<DIV>(Woonsocket, RI)—More than 80 people—including New York SMPTE Section
members from NYC and Connecticut—got a chance to see restored Quad VTR's
at work as the New England Section of the Society of Broadcast Engineers, SBE
Chapter 11 and Mass. Broadcasters Assn. took a special trip in June.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>They toured the Museum of Broadcast Technology in Woonsocket, Rhode
Island, with museum co-founder and QuadList member Tom Sprague explaining
repairs to the FM section of a TR-70 that allowed it to be playing tape.
Tom also told about the late 1970s high-banding of the museum's Ampex
VR-1000HB.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>One RCA TR-600 was working next to an idle sibling, an RCA-TPR-10
portable Quad was on display, among other machines the museum has. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>A number of cameras were working, enabling a bit of "hands-on," including
RCA TK-44As that long-time network and now ESPN engineer and MBT's Jay Ballard
has been nursing back into operation. TK-47s were also working.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>An RCA film island was also in operation, featuring TP-7 slide and TP-66
16mm film projectors feeding a TP-55 multiplexer seen by a TK-28B film pickup
camera.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Visitors were treated to some meaty material during a light buffet: Video
and film clips from the late Joe Rozien's collection. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Those included Editec and VTR enhancement demos from 1958-9, and the
entire 1959 "Kitchen Debate" captured by an RCA TK-41 and recorded by an Ampex
VR-1000.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Rozien's home movies of the setup for the Moscow showcase helped show
what it took to accomplish that in 1959.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The museum is saving a venerable collection of television gear in an apt
location: The former Woonsocket Institute for Savings. The former bank's
large vault stores the museum's collection of manuals and spare parts.</DIV>

<DIV>Fast-forward to the September meeting, which was a presentation of 4K
Digital Cinematography by Sony.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The next meeting continues to show how far electronic image-making has
come: Advanced Video Codecs and DSLR Cinematography. 6:30pm doors
open on Oct. 17 at Rule Camera in Boston.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Someone should bring a VR-3000 and PCP-90 for comparison.</DIV>
