 | Vinyl LP records or your audio cassettes to MP3's or to Audio CD's |
| VHS tapes to DVD's (Home Video VHS tapes not Commercial VHS tapes) |
| 35mm slides to JPG's |
All conversions are done in real-time so if you have a 2-hour VHS tape to convert you will need a 2-hour appointment.
We have mentors available to help you. We welcome anyone who wishes to train to become a Mentor in the A/V Studio -- email us at Beverlytbcs@gmail.com. We could use the help.
To make an appointment for the A/V Studio please send an email to the Club Secretary.
We do have a few rules about the Studio:
| You MUST have an appointment to be in the room. |
| No one is permitted to add equipment or modify ANY of the wiring or hardware. |
| Please do NOT ask people in our Clinic to admit
you to the studio. They are instructed NEVER to do so. |
It took a lot to create, engineer, test, and prepare all of the hardware and software that we use in the center. We insist that you be trained in its proper usage before you are trusted to work on your own.
