<DIV>Just downloaded the frost nixon movie</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The scenes supposed to be in australia were factually very incorrect so
far as the tv equipment is concerned.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The ATN7 scenes i wonder if were shot in america....ATN7 never used
Norelco/philips cameras, they Marconi MKIII orthicon cameras</DIV>
<DIV>and the later MKIV, If this scene was supposed to be shot in 1974,
color television hadnt even been officially introduced yet, but the
studios</DIV>
<DIV>were possibly just installed with the Marconi MKVIII color cameras which
were used right up until around 1990</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We never had norelco cameras in OZ, they were late 60's color american
cameras thus we didnt have a use for them, however a couple were</DIV>
<DIV>bought for color demos in melbourne in 1968, however they were all
rebadged under the name "philips" and this was only by HSV7</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>when we went to color, if we used american cameras it was the RCA
TK45</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<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. Was satellite or b-mac even around then?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I must also point out the had to laugh at horrible australian accent, its
totally rubbish - never heard anyone speak like that here...sounds more like
an english accent</DIV>
<DIV>and a cringe to hear....lol</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>James... that is not what you want.... this guy
probably took it hard for the following</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><EM><FONT color=#ff0000>modified in New York and converted to Super 16
format. The camera was also modified to PL mount and and can thus use all
professional Super 16 lenses. It has also been outfitted with a B&W
video tap.</FONT></EM></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>if you get a plain old... shoot the news camera
much cheaper... if it is a cp-16-a cheaper yet. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We have an A model would love and R but do
not care about all the mods this guy paid for... no
doubt it kicks ass but.... Hell I do not want to shoot
film..</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>note mention about the video pick off though.... ah!!!! shoots
both film and video??? maybe this would be cool!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>you can look like a cool film shooter while enjoying the
ease of video!</DIV>
