I said "That if it didn't move Tape, it shouldn't make pictures", so I was not so much into cameras.<br><br>Bye for now, Bill<br><div> </div><br><div><br></div><div style="font-family: tahoma,new york,times,serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><font size="2" face="Tahoma"><hr size="1"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">From:</span></b> "Chill315@aol.com" <Chill315@aol.com><br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> quadlist@quadvideotapegroup.com<br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Fri, December 10, 2010 3:33:45 AM<br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> Re: [QuadList] can anyone add info on telemation productions<br></font><br> <font id="role_document" size="2" color="#000000" face="Arial"> <div><font xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">Telemation</font> had a number of interesting products. The black and
white cameras that they made were very prolific in the cable and educational market. I thought that they did a beautiful job with their design. I remember the simple unit that had a built in sync generator that you could option up to RS-170. The viewfinder was about 5 inches and was an add on to the basic design. The case was different so that you had to buy it as <font xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">OEM</font>. The little camera cable used about a one inch diameter connector that was unique to <font xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">Telemation</font>. But it worked and you could make a studio real cheap and compact. </div> <div> </div> <div>I did not know that they sold the <font xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">IVC</font> cameras. They were a unique design that did work and were also a pain in the but. We started with two of the 500A's at <font
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">GTN</font> in Detroit. They had a special red tube and did great on reds. </div> <div> </div> <div>I do remember Lyle <font xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">Keyes</font>. Did he start Utah Scientific? He was a great sales person for them. I almost bought a router from him.</div> <div> </div> <div>Chris Hill</div> <div>WA8<font xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">IGN</font></div></font></div></div> </div><br>
