DARN!  sorry to miss this...

I did  see Paul Beck and crew last year though and enjoyed  seeing the old  
gear and actually meeting Paul in person at last.

Is  Paul's  crew also  going  this  year to   demo stuff?

Thought you'd want to know that the ATSC 3.0 demonstration station is  
taking shape on Black Mountain in Las Vegas.

One of the people helping to build the station is QuadList  member John 
Turner, head honcho at Turner Engineering in New Jersey.

He advised the Old VTR's group this morning:

"We are building a real  time ATSC 3.0 transmission system on ch 50 at 
Black Mountain for the  convention. Pulling this RF off air at the Grand Lobby 
and North Hall. Big  demo will be a 65” LG OLED consumer receiver being sold 
in Korea  today. 
Content is UHD stored  on a Harmonic (Omneon) 50TB, 2 RU server. The server 
is playing out digital  video at 8X 1080I! 
Sure interesting to  compare this new system to the 1960’s analog VTRs. 
John (My  50th consecutive NAB this year)"

Turner helped build the ATSC 3.0 station at NAB last year, and has  
participated in a number of other NAB demonstration projects over the last  several 
decades.

He also enjoys restoring Quad and other vintage video  tape equipment in 
his company's New Jersey facility.

The "NextGen TV" demo area is in the Grand Lobby  between North and  
Central halls.

"Tomorrow's technology" is just a short walk away from where the  Museum of 
Broadcast Technology is bringing a showcase of vintage television  gear to 
the entrance of Northhall opposite the taxi drop off. 

In the last several years, the Museum's exhibit has showcased 2" quad  
video recorders along with a number of portable television cameras from the  mid 
to late 70s and early 80s.

MBT's Paul Beck advises this year's display is RCA:  "One  original TK-31 
with tubed power supply and one TK-34 with WP-16 and external  focus 
regulator. And... an original ZOOMAR 3x1 studio  lens. 

Yep !  (Image) Orthicons are making a  come back !!! You just wait and see 
!!!!"

Should be an interesting NAB, that's for sure!

I'll have an announcement about the "Annual Quad Videotape Group Luncheon  
at NAB" in a forthcoming separate email.

As always it will be on 12:30  PM, Tuesday, April 25, 2017. The location is 
being identified. It will  likely be near the MBT exhibit.

Looking forward to seeing folks there. Unless something changes  
dramatically in the next two weeks, we will be walking the floor rather than  standing 
in a booth.
