Nine-V has
five online suites available on three separate floors - all running
Final Cut Pro. Full offline and online editing, professional colour
grading and transmission-ready mastering is available, inclusive
of editor and technical QC check in either HD, PAL or NTSC. The in-house creative team consists of experienced editors and
motion graphic designers capable of handling a full range of
projects - from basic corporate videos to full broadcast HD.
Our
full-time staff, spacious editing rooms and wide range of VTRs
means your television or corporate video projects can be
seamlessly completed under one roof.
We also
provide basic digitizing and "dump-out" services for production
companies / post houses needing access to specific types of VTRs or
formats. Your external hard drives can be brought in for this
type of service.
An extensive
music and sound effects library is available for use by all clients.
Rates for music are quoted based on usage type or destination, but
most corporate projects enjoy complimentary use of the library.
Prices are generally quoted
by the hour for single projects, or as a package for long-form
documentaries, feature films, or multi-episode series.
Tape Transfer & Duplication
All formats and VTRs listed below are in-house, and can be used for digitizing, editing, duplication or dumpouts. Large volume
tape transfers of multi-episode series, including HD downconvering or NTSC-PAL conversion, can usually be turned around within 24-48 hours. We can also combine several VTRs for simultaneous multi-format mastering, direct from disk.
** Large volume mass duplication of disc media (i.e. DVD or VCD) is
quoted on a case-by-case basis, as prices can vary with quantity and printing options. DVD authoring
is charged at a per-hour rate, and can be produced in either PAL or
NTSC.
*** DA88 transfers are available in both directions (e.g. tape to DA88,
and DA88 to tape).
Standards / Aspect Conversion
If you require us to convert between PAL and NTSC, down/up convert from HD, or provide you with an aspect ratio conversion there is a surcharge on top of the transfer fee of $100 per tape for standard definition, and $200 for high definition (regardless of length).
We use the latest Snell & Wilcox motion compensated standards converters and TCE audio processors for the highest, broadcast-quality results available in the industry.
Tape Inspection / QC Check
Broadcast quality control reports are available in both "full" and
"spot" check categories for both standard (SD) and high-definition (HD). A full written report is provided for all audio, video, colour and blanking levels as well
as an acceptability rating.
Voice Over / Narration Recording
Professional sound booth available for recording of VO / Narration / ADRs for commercials, films, documentaries or videos.
We can provide 'cold' voicing to various file/tape formats, and voice to picture for translations or dialogue replacements.

Nine-V provides full, multi-language
subtitling services onto broadcast master tapes or DVDs.
Subtitle lists can be provided in almost any standard text
format including MS Word and Excel. Custom authoring onto DVDs
with menu options is also available.
File-To-Tape Transfer
We can take most major file
formats that
need to be converted and recorded to tape for broadcast
television,or film festival purposes. We also provide animation file assembly, re-editing,
and audio re-tracking services.
Full FCP projects, AVI, Quicktime MOV, TGA, or almost any other file format available can be striped to tape for broadcast.
We also handle direct 3G transfers/conversions from tape or file.

Customers are welcome to supply their own blank media, but
recycled, damaged or blank tape stock older than 3 years will
not be accepted.
