Tape Preparation and Cleaning Preservation

BAVC evaluated four tape-preparation methods (no preparation, washing, baking, cleaning machines) and chose to adopt tape-cleaning machines, postponing washing and baking until after implementing the machine method. The organization selected a Recortec VTE-200 (located less than sixty miles from BAVC in San Jose, CA) based on a 1982 NASA report and a 1985 Video Networks article by Sharon Grace; the VTE-200 uses tissue, slotted metal grids with vacuum, a sapphire block and a vacuum chamber to minimize tape tension. In 1995 BAVC tested up to 20 Recortec passes recorded to Betacam SP with no detectable degradation and found 2–5 passes (one pass ≈5 minutes) typically sufficient; Recortec now refurbs machines. Two years after starting 1/2" cleaning, BAVC purchased an RTI 3/4" U-matic cassette cleaner and recorded RTI contact information.
