<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Hi Folks,<br><br>The VR -3000B did not have a plug-in DTBC, it used a TBC 900, which was also the base for the unit, when playing back to air.<br><br>I gave a SMPTE paper and showed the system @ The Winter TV Conference in Detriot in early 76, which many called the birthplace of ENG.<br><br>The machine had a dual track audio system, with the electronics above the top plate on the left edge.<br><br>The system, the VR-3000/TBC-900 was a joint venture between Al Trost & Maurice Lemoine to produce what was wanted in France. Additional connectors were added to bring the video head signals out to external processing and the goal was AVR-2 playback performance.<br><br>The goal was to use the VR-3000 in the field and then at a mobile "base station" use the TBC-900, to feed a high quality signal back via microwave to be broadcast without further
processing.<br><br>Bill Carpenter<br><br><br><br><br><br>--- On <b>Mon, 2/28/11, Thomas, Stephen D <i><sdthomas@cbs.com></i></b> wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><br>From: Thomas, Stephen D <sdthomas@cbs.com><br>Subject: Re: [QuadList] Question of the week<br>To: "Quad List" <quadlist@quadvideotapegroup.com><br>Date: Monday, February 28, 2011, 8:03 AM<br><br><div id="yiv505105647">
