Evaluated DVCAM 12N

"Talk about the best bang for your buck, our evaluated DVCAM tapes are the best value in blank media. Over the years we have mastered the proper technique of evaluating tape so that it looks and performs like a brand new tape. We begin by using only the most recently exposed videotapes. After careful inspection, if the tape is cosmetically acceptable, we run the tape on an RTI Evaluator. This machine not only checks for defects such as edge damage, creases, and excessive dropouts but it also cleans and reconditions the tape. As the tape goes through the evaluator, it experiences a series of tissues and burnishing blades, which can actually improve a tape by eliminating dust which causes dropouts or by straightening the tape and eliminating minor physical damage. Once the tape has passed the evaluation process, it is then hand cleaned and carefully de-labeled. We use several chemicals which have been proven not to show any stains or markings for that specific tape. After this process the tape is again inspected by a professional. If any cosmetic imperfections are found such as scratches or stains, the tape is rejected never to be used again. Once an accepted tape is de-labeled and cleaned it is degaussed one more time. This second degaussing is done as a precautionary measure to insure a tape that will compete with a new one for proper performance. The evaluated tape is then repackaged back in it's original case and boxed. "
