<DIV>The transmission as if it were live in color is doubtful...we
still were importing a lot of 16mm kine recordings of us news which i
think</DIV>
<DIV>came from VISNEWS, and were horribly crap quality but go around the
standards conversions.</DIV></SPAN></BLOCKQUOTE>

studio watching the August 1974 broadcast of Nixon's resignation speech on
live television. The broadcast is in color. Australia didn't introduce color

class=Apple-style-span>While Frost and his team are doing research, modern VHS
cassettes are visible in one scene. While the VHS format debuted in September
1976, it's extremely unlikely that they would have had VHS tapes of events
that happened 2 years earlier.<BR></SPAN></DIV></DIV>

Australian talk show. The Quay Grand apartment complex, also known as "The

<DIV>Anyone recognize any names?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Know what company supplied the truck and cameras used? Whether the
movie is accurate in its portrayal of equipment?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>And since the programs were recorded in 1977, were they on Quad or 1"?
Edited on? Where?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>James: You mention Visnews and Kines. Reminds me of taking some
16mm 7242 color reversal film into Allied Diner labs (or was it just Leo Diner
then) in San Francisco, just down Golden Gate Ave. from ABC owned
KGO-TV.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Diner had a bench with three or four kine recording setups and telco
lines that brought—if I remember correctly from back in 1974—ABC, NBC and CBS
into the building so they could record material for processing and shipment to
Australia.</DIV>
