Understanding Digitisation and Why You Should Bite the Bullet and Digitise.
So what is this new term that is floating around and one that sits very comfortably with Oxford Digitisation Centre? In its simplest it means the conversion of analogue information into digital information.
Digitisation is a step even greater than the internet! Digitisation is fast becoming imperative where analogue materials are required to be converted to digital in formats that include H.264 MPEG4, MP3, TIFF and PDF’s.
THIS IS WHERE WE COME IN
At Oxford Digitisation we specialise in supporting you with all your ongoing digital conversion needs as the world moves further into online presence.
LOOKING AT THE BIGGER PICTURE
Archives of collections, videos, audio, documents, film and photographic film have great potential to businesses in providing exciting online content, not to mention ensuring you have high quality copies that are kept digitally in case of environmental or age damage.
We can support you with seamless engagement with your online presence through the analogue conversion of all your materials into current digital formats. We then go a step further. We can transcode old or obsolete digital formats into current digital formats.
