Arabia, as well as in the Gulf countries.

This is an important question, and the answer depends on the level of equipment used by the store that performed the conversion. If their capabilities were limited and they relied on non-professional equipment or software, then the result will likely be insufficient, and it is recommended to re-convert using specialized gear. As a customer, you can inquire about the type of cables, playback devices, and capture cards used to ensure the service's efficiency. In the field of archive digitization, it is not enough just to transfer the image and sound; the finest details must be recorded and the original colors preserved. This is what professional solutions provide, ensuring that every bit of the tape's content is faithfully saved. This is especially important because what you have is not just casual recordings, but a valuable archive and precious memories that must be saved correctly once to last forever and be passed on to future generations in the best possible form.
