Arkival Technology thanks you for your interest in our Barium Ferrite products. These new tape products represent the ultimate in magnetic recording technology. Our video products are Broadcast quality and digitally certified to assure problem free performance. Barium Ferrite tapes offer significant advantages over any metal particle tapes; they have been independently rated as the best tapes for archival stability* and also result in better chroma and notably lower head wear.

If your videos are worth preserving they should be recorded on Arkival Technology's Barium Ferrite products.

Barium Ferrite (BaFe) is a new magnetic particulate material in the shape of hexagonal platelets. The extraordinary physical perfection of this magnetic material provides exceptional high density recording capability and complete immunity to environmental corrosion.

The storage and precise retrievability of your valuable video content is the most important requirement for your magnetic tapes. BaFe is a natural crystal and requires no secondary processes for protection. Corrosion of BaFe is virtually nonexistent! These BaFe tape properties have been recognized and endorsed by several internationally recognized laboratories. Metal particle and metal evaporated tapes that offer improved recording performance over earlier iron oxide tapes are subject to environmental degradation; resulting in increased error rates and reduced reliability. In fact, remedies used to partially protect metal tapes from corrosion tend to decrease their recording potential, thus compromising their only advantage.

Barium Ferrite tape is ideal for the archiving of your videos as it will last well beyond metal particle or metal evaporated tape. BaFe will also deliver an enhanced playback of high frequency signals while being gentler on heads due to its smoother, more orderly geometry. Many videotape viewers report seeing better chroma in their replays on BaFe media.

How durable is BaFe? It is impervious to moisture degradation and typical playback wear. You already know this, though, as you probably use BaFe on most of your newer credit card magnetic swipe strips! When was the last time you had wear or environmental damage with a credit card? Those credit card strips seem to work on and on and on... You know how it will work in the preservation of videos. In fact, few of us are as careful with our credit cards as we are with our valuable videotapes!

Arkival offers this new and exciting product for applications requiring reliability, environmental immunity and long term video storage. Let Arkival's Barium Ferrite tapes be your media of choice today and in the future.
