<DIV>you bring up an interesting point David with the BVH 500 one
inch machine.. they had a 'color adapter or something for
viewing/// we would love to find one for our
BVH 500 we also have the vpr 20? the Ampex brother

<DIV>Ed,</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Congratulations on your acquisition. The TR 5 was a stripped down machine
that enabled it to be more mobile. Therefore many of the correction circuits
used to fully reproduce a broadcast quality playback picture were not included
in this machine. Although the recording will be a good one (if all is working
OK), you will only see demodulated video upon play back that will give you a
good sense that a recording was made. Without the RCA correction circuitry
such as CATC for color time base correction, CAVEC for velocity correction and
the color dropout compensator option, the recovered picture (depending on the
options used as on any 2" machine) may be raw, flickering color (if color is
present). So in the remote truck, the operator upon conclusion of a record
session could verify that a recording had been made by playing back this
"demod" picture. An analysis of the FM (RF) and control track signals on the
scope added further confidence that all was OK. An experienced operator who
knew the machine well would have a better sense of confidence than one who was
not, therefore being more at ease with a "demod" only picture. It is a bit of
a leap of faith to tell the director in the truck that all will look fine upon
playback of his show in the studio on a fully optioned playback machine.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Years later when the first portable field one-inch type C VTR's came out
such as the Sony BVH 500, it was typical to confirm the integrity of the
recording by observing the same "demod" only picture with no time base
correction.</DIV>

<DIV>Your might be interested to know that the RCA list price for a TR 5 was
$20, 950 in 1966.</DIV>
