I am kinda confused though ... at one point I thought we were figuring out
the cameras used on the Wash DC concert....
Thanks,

After reviewing a set of images found in a google search, it appears that
the '64 Sullivan NYC studio shows were using Marconi Mark IV's if the
caption dates are correct. Therefore, I am apparently wrong in stating that the
Marconi's did not arrive till later. I do recall that the '65 show was
sharp as tack when compared to the Feb. '64 shows, and perhaps from that
observation I made the incorrect assumption that the Marconi's were on that show
only.
Yes, it would be nice to hear from someone who was there on site at that
time to set the record straight.

Marconi's did not get used till the later part of '64. The Beatles '65 show (the
last B&W Sullivan) was on the Marconi's. The PC 60's came on the scene in
the fall of '65, and they were soft (no image enhancer yet). I'd be curious
to know if CBS ever had Marconi's in a remote truck. Perhaps not. I think
CBS saw the Norelco color cameras coming by '64 and were saving money for
the color upgrades in '65, but Sullivan was such a hot show that they got s
studio installation of Marconi's. That's my guess.
Speaking of The Beatles and Sullivan, go out and acquire the latest
Beatles on Sullivan DVD:

The Miami show has an improved transfer and image processing that we did
for Sofa Entertainment (and shown at SAA in August and AMIA earlier this
month).

My guess is TK-30. CBS and Sullivan did use the Marconi's so it may be
that camera.
I bet Chuck could tell just by looking at the picture.

what do you it was shot with??
don't see the "corners" of the image orthicon in any of the shots, nor any
changes in sensitivity near the edges of the picture. Which leads me to
conclude that the video was probably cropped.
I've used I/Os with over 600 lines of resolution. These pictures are
softer than that.
That said, how nice to see the video!

No issues with the video quality, considering what a massive upgrade this
is from the kinescope copies that have been in circulation in the
collector's circuit since the 80s. The kines were missing most of "Twist & Shout"
and "Long Tall Sally" entirely.

Indeed David! I enjoed it! thanks for the details!... It is great
just to have this! Thanks!
Ed,
I don't know who's truck it was. I have an email into Ron to find out if
he knows. Also, I would presume that the VTR was in the truck, and not
microwaved back to some record VTR in a station (as in WRC doing the pickup and
feeding it back to their station). The video is not that sharp if I recall
correctly, meaning it did not look like the higher quality TK 60's or
Marconi's. But, if you are in any way a Beatles fan and can toleratse the audio
problems, then you should be OK with the video quality as well, in my
opinion.

The audio was distorted on The Beatles performance.
