Tape Timing Chart
This Tape Timing Chart is approximate. Most reels will contain a bit more tape than indicated time implies, typically about 6%. The footage is actual.
These timings are for one program. There can be as many as four mono programs on one 1/4-inch tape.
Note that the double and triple play tape is very fragile. We can transfer it, but there is greater risk that it has already been damaged. Note that the 1.5 mil tape is often referred to as “50-micron” and the 1.0 mil tape is often referred to as “35 micron.”
