Documentation of Cleaning and Remastering Preservation

BAVC initially inventoried client tapes, sent them to an off-site cleaning technician, checked returns against the inventory, rubber-banded original 1/2" open-reel tapes to new copies and labeled copies with title, artist, running time, format and client. As remastering demand increased, staff created a Preservation Dub Watch form to record playback deviations and artifacts; clients were often not the original creators and frequently did not know tape contents, with common concerns including no color, no sound, missing titles or credits, seconds of video noise between segments and herringbone patterns. The form aided in diagnosing equipment versus tape problems, supported shift-to-shift technical communication and is still in use; BAVC cites Playback: A Preservation Primer for Video (BAVC, 1998) and Appendix 12.3 for the Dub Watch Sheet.
