<div>The RA-4000 discussion last week got me thinking about the recording of
SMPTE time code. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>So here are a couple of questions and we will see who comes up with the
correct answers.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>What is the record level as shown on the audio meter for SMPTE time code
and why?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The AVR series dealt with time code in a straightforward manner. Why
did the VR series of machines have to be modified? List more than one
reason.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>What was the VR Modification provided by AMPEX? Bonus points if you
can tell me what kit it came with.</div>
