Analogue to Digital Video Tape to Pro-Res Video Files | Oxford UK
TAPE BAKING STICKY SHED SYNDROME
Our services provide a multi-award winning digitisation service for broadcast video and audio tapes in Oxford UK.
It is typical nowadays to ensure tapes are assessed and those analogue tapes which are prone to moisture issues are baked. This process is caused by Sticky Shed Syndrome, usually associated with U-matic tapes and caused by a breakdown in the glue (binder) that holds the oxide atoms onto the tape. Typical signs are squealing as the tape passes through the head. Without baking this will transmit through the ouput and will damage the tape and/or players.
