Virtual VTR

Earn more by discarding your VTR

Use AmberFin iCR as a ‘Virtual VTR’.

With productivity and cost savings as important as ever is using a VTR the right approach today?

There are clearly good reasons why the video tape recorder (VTR) has been a mainstay of the film, broadcast and video content industries for years.

It is a familiar piece of equipment which is simple to use and rarely leads to errors. The problem is that it doesn’t exactly improve the efficiency of your operations.

However, if you are still relying on VTRs for temporary content storage, repeated play, recording live feeds, viewing, sound editing, dubbing or as a source for linear editing, we may have some good news for you.

You can now have a system that is just as easy and error-free to use as a traditional VTR, but which doesn’t create the same bottlenecks: the AmberFin iCR.
