Re: [Avid-L2] Re: SR tapes with the Telefile label affixed to spine - New???

My memory, supplemented by Google, says the Sony Tele-File is a fancy
label with a memory chip stuck on standard Sony tapes... Ah here:

The Tele-File™ System is a data storage/retrieval system contained
within a 1/2-inch
cassette label. This system can be utilized with models from the Sony
HDCAM™,
MPEG IMX™ and J Series production lines. An IC memory built into a
Tele-File memory
label enables a wide range of production-related information to be
stored and accessed
using a non-contact read/write system. This information typically
includes details on the
content of the tape, the time and date of a shoot, scene information,
shot marks, and so
on. Keeping this information with the cassette and having immediate
access to it at all
stages of content creation can significantly improve production speed
and efficiency, and
can also play a vital role in maximizing the value of media assets.
