<DIV>You are correct. I remember Kim Friedman (and Chaka Kahn). I was the editor on it. </DIV>

<DIV>When we did a digital effect, we'd take the A-D cards and hold them to the air conditioner vent. When the tapes all recued, the tape op would jam all the cards back in their slots so we could do the effect before they overheated and burped the video. Engineering excellence at its finest!</DIV>

<DIV><FONT class=Apple-style-span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">I toured your facility around 1980 (?) with music video producer Kim Friedman. I think he was doing a Chaka Kawn (?) post there. I'll never forget seeing the Squeeze Zoom in action, and the roar of fans to keep it cool, if I remember correctly. I was working for NBC at the time and we only had MKII DVE's and some Quantel 5000's.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>In an earlier life I worked at a company in Hollywood, (Mobile Video Systems) that had an early generation Squeezoom. They made a good living correcting All In The Family and the 30:00 syndicated version of Carol Burnett, among others. The device was able to make good looking video appear as though you smeared Vaseline on your eyes. </DIV>

<DIV>You had to watch the picture like a hawk for memory dropouts from that piece of junk.</DIV>
