The Video Lab includes a collection of Ampex and RCA Quads, Ampex and Sony 1" Type C machines and machines for a number of other formats.  Digitization tools include the SAMMA Robot system for automated cassette based migration and other tools for single-tape transfers.

You've heard about and seen some of the lab in posts to the QuadList, such as this one from Nov. 15, 2010:

The initial focus for Quad is on these AVR-2's that QuadList member and LoC Senior Systems Administrator James Snyder is between.

He's outlining what the Library is doing to MWA Nova Software Engineer Andreas Rettig, QuadList Member and long-time telecine and tape engineer Mike Bitetti and MWA Nova Engineer Neils Petzold.


These AVR-2's—and a bunch more—are being brought back to life by James O'Neal, whose name you might recognize from bylines as Technology Editor for TV Technology magazine and website...

2/3/12, TL notes: Earlier this week, QuadList Member Bob Bell provided the link to a video interview with James about his basement radio station recreation:

O'Neal is on the right in this picture just before our Quad Videotape Group Brunch in Fredericksburg, VA, Saturday, 10-9-10.  

Left of James is QuadList member and VTR/ATR collector-restorer John Fletcher from Harper's Ferry, WV, who drove two hours to attend the brunch, and brought a manual for the Ampex VR-1000 to share.

There's that salesman pitching VR-2000's again.  The seemingly ever-present Gary Adams is behind the camera for this photo.


If someone from the QuadList should apply and be employed at Culpeper... please advise details of the party celebrating your fortune!  

James Snyder knows where all the good beer can be found.
