Hi, Adair,
<div><br></div><div>Thanks for the links. An interesting read.</div><div><br></div><div>Are all the tapes mainly PAL-M, or just the Umatic?</div><div><br></div><div>I see that BCN is mention as the 1" format.</div><div><br></div><div>There seems to be a TR-70 being used as a tape cleaner. Do I see rolls of toilet paper being used as a cleaning surface? Or has someone had Pellon material cut at wider than 2" and rolled up?</div><div><br></div><div>That would be useful.</div><div><br><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; font-family: Helvetica; border-spacing: 0px; font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: 17px; "><font class="Apple-style-span" size="3" style="font-size: 17px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px; ">Ted</span></font></div><div style="font-size: 14px; "><font class="Apple-style-span" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; "><br></span></font></div><div style="font-size: 14px; "><font class="Apple-style-span" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; ">Ted Langdell</span></font></div><div style="font-size: 14px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; ">Secretary</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; ">Quad Videotape Group</span></div><div style="font-size: 14px; "><font class="Apple-style-span" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; ">e-mail:<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "></span><a href="mailto:ted@quadvideotapegroup.com">ted@quadvideotapegroup.com</a></span></font></div></span></div><br><div><div>On Aug 1, 2014, at 5:45 PM, Adair Garcia Comaru via QuadList wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><br><br><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;"><span style="font-family:'Helvetica'; font-size:medium; color:rgba(127, 127, 127, 1.0);"><b>From:

Hi everyone,<br><br>
Here at Sao Paulo Brazil, has a public broadcast television station<br>
called TV Cultura, they are running a amazing job of restoration. With two<br>
RCA TR70 fully operational plus a rewind unit, they are digitizing from<br>
Quad 2", 1", Betacam and U-Matic tapes<br>
(mainly Pal-M) to Quicktime mov archives and then to LTO backup tapes, at<br>
total around 130,000 hours of programs, it is an epic job for generations<br>
to come. They "un-retired" some old engineers in order to teach new ones<br>
and does this job. Unfortunately these<br>
old videos are available only by order, not free at web.<br><br>
