But the VTR crew at Detroit’s WXYZ-TV performs equally fast in its editing job twice a week for telecasting taped highlights of Detroit Red Wings games.</p><p style="margin: 5.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Helvetica">One observer immediately dubbed the system, “editing on the fly.”</p><p style="margin: 5.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Helvetica">This is how it works.</p><p style="margin: 5.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Helvetica">The Sunday and Thursday night home games of the Red Wings are fed “live” from Olympia Stadium to the Ampex VTRs in WXYZ’s studio. Budd Lynch, popular veteran hockey broadcaster, voices play-by-play commentary direct from the stadium.</p><p style="margin: 5.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Helvetica">As soon as the game ends (around 9 p.m. Sundays and 10 p.m. Thursdays), Lynch heads for the studio-14 miles distant from the rink.</p><p style="margin: 5.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Helvetica">Meanwhile, back in the control room, the WXYZ tape editor is double-checking the best action points previously noted during the progress of the game.</p><p style="margin: 5.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Helvetica">These sequences in each period of the game are carefully timed.</p><p style="margin: 5.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Helvetica">When Lynch arrives, he finds the tape “edited” into 25 minutes of highlights - without splicing.

In 1946, by special consent of the University’s math department, he began a concentrated major consisting of a combination of math, advanced electrical engineering courses and physics. Transferring to San Jose State College, he received his AB degree in mathematics (1948).</p><p style="margin: 5.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Helvetica">After graduation, Charlie worked as a broadcast engineer for Bay Area radio stations until 1952, when he joined Ampex specifically to undertake the VIDEOTAPE recorder project. Fruits of his efforts were introduced to the public in 1956 at the CBS Affiliates’ Meeting in Chicago. The VIDEOTAPE recorder was a reality.</p><p style="margin: 5.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Helvetica">At Ampex, Charlie has served as a project engineer, senior project engineer, chief video engineer and manager of advanced video development.
