Evaluated
Tape
| Recycled tape can save your company up to 50%
on tape stock...with our personal guarantee to look and
perform like new.
As producers and editors ourselves, we agree that new tape
is preferrable for that critical single camera shoot. But
for many jobs like B Roll, dubs, demos, practice tapes,
archive copies, resume reels, screen tests, titles and student
projects, why not save money and be socially responsible
at the same time?
We are the industry's evaluated tape experts.
Our in-house evaluation facilities are located in Glendale
CA. We have been in the tape recycling business for over
11 years. In fact, recycled tape was EVS's only product
when we first entered the market.
What is Recycled (Evaluated) Tape?
One-pass tape that is inspected, thoroughly degaussed and
refurbished.
Where do we get our tape stock?
We begin by acquiring reliable one-pass professional tape
stock from the same credible sources we have been using
for the last 15 years. The tape arrives at our facility
and is manually inspected for defects.
The evaluation process - easy as 1, 2, 3.
|
- Evaluate for magnetic integrity:
Once it passes the manual inspection it is then put through
a magnetic evaluation using state of the art RTI evaluators.
The RTI inspects the tape end-to-end looking for breaks
or damage in the oxide coating, at the same time it polishes
the recording surface and eliminates debris, improving
head-to-tape contact. If the tape passes this inspection
as an 'A' grade tape it is then degaussed and cosmetically
refurbished.

- Erase all audio and video
signal: We employ the Garner Eliminator 4000 degaussers
to ensure complete erasure of all audio and video signal.
The Eliminator 4000 is built to handle today's magnetic
recording formats that allow for more data storage, better
video resolution, less video noise and higher frequency
recording. The 4000 features patented technology that
will guarantee complete erasure of all formats including:
U-Matic, S-VHS, MII, D1, D2, D3, D5, 4MM, 8MM, DLT, HI8,
DAT, DIGITAL BETACAM SP, DVCAM, DVCPRO, DIGITAL-S, HDTV.
This unique machine also eliminates excessive heating
of metal cassette parts and reels that can damage tape.
|
- Cosmetic refurbishing
of the shell and case: Finally the tape is sent
for cosmetic refurbishing where the labels are removed
with solvents that do not damage or discolor the shell.
The shell is hand polished and the case is cleaned (or
discarded if damaged) and a new case replaces it.
|
These quality tapes are then packed into brand new white
corrugated cardboard boxes (same exact dimensions as the boxes
new tape is packaged in), labeled and inventoried and ready
to ship to our clients.
Who uses evaluated
tape stock?
