B.C ‘ReBoot’ documentary secures tech to play old tapes but more help needed
Global News
But, a new issue has popped up for the filmmakers. One of the manuals is missing for the decks and the pair do not know how to operate them to play the old tapes.
Two B.C. documentarians are one step closer in their quest to craft a film on the popular sci-fi series ReBoot.
The show was produced by a company in Vancouver and aired on television between 1994 and 2001.
Decades later, the cartoon series still has a following.
Global News initially covered the pair, super fans Jacob Weldon and Raquel Lin, back in December, when they received the original tapes of the show from Mainframe Entertainment for their documentary called Reboot ReWind.
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.
The decks are even harder to find today, and Mainframe didn’t have the equipment to play the tapes back.
Weldon and Lin, back in December, made a call to the public to help assist them in finding working Bosch BTS D1 decks that could play the tapes.
The pair said after hundreds of tips and messages, an email in German was the breakthrough they were waiting for.
