[QuadList] Quad Vs Type C

[C. Park Seward]

Yes. Bill Hogan supplied the Betacam video equipment for "Golden Girls".

I was not a fan of Betacam due to the poor luminance response and noisy chroma channels. SP was a big improvement but it still did not have the resolution of Quad or 1".

Best,
Park
