We received this Scotch 379 1" Video tape from the mid 1980's with "Space Shuttle Landing" written on the label for archiving.
The owner was unsure what was truly on the videotape with only knowledge of the tape coming from the estate of a video engineer from the Central Florida area.
The Scotch (3M) 479 reel/tapes from this era are prone to potential issues due to a foam flange and glue on the front of the tape that could erode over the years and make its way onto the tape.
Fortunately for this tape, damage was non existent and after a good baking played back flawlessly using a Sony BVH 2000 VTR (Video Tape Recorded).
Sure enough, the Space Shuttle Challenger was on the tape!
What do you have stored that The Video Lab can assist to archive?

Something a a little different to share: 8 channels of unmixed audio, compared to a final mix with 2 or 4 channels of audio on a HDCAMSR tape.
Archiving HDCAM SR videotapes of HBO promotional content using a Sony SRW-5000 VTR. One of 3 HDCAM VTR’s we have at The Video Lab of South Florida. This particular tape has 8 channels of unmixed audio - various sound on each track as shown in the video.
Final videos that are broadcast or viewed via web/non tv devices are typically mixed down to less channels that are not isolated (I.e., surround/stereo etc) .
This clips shows a bit of both… enjoy!
