[QuadList] Question of the week-RCA AE 6000 editor

[David Crosthwait]

Gary and all,

Don't know where my SE-1 material is, but in the meantime, here is a shot of a VR-2000 with the EECO panel (sorry, the focus was on the two individuals in the witness protection program...).

It did not use a tone but used control track to count the frames.  And we all know how accurate that can be.  So if you were ok with +/-1 frame, then the SE-1 was ok.  You used a Mark In and Mark Out button.  Thumbwheels were used to trim offsets to the mark points.  Didn’t care for it and had to install a few which was a real pain with lots of wire wraps to the backplane.  I’m sure David has a picture of this too!

It put a cue tone down and then you used the thumb wheels to move the edit points.  The cue tone was put down 14 seconds before the edit.  Then you do the rehearsal.
