[SBE] tape eraser/cleaners

[Gary Stewart]

For a lot less than that I think you could get a video server system
with ingest and play out.  And never have to buy or clean tapes again.
Would that meet your needs?

Hi all,

 

The following system from RTI came highly recommended for bulk erasing
and cleaning of betacam tape:  http://www.rtico.com/tapechek/

We reuse tape stock to save on the high cost of replacement, and the
cleaner feature would help us with temporary dropout problems that
plague us on a regular basis, even with regular VTR cleaning.

The problem is the $20,000 price tag, with the refurbished unit costing
around $10,000, which is tough on our current budget.

After talking with RTI sales and doing an internet search, there doesn't
seem to be anyone who has a solution quite like this.  

Does anyone know of a more cost effective solution for degaussing and
rejuvenating Beta and Beta SP tape?

 

Thank you,
