What else is in the May, 1979 issue of Broadcast Engineering--

[Ted Langdell]

Back to the BE issue:

The late Charles Anderson has an article "The Progression of Videotape Recording" on page 62.

On page 65 Recortec (the tape cleaner co.) touts it's modified Sony VO-2860 as "Quad Quality in 3/4" Format. Recortec tripled the tape and scanner speeds to provide direct high-band recording.

Page 78 has the start of "Magnetic Tape's Impact on Broadcasting," with a sidebar by John Mullin about the first playback of audio for Bing Crosby from a Magnetophone used to record Crosby's first show of the 1947-48 season... and his history with the company.

Dave Sieg will want to read the article by Birger Anderson of Computer Image Corp., aout the Animac, Scanimate and Caesar video art tools on Page 86.

On Page 92, KTLA/Golden West Broadcasting's VP of Engineering notes that Type C VTRs had been on the property for just eight months. The LA station's four original VR-1000's purchased in 1959 "are still running today, 20 years later, in a highly modified form."  In 1975 KTLA automated its air playout using two Ampex ACR-25 Quad cart machines controlled by a computer system. 

TV in the San Francisco Bay Area is recapped beginning on Page 94... 

On Page 119, the late NBC/freelance film and videotape editor Art Schneider recaps the growth of Videotape Editing on Page 119, with recollections of razor blading Quad tapes to match a kinescope edit, and how off-line edit suites advanced the art and business.

Interesting reading if you can handle the scanning quality. 

Cheers,

Ted
