Carrier information

• Type: audio, video or film;
• Format: it's important to know exactly what carrier formats you are storing. Certain types of formats are very similar to each other, but not interchangeable, e.g. compact audio cassette, 1/4" open reel audio, CD, DAT, MiniDisc, VHS, Betamax, Video2000, Hi-8, Video8, MiniDV, ¾" U-matic, Betacam SP or digital Betacam;
• Original carrier number: if your audiovisual archive and/or collections are already ordered and numbered, you can assign a number to each carrier to help you identify it more easily afterwards;
• Carrier location: the place where you store the carrier. If no location number is available, information about the physical location is important to be able to find the item again.
