Closed-Circuit Video Recording for a Fine Music Program

W. A. Palmer

The requirement that an experimental series of “Standard Hour” television concerts be released in six markets on 16mm film posed special problems of economics and quality. Closed-circuit special video recording was used incorporating a number of unconventional techniques such as the use of direct-positive “reversal” masters and negative-image release prints. Prescoring was used for all musical numbers and audio procedure made use of ¼-in, magnetic tape, 16mm magnetic film, and a direct-positive electro-printed variable-density sound track for final release.
