[QuadList] Blanking Issues

[W4wj at aol.com]

We had a very tight set of rules at TVJ regarding  blanking.
 
I made up orange Q/C cards that were put on every tape  that
was transfered.  If there was a problem, that tape went  back to
sales with an explanation as to why it was not being  accepted.
 
In addition to "wide" video, we saw a lot of 3/4 head  switching 
that got "tagged" and sent back  downstairs.  Some of those
tapes would reappear with a color border!  At that  time that was 
an FCC no-no, and those tapes would again get bounced  back downstairs!
 
Our traffic department, and in particular one very competent  lady,
would get on the phone and explain in great detail to the  agency
why their "production" was being rejected!

Just  came across some wide blanking on a Quad tape I'm dubbing. over 13 
usec and 28  lines in the vertical! This was some material bumped up from 3/4" 
so their TBC  was not adjusted properly.

One  of my favorite blanking stories showed up on a PBS technical 
evaluation  sheet.  The person who did the evaluation wrote that the blanking was  OK 
on demod, but wide on output and he rejected our tape.

Gee, doesn't that mean that their machine was  misadjusted on output?
 

 
What'd  you do?  Resubmit?  Point out that the deck was in need of  
tweaking?
