I’ve got to ask.

What do you DO with a blacked and coded tape these days?

[Gary Adcock]

[Matte] “What do you DO with a blacked and coded tape these days?”

Black and code of a tape is essential for creating a broadcast master deliverable, and if the tape does not have this step done to it, many (most) stations will reject your material.

It also allows for the accurate timing of the content for automated playback.
