[QuadList] 1/2" Reel to Reel VTR and TBCs-some useful info from BAVC and ...

[COURYHOUSE at aol.com]

Thanks Ted!  These  are good  references!
 
Looks like that DPS unit is  well liked by  some doing skip field.
 
 
Seeing one photograph of  racks reminds me...  I have the rack  part of the 
video patch bay but do not have any cables to plug in!  It  would be nice 
to set everything up this way...  does anyone have any  extras? 
 
I will now  go back to reading Ted's  links...thanks   --ed

Hi, guys (and our lady members, also),

Interesting on the monitor technique. good  suggestion.
 
 
yes  we have CV units but most of the  Radical Video we have is on  EIAJ
 






The Bay Area Video Coalition  _http://www.bavc.org_ (http://www.bavc.org/)  
has a history of doing  half-inch reel transfers and also of sharing its 
experiences.


Here's an article directly related to the CV and EIAJ formats:

(http://www.experimentaltvcenter.org/history/preservation/preservation_level1.php3?id=2&id2=6&id3=12) 


Here's an outline of BAVC's transfer setup, which uses a Sony BVT-810 16  
line TBC, and a DPS TBC similar or the same as what Ed has, which they use to 
 transfer skip field from a CV-2100.

(http://www.experimentaltvcenter.org/history/preservation/preservation_level1.php3?id=2&id2=8&id3=12) 


The lower section of the article explains the basics of waveform monitors  
and vectorscopes, and how it uses the DPS VScope.


The entire article, "Reel to Real: A Case Study of BAVC's Remastering  
Model" starts here:

Ken Zin (then at Merlin Engineering south of SF) helped in BAVC's early  
time.


The Video History Project's "The Basics" section may be a good resource  
for clients.

If enough folks from the group are in the Bay Area at one  time, I'd be 
happy to arrange a Quad Videotape Group gathering at BAVC  ... and also see if 
AVR-300 owner John Pommon at _Antique  Video_ (http://www.antiquevideo.com/) 
 is open for a visit.

Thanks for making the subject line changes.
