<div>This is actually a programmer that was made by ECCO for
RCA. It consisted of a number of parts. </div>
<div>The top display was an auxiliary display panel.</div>

<div>The Unit Programmer is the middle unit that is a couple of
rack units. </div>

<div>The bottom was a transport control panel. </div>

<div>It was possibly a system that was first used on Laugh In.
Can someone confirm that?</div>

<div>The TEP actually worked pretty well with the TR-70's.
However, it was a 10 second pre-roll on the record VTR
and five seconds on the source. Edit 2 and 3 at NBC
Burbank had TEPs. </div>

font-size: 12pt;">I 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>

tied to a CMX 340 (no AE-6000) in edit
five at NBC Burbank, and those machines
would move tape very fast, even dual
edit record under 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 level decision"
placed the 600A's in that project
instead. <o:p></o:p></div>

brochure mentions that this editor has a
"switcher control system designed to
interface with any 1600 series Grass
Valley E-MEM equipped switcher" (did not
scan that page yet but can if someone
wants to see it). I can't recall RCA
ever mentioning another major
manufacturer in a brochure, although I
could be dead wrong. Perhaps this was a
no brainer as RCA was (?) totally out of
the switcher business by then.<o:p></o:p></div>

"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

Here is a photo from the file cabinet.<br>
The questions for the contest are:<br>
What is it?<br>
What is the model number?<br>
Did anyone ever see one in action
other than on the showroom floor?<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
Was it a product that was "Dead On

Other documentation will be posted
