Content Information

Content is king. It is the asset. What is it, where did it come from, how was it

made. All valuable pieces of information. Using a system called TeleFile this

information can be managed. Low cost cassette labels containing a memory

IC, with contact-less, induction coil transmission, store the information. The

HDW-F500 can read and

write from these labels

and an additional 

reader/writer unit, for use

under PC control, is

available for stand-alone

reading and writing.
