HDCAM SR tape shortage
Saturday 9 April 2011 at 10:25 by
Sony have stopped the manufacture of HD broadcast video cassettes due to the recent tsunami in Japan.
This has led to a worldwide shortage of HDCAM SR tapes, which are produced at Sony’s Sendai Technology Center – the factory is expected to be closed for months to come due to damage caused by the tsunami.
Orange Coconut currently have a limited stock of recycled HDCAM SR tape and only a few new tapes.
The Orange Coconut low carbon videotape recycling service allows customers’ own HDCAM SR tapes to be evaluated for re-use.
During this period of HDCAM SR tape shortage, Orange Coconut will be donating a percentage of the cost of each HD tape sent in for evaluation to the Japan Tsunami Appeal; please consider donating to this fund administered by the Red Cross.
