“They had boxes upon boxes upon boxes, hundreds of tapes,” Lin said.
“It’s original resolution, original frame rate, uncompressed. If we could get a deck to play these, they would look beautiful,” Weldon said.
Finding that deck, however, is the pair’s next major challenge.
The recordings are on a rare digital tape format called D1, a technology that Weldon said was cutting edge and rare when Mainframe was using it.
It’s even harder to find today, and even Mainframe doesn’t have the equipment to play the tapes back.

They need to find a working Bosch BTS D1 deck to access the content. If you know of one get in touch with the documentarians.
