Please let me know.

You spend about $20,000.  No joke, they are expensive.  There are cheaper
older analog ones around that aren't as good.  I have a tape put through
a converter that was real bad, ie, its output is jerky.  It didn't take
into account the 50/60 field difference very well.

This device is not something that the home consumer would have.
