Digitization Kits
Don’t let memories and history disappear - save them with a Digitization Kit.
The Digitization Kit is able to convert both audio and video from old formats (VHS tapes, Camcorder tapes, Hi8, Cassette tapes, LP records, and more) into a digital file (WAV, MP3, or MP4) that you can save to your computer, device, or on to a personal USB Stick.
Each Digitization Kit includes:
- ClearClick 3.0 digital converter
- HDMI cable
- 128 GB USB stick
- A/V composite cable
- Split audio cable (2-to-1)
- Charging block
- USB-C to USB cable
- Carrying case
Note: Digitization Kits require a media player to connect to the converter (VCR Player, Camcorder, Cassette/LP Player, etc.)
Reminder:
- Transfer your digital files to a personal computer, device, or USB Stick to save your data.
- Erase files off the shared USB Stick in the kit before returning.
- The process of digitizing content is 1:1 time ratio and cannot be sped up; give yourself enough time when you start your project to finish.
