[QuadList] CMX 600 demo on-line

[george keller]

Hey Ted,

Any idea what year the 600 came out??  That was the subject of our 8 week strike at CBS in '72, as I remember it.  But I didn't wee one there, just the 300

Tnx,

George Keller

The CMX 600 non-linear editor popped up many times in a section of QuadList member John Buck's book about video editing that I was previewing this weekend.


And then it popped up again in conjunction with a conversation I had Monday afternoon with editor/editing software designer Lon McQuillin (http://www.mcqpro.com/)


While chatting, Lon described using the CMX 600 at OnePass in San Francisco... when he and One Pass co-owner Tom Werner managed to digitize, edit, and complete a dozen :30 spots in an 18-hour marathon.


If I correctly understood what he meant by "complete" as to include making Quad masters from the EDL, that's quite an accomplishment.  Even just getting the EDL complete is quite something.



While googling for Dave Bargen to answer a question Lon had, this CMX 600 demo unexpectedly popped up:

You'll see some Ampex Quads at work in conjunction with digitizing the footage for the demo tape.



Enjoy.
