<DIV><FONT size=4>During a CBS football remote at The orange
Bowl...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>I had a 90 minute reel of tape loaded on the
machine</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>and after a lot of pre-pro and stuff... we went
into</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>the LIVE game... of course I had the first
replay...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>and the machine WOULD NOT ROLL... Either hitting
PLAY</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>or by hand!!! My machine was ON LINE for what seemed
like an</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>eternity, BUT just a FREEZE FRAME!! DAM!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Well the CBS EIC came storming into the tape
truck</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>screaming various phrases!! </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>He couldn't get the tape to roll either!! we were a
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>non-union house, so he could "touch" the
machine!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>The problem was "stiction" at the head of that big
reel.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>After all the pre-pro, we were told to rewind to the head of
bars and roll on the game from there. The machine</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>didn't like the tape for some reason.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Got around the problem by winding into the reel a</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>bit. The EIC was not happy...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>BTW, CBS supplied and specified the 90s for the game.

<DIV>I'd say that's why so many NBC sports slo-mo guys from NYC preferred a
truck with 1" VPR 2's so as to be able to grab the reels and do the slo-mo by
hand, as apposed to the controller running the transport. The VPR 2 most
likely would not spill tape if done right, a must on live sports.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Don's truck had VPR 2's. Ran them on NFL football in Miami in the
80's.</DIV>

Very good at DC servos for max acceleration and deceleration with a gentle
touch. Very impressive. RCA stuck with the old AC motor
drivers for everything just about and that made for a very rubbery control
of reel servos and belt drive. On the 1” machines, the ability to grab
a reel and move it to jog the tape by hand. Nice
touch. <O:P></O:P></SPAN></DIV>
