Hi Park,
A shoot-off is in order between the AVR-1 and the 2K machines to prove that point.
However the AVR-1 does it, it does it well - the incredible lack of color banding of any kind (amplitude or color phase) is one of its outstanding virtues.
During the Astaire restoration I simultaneously fed embryonic video from the AVR-1 through the NEC TBC **, and through the normal path of post- video and TBC processing in the AVR-1. The final AVR-1 output was superior in color fidelity and stability (in my humble opinion)
The one thing the AVR-1 does not have is a facility for playing heterodyne dub tapes

** the NEC TBC had been provided by Ken Zin - thanks Ken !

Ed,
According to the reel hold-down hubs, that 2k has been "Merlinized". If it has the 10 bit NEC TBC, I'd suggest it is making pictures as good as any AVR-1.
Best,

Hi Guys,
About a year ago, James O'Neal of Television Technology contacted me.
He wanted to know if I knew of an Ampex AVR-1 that could be directed to the LOC.
He was suggesting to them that they should have an AVR- 1 in their restoration stable.
I am truly surprised that the LOC is using 2000's instead of the much better performing AVR-1.
Can we work together to get an AVR-1 to them?

CBS News just aired as their last story a segment on the LOC video preservation project. They showed a VR-2000. The story even talked about the problem of getting heads.
