Long-Term Storage of Videotape

Metadata

Doc Type: Journal Article
Article Type: research-article
Abstract: This article describes the many factors necessary for long-term videotape storage, including a cool, dry environment and proper VTR maintenance. Correct winding techniques are described, detailing tape faults, proper wind tension, and how often the tape should be rewound. Several suggestions are given for measures to prolong the life of videotape, as well as advice on what to do if the tape is exposed to heat or water. A family of constant-moisture curves is given to illustrate the environmental limits of both the tape and the VTR.
