Would you look at this… it’s been a long time – well more like never for me.. It has been a long time scene MVT transferred a 2 inch reel. But that’s okay because we work with the best vendors for transferring vintage formats.
2 inch Quadruplex (also called 2 Quad, or just quad, for short) was the first practical and commercially successful videotape format. It was developed and released for the broadcast television industry in 1956 by Ampex.
Its kind of interesting to see what use to be high tech, but man are these heavy and bulky – not to mention pricy too – I looked them up online its over $250 for a one hour tape.
I’ve included a few pictures to share with because I know if I have seen one of these I know you have not. We just picked up 31 one hour reels to transfer. Enjoy!!
And if you have an old formats: 1 inch, 2 inch, M2, beta, Hi8, Film, 8mm, 16mm, super8 gives a call at 714.424.9974 – we will be happy to transfer them to what ever format you would like. We transfer a lot of old home videos to DVD, and to broadcast formats like betacam and digibeta for our clients.
