<div>The TEP actually worked pretty well with the TR-70's. However, it was a

do not know if this product ever came out, but certainly from what I can
tell by pulling brochures from the DC Video file cabinet is that I picked up
this printed material in 1978 or so and it appeared to be a real product.
But I never heard of any implementation. Perhaps the heavy weights here on
the list i.e. Gary Adams, John Turner, Don Norwood, Chris Hill, Trevor Brown
and others who were associated with RCA gear (perhaps the recipient of a
sales pitch or two) could elaborate. If 1978 is an accurate time period for
this product to be marketed, then I think we have to keep in mind what the
competition was then i.e. Ampex ACE, CMX 340, ISC, Mach 1, and perhaps some
others that I've failed to mention. If one looks at the CRT display here,
it's a bit convoluted compared to the industry standard at the time (in my
opinion), that being the CMX 340. So perhaps the RCA AE 6000 was a little
too late to come to market. <o:p></o:p></div></div>

were four 600As tied to a CMX 340 (no AE-6000) in edit five at NBC Burbank,

CMX control. However, they were not very reliable in other aspects. That
edit room had been originally projected to have four AVR-3's, but an "upper

RCA was (?) totally out of the switcher business by
then.<o:p></o:p></div></div>

like a "super-duper" CMX type editing device for the TR-600 or above RCA
quads. BIG floppy drives to hold edit info (reminds me of the 4100
Chyron's). Buttons and panels very similiar to the TR-600 edit system at
Olympic Broadcasting Studio in Chicago mid to late 70's. Machines had come
from Montreal Olympics, no 2 quite alike, what complete DOGS. Thankfully the
truck had HS-100!</span></span><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Helvetica, sans-serif; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 13.5pt"><br><br><span class="apple-style-span">Pat</span></span><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Helvetica, sans-serif; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt"><o:p></o:p></span></div></div>
