Static Roll

From Home Video

This appears on tapes by several duplication companies that used Sony Sprinter equipment, usually at the end. It is not yet known what this was officially called in the duplication industry; the title of this page is just a nickname. It often looks different depending on what playback machine the tape is played on, and could even sound different on some playback machines.
