The M.A.R.C. II System: A Modular Multiple Robotic Record/Play Videocassette System
Given that broadcast television operations are looking increasingly toward automation as an alternative mandated by economics, the previous generation of automatic cartridge or cassette playback systems have become outdated. By building on existing robotic technology, a reliable, deliverable system has been brought to fruition. By utilizing a modular library the system can be configured to meet individual requirements, and combining off-the-shelf operating system software with a readily available desktop computer has contributed to the rapid development and reliability of the overall system.
