Services we provide

Linear Cycle Productions’ goals are toward the preservation of media that ranges from photographic imagery, audio transcriptions, and video recordings. These forms of media are extracted from what’s known as “legacy” formats, a type of media that was once used to capture the sounds and/or pictures presented, but are no longer utilized in the present era. We are able to transfer the sounds and pictures from their original state to a digital format that can be seen and played back using contemporary elements that show their same presence as captured. 

We can digitize the following media…

Photographs from paper prints

Negatives from 35mm film and other selected sizes and formats

35mm slides and transparencies

Audio from open reel tapes recorded as
1-1/2 IPS, 3-3/4 IPS,
