"When we needed a real time video processor with an efficient and intuitive user interface for our restoration services, we decided to go for equipment from Digital Vision. We have good experience of the DVNR. The new features of Valhall met our requirements and nicely fits in our restoration process," says Jean-Jacques Dessaux, Operations Manager at INA's archives department.
"We have a long and good relationship with INA and are very pleased that they chose to invest in equipment from us," says Per-Olov Essehorn, Sales Director at Digital Vision.
