[QuadList] Servo Modes

[Gary Adams]

Totally agree.  Automatic/Pixlock using external sync and burst for output
processing will produce the best results.  If you are concerned about the
horizontal position, then the 4/8 field lock should be used to sort of color
frame the output.  Lock up time is not important for making dubs and digital
capture.  When I first worked at a station, we ran all machines in H lock,
so a station break consisted of 2-3 spots rolling from net to spot to spot
to spot to slide to net.  My guess some people at home never saw a locked
picture on their slow sets until we went back to the net.  So a couple of us
worked hard to get all machines to auto lock and our breaks were vastly
improved.  It was interesting to think many of these machines actually got
better than when they were initially purchased due to the modifications and
service by the local techs.

There are a number of servo modes on the Ampex Intersync and the RCA
machines.  Which one is the best to use?  Here are my thoughts.
