<DIV><SPAN>Hi Folks,</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN>The Ampex VPR-20 had a Hetrodyne color adapter which allowed you to
playback color in the field for review purposes.It had a RF (channel 3 or 4)
output, I used it at NAB in 1981, on a hand truck type of camera/recorder roll
around remote which I built with a 12" Sony TV set. <BR></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN>We would show it side by side with a 19" Zenith TV set next to a
color monitor with the same output fed thru a external TBC in most trade
shows.<BR></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN>It was based on a chip, probably from National Semiconductor.and
was packaged in a shielded metal box and was about 3" x 9" x 1/2" and it was
an option which fit inside the case, This was an Al Trost design and worked
very well.</SPAN></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
