<DIV>I forgot about your new boards. The problem is still the servos and
the TBC. These are different between the 525 and 625 machines. The
TBC in PAL is not compatible with NTSC. So again it is a major
issue.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>He wants to do both NTSC and PAL. If it were not that, yes an AVR-2
is the answer. But with both formats, the Universal Colortec is the only
thing that allows the PAL VR-1200 to play back NTSC tapes. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>How can he get around this with the AVR-2? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>That is one of the nice things about the VR-1200. It has built in the
servo system for both 525 and 625. The FM standards are all there.
Both 525 and 625.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The Heterodyne issue is not an issue. In fact a standard Colortec
would handle this in the Non Phased Color mode. Same for the early RCA
CATC.</DIV>

<DIV>No quite so... as a result of the first new development for Quad
videotape in decades!</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><B>As we announced at the Quad/Editor/Telecine lunch at
NAB... </B></DIV>
<DIV>There's a new board set that will take care of making an AVR-2 capable of
running high band c/m and Low Band color and monochrome with just a few switch
flips or turns.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>This makes it possible to standardize on the AVR-2 as a machine of choice
for these tape formats. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The board is an outgrowth of Ken Zin's execution for his own AVR-2. He
and long-time colleague Al Sturm have collaborated on the design. Al is
handling the manufacturing details and I'm marketing it.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The set replaces the demod card, and modifies the EQ/Switcher card to
work with the new demod. It can be set up to work with NTSC and
PAL.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Please contact me off-list at <B><I><A title="mailto:ted@flashscan8.us?subject=AVR-2 Board Set for Low Band" href="mailto:ted@flashscan8.us?subject=AVR-2%20Board%20Set%20for%20Low%20Band">ted@flashscan8.us</A> </I><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal" class=Apple-style-span>for further
info.</SPAN></B></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><B>Beyond Low Band Color...</B></DIV>
<DIV>There's also the possibility of a slightly different board set to allow
AVR-2 transfer of RCA Labs color and RCA color, those wonderful pre-low band
heterodyne formats used on the WRC-TV dedication (Eisenhower tape), the
"Evening with Fred Astaire" recordings and other shows done at NBC or on early
color RCA machines.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>That's taken mods to 10 or so AVR-1 boards to accomplish. QuadList member
Ed Reitan did it in 1987/88 to enable recovery of the Eisenhower and Astaire
tapes (among others) with Don Kent operating the KTLA machine. That's now in
CBS-TVC (with the boards, I'd think.)</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>QuadList member David Crosthwait did it for one of his AVR-1's a couple
of years ago and presented a short talk w/powerpoint at the AMIA 'Reel Thing'
in St. Louis. It took some late night soldering-iron sessions and a lot
of reference to the RCA TRT-1C manuals he has to reverse engineer the process
and develop his set of mods.</DIV>
