Evaluation Overview
Together we can reduce your video tape budget AND improve your quality control.
How many times has a video tape failed on you? How many times have you had to settle for an inferior take in order to work around a glitch?
If the answer is never, then you are only one tape away from knowing what this harrowing experience is like.
If the answer is once, then we both know that this is once too many.
So, how can we prevent that from happening AND reduce your costs?
The cheapest tape is the one you already own. And the safest tape is the one you already know.
Did you know: Betacam, Digibeta, DVCam, HDCam, and ALL formats of tape are DESIGNED TO BE EVALUATED?
And what's more, each time they are evaluatled, they are cleaned to an AS NEW condition, which saves your camera and machine heads from clogging, and prevents large repair bills.
We were once called and asked whether we recycled video tape. Confirming this emphatically we were then asked whether we turned those video tapes into coat hangers … Just another misconception of our recycling service.
What we really do is erase the tape, and physically evaluate its surface, clean the box and remove all the labels, then return it to you in pristine condition. You can choose to have them returned with your own labels, or CVA labels or no labels at all.
Every single tape that you evaluate with us is returned to you with a print-out, which is an overview of the physical condition of the tape surface. So you know before you put the tape into a machine that it is 100% defect free, something you can NEVER guarantee with a brand new tape.
The cost of evaluating a tape the way it is designed to be evaluated is usually less than a third of the cost of buying it new - that's over 60 PER CENT you will save on your tape budget.
