by my experience they are a missing one camera type, that is the original
TK 44 a three Vidicoin color camera designed for use in operating
rooms, 10 were produced for medical use. to my knowledge only 3 were sold
the rest were given away. I know it well as I worked with it at the Army Medical
Center in 1956-7 and at the University of Michigan in 1958-62. Later while
at RCA I sold the TK-44A (<SPAN

you'd want to know that the ATSC 3.0 demonstration station is taking shape
on Black Mountain in Las Vegas.<BR><BR>One of the people helping to build
the station is QuadList member John Turner, head honcho at Turner
Engineering in New Jersey.<BR><BR>He advised the Old VTR's group this
morning:<BR><BR>"We are building a real time ATSC 3.0 transmission system
on ch 50 at Black Mountain for the convention. Pulling this RF off air at
the Grand Lobby and North Hall. Big demo will be a 65” LG OLED consumer
receiver being sold in Korea today.<BR><BR>Content is UHD stored on a
Harmonic (Omneon) 50TB, 2 RU server. The server is playing out digital
video at 8X 1080I!<BR>Sure interesting to compare this new system to the
1960’s analog VTRs.<BR><BR>John (My 50th consecutive NAB this
year)"<BR><BR><BR>Turner helped build the ATSC 3.0 station at NAB last
year, and has participated in a number of other NAB demonstration projects
over the last several decades.<BR><BR>He also enjoys restoring Quad and
other vintage video tape equipment in his company's New Jersey
facility.<BR><BR>The "NextGen TV" demo area is in the Grand Lobby
between North and Central halls.<BR><BR><BR>More about the ATSC 3.0 demo
here:<BR>http://atsc.org/news-release/next-gen-tv-hub-showcase-benefits-new-broadcast-tv-standard-2017-nab-show/#.WO-pPjxHaEc<BR><BR>"Tomorrow's
technology" is just a short walk away from where the Museum of Broadcast
Technology is bringing a showcase of vintage television gear to the
entrance of Northhall opposite the taxi drop off.<BR><BR>In the last
several years, the Museum's exhibit has showcased 2" quad video recorders
along with a number of portable television cameras from the mid to late
70s and early 80s.<BR><BR>MBT's Paul Beck advises this year's display is
RCA: "One original TK-31 with tubed power supply and one TK-34 with
WP-16 and external focus regulator. And... an original ZOOMAR 3x1 studio
lens.<BR><BR>Yep ! (Image) Orthicons are making a come back !!! You
just wait and see !!!!"<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>Should be an interesting
NAB, that's for sure!<BR><BR>I'll have an announcement about the "Annual
Quad Videotape Group Luncheon at NAB" in a forthcoming separate
email.<BR><BR>As always it will be on 12:30 PM, Tuesday, April 25, 2017.
The location is being identified. It will likely be near the MBT
exhibit.<BR><BR>Looking forward to seeing folks there. Unless something
changes dramatically in the next two weeks, we will be walking the floor
rather than standing in a booth.<BR><BR>Ted<BR><BR>Ted
