Retensioning
The process where a tape is unspooled onto a take-up reel and then rewound at a controlled tension and speed. Through this procedure, tape pack stresses are redistributed and the tape is retensioned. This has sometimes been referred to as refreshing (or exercising the tape).
The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia acknowledges Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live and gives respect to their Elders both past and present.
