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

[Bill Carpenter]

Hi Cris & Folks,

Yes, ECCO was very involved with Time Code. They had delivered products with the 75Bit code before Stan Busby of Ampex, wrote a document to SMPTE, that the code should be 80Bits from the start for some very good future reasons.
The SMPTE sub group understood, the standard became 80Bits and ECCO took back all the delivered product and changed it to 80Bits.

Ampex worked with ECCO and I have spent a lot of time with George Swetland over the years.

Is that you in the picture?  LOL
 
The ECCO folks were very involved with SMPTE time code.  George 
Swetland of ECCO was on the standards committee at SMPTE for time code.  
They did a lot of OEM business with other folks.

One last shot of the EECO/RCA 
  Programmers: 
  

  
  RCA TR 70B with Recortec tape timer. RCA programmers on the lower right. 
  I edited many a game show on this machine using the RCA/EECO system! Lot's of 
  nixie tubes for readouts. They liked to have a number in each register of 
  record entry or else...Meaning, black tapes were all hour ten time code, not 
  hour one. All studio recordings were time of day, 24 hour clock, drop frame 
  (of course).

    EECO 
    was involved for a long time with RCA as well as Ampex.  Many of the 
    “Splice Timing” modules used in RCA quads were designed by EECO similar to 
    the 3M doing many of the Drop Out 
Compensators.

    Don, 
    
       
    
    The 
    EECO manual this came from says 1967 on the drawings and 1968 on the product 
    sheet. 
    
       
    
    Some, 
    if not all of the six VR 2000s at NBC Burbank had these or a slightly later 
    model installed. They did the job they were intended to 
    do.
