Ampex Electronic Editor (1961)
Added 2022-09-30 16:24:20 +0000 UTCThis 16mm film from my collection is actually a Kinescope (film shot off a CRT) of an edited 2" Quad Ampex videotape, made for trade shows to be shown to groups of guys at conventions in conference rooms, board rooms, and such. "Hey guys - be sure to stick around till the end cause you don't wanna miss our great Ampex Corp. Gag Scene at the end!" Different times indeed. A pretty straightforward demonstration of new devices used to "insert edit" and assemble synced shots, things that have been taken for granted in linear editing for many decades, but new and experimental in 1961. As always I transferred this with my own Telecine. Enjoy!
