Checking Master / Archive videocassettes
Storage of Master / Archive videocassettes

Before playing or copying an aged (archived) videocassette we recommend that the original is first checked and cleaned.

Our checking and cleaning process will remove dust, dirt and potential loose particles of emulsion that can lead to playback problems.

An original videocassette that has been cleaned in this way will always result in an improved quality copy.

Valuable archive material can be protected by storing the specific master videocassette (or a copy of the original) in a separate, dedicated, secure and/or environmentally controlled) location.

This will significantly reduce the risk of losing valuable and/or historic recordings.
