Quality control for tape dropouts and physical damage. |
|
Verifying the actual length of the videotape. |
|
Checking the mechanical condition of the cassette. |
|
Polishing the tape surface, decreasing wear on recorder heads. |
|
Cleaning the tape surface, minimising contamination of the recorder heads. |
Before recording Timecode and Blackburst signals videocassettes are subjected to
the following procedures:

|
Saves time and manpower for your organisation. |
|
Saves equipment from un-necessary wear and tear, resulting in lower maintenance costs and prolonged life of expensive video heads |
|
Every tape is recorded full-length with standard LTC/VITC timecode. Timecode start time can be customised if 00:00:00:00 is not your required standard. |


|
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. |
