CJK Digital

CJK Digital Preserve your memories! Convert analog to digital media - photos, video, audio, documents. We now have a tax reference and a bank account and everything.

Our aim is to offer a service of converting people's analogue media (photos, audio cassettes, documents, videos) into digital media. Here you can see some of the services we can offer, and some idea of the sort of results that can be achieved. Couple of notes. Firstly, this is really conceived of this as a local company. There are businesses around that you can bundle stuff up and post to them, an

d they'll scan it and return it. I'm conscious of the fact that people may be reluctant to send a load of precious memories in the post to people they've never met. Secondly, while I hope that it makes a little money, or at least covers its costs, the priority is to try and safeguard some of these memories, in consciousness of the fact that a lot of stuff eventually gets tipped into a skip, often with little awareness of how important they may be to someone at some stage in the future.

Well, it's certainly not to make money! It costs far more to design them and post them on our little store than we ever expect to make from them. It's really just for fun and creativity. I genuinely think the products can make people smile, and coming up with the slogans, fonts, images and so on is interesting - and who knows, might be used for something more important in the future.

We've just finished another video project. Some of the videos (VHS-C) were nearly 40 years old - we did manage to get decent video off the tapes, but it gets more difficult each year.

It was another learning experience.

1) Those VHS-C to VHS converters - that allow you (in theory) to stick a VHS-C tape in your VHS player - are useless. I had one - it broke without getting anything off even one tape. I got another one - it broke before I even got a tape into it.

2) ... which means the only way to get stuff off a VHS-C tape is to get a VHS-C camcorder and connect it to something.

3) VHS-C camcorders, like VHS recorders, stopped being made new some time ago. You have to get reconditioned ones.

4) Sending deteriorating analogue video through an HDMI converter is a good way of getting a lot of "blue screens" where the clever electronics basically shrugs and says, "I dunno". Better to send the composite image direct to a computer instead.

5) It's still a privilege to be able to enable people to look back into their past. (Even if a lot of the stuff we recorded 30 years ago was actually pretty boring.)

Let us know if we can help you with video tapes - basically ยฃ20 each to get data off them - slide scanning, photo scanning or other conversions of old media into digital.
