Bringing DVCPRO back to life

Two decades of history

Launched in 1995, DVCPRO is one of two professional variations on the industry-standard DV formed used by high-end broadcasters. In plain English, this means that in the last two decades, a significant portion of invaluable broadcast news has been recorded and stored on DVCPRO tapes.

Now that the world is digital, accessing and preserving this historic content is becoming an increasingly pressing concern for those that hold DVCPRO in their archive. It’s now been five years since Panasonic stopped selling equipment using videotape, rendering the content held on these tapes inaccessible.
