Moving Image
The Center has the ability to transfer and duplicate video among several formats in the three most common video standards: NTSC, PAL, and SECAM.| • | VHS | |
| • | S-VHS | |
| • | Mini-DV | |
| • | Hi-8 | |
| • | 3/4" U-Matic | |

In addition the ability to transfer existing NTSC VHS video footage to the Video CD (VCD, MPEG-1) or DVD (MPEG-2) format for playback on a computer (Macintosh or Windows computer using Quicktime) or DVD player is available. (Note: Discs should work in most DVD players that can read VCD and DVD-R formats.)
