<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2 PTSIZE=10>Hello Peter,
<BR>
<BR>Were you by chance the RCA engineer in Las Vegas for the Caesars Palace Grand Prix, with the Quality Video truck? There was an RCA engineer there (I may even have a snapshot somewhere) of that person, standing by the TR 800's in case they have "a runaway", as was usual then. I have done games in Denver, usually with N4 out of Burbank. Sept. 2, 1984 comes to mind (Broncos against the Bengals).
<BR>
<BR>I don't remember those guys from Quality Video, but they were very nice, and the TK 47's made great pictures. We ran cable up to the top of the roof of Caesar's for one camera (mini tv 81 I think).
<BR>
<BR>Later, that truck had BVH 2000's and the TR 800's were gone....

<BR>Quality Video: I was in Denver (Football) in support of the 800's in that
<BR>Truck... RCA had an Ampex (Slo- mo) like shot box and had messed with the
<BR>servo software to speed up replays, the tape was almost jumping off the
<BR>scanner. The machine was not slow, it was the control box with multiple
<BR>button pushes to do simple stuff. It was a bad idea for Live Football with
<BR>multiple store points & an operational concept for post-production. The shot
<BR>Box was dumped for a simple "store in" & "store out" "Go to in" "Go to out"
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>I was later in Vegas upgrading that Truck and getting the tape deck
<BR>normalized. In 1984 Quality Video was the Pool truck for the Political
<BR>Conventions, I was NBC's Broadcast Systems Design Engineer.
