[QuadList] TEP - CAVEC and other stuff

It was a job. That device, like Editec, got the job done. The state of the art (editing) advanced along with the editors. We are grew with the industry. Some days were long and some were more rewarding than others. I am thankful to have been able to have put food on the table and put kids through school because of this industry, Editec, TEP, CMX and all!

"Good Old Days"? One could say that, sure.

No timecode, just a cue-tone benchmark on the cue track and a bunch of DTL counters and registers.  It would output a control at 8 seconds pre-edit. We used timecode to cue the source tapes but still had to lay in the in-edit point "by eye". TEP would allow a preview cycle and then had thumbwheels to add/subtract time to that point.
