[OPLINTECH] OPLINTECH Digest, Vol 185, Issue 5

[Michael J. Pope Jr.]

Hi Chad,

We have two Memory Labs that can convert VHS tapes to digital formats.

Our main Memory Lab uses the Ion VCR 2 PC.
https://www.ionaudio.com/vcr-2-pc-vcr2pcx110
The hardware and included software are easy to use and we have received positive feedback from our patrons about it.  Unfortunately, the unit is no longer made but you may be able to find used ones on Amazon and Ebay.

Our Mini Memory Lab uses UCEC All-In-One Video Converter analog to digital video transfer hardware/software.

We have paired this with a VCR we had in stock and like the ION it works well.  Patrons find the software easy to use and if you already have a VCR in stock, it is a much more cost-effective solution.

Before our patrons use our Memory Labs they need to sign up for and attend a virtual Memory Lab orientation that shows them the basics of how the equipment in the lab works and how to use it.  We also created written and video training materials that staff and patrons can reference if they have any questions.

Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any further questions.

Thanks!
