ITAPE \JIEW SYSTEN\ I WAIT! Caution Moving the video tape recorder from a cold place to a warm place, or using it in a humid place will cause dew condensation on the drum and the video heads inside the unit. If recording or playback is carried out in this state, the heads may become dirty and the tape may be damaged. This could also result in a malfunction of the machine itself. To prevent this from occuring, the VCR should be plugged in for about one hour, with the FUNCTION button ofT, before starting recording or playback of a video cassette tape. This is particularly important when a video cassette is inserted for the first time after purchase of the video cassette recorder. Akai-Creative At Heart. WarningS & Precautions 1.

Things to know about Video cassette tapes • Only VHS video cassette tapes may be used with the Akai VCR. • To protect a recording, remove the recording defeat tab with a screwdriver. To re-record, cover the cavity with a piece of adhesive tape. • Never touch the tape with your fingers. • Never open the video cassette tape case. • Store standing on end in a well ventilated place, away from objects with strong magnetic fields and away from bright lighting. NOTE: • Before recording or playing back a video cassette tape, be sure to forward the tape slightly so that the leader tape ( the transparent part of the tape) is not in the head path.

  • The Broadcast Flag: Compatible with Copyright Law & Incompatible with Digital Media Consumers
    607 THE BROADCAST FLAG: COMPATIBLE WITH COPYRIGHT LAW & INCOMPATIBLE WITH DIGITAL MEDIA CONSUMERS ANDREW W. BAGLEY* & JUSTIN S. BROWN** I. INTRODUCTION Is it illegal to make a high-quality recording of your favorite TV show using your Sony digital video recorder with your Panasonic TV, which you then edit on your Dell computer for use on your Apple iPod? Of course it’s legal, but is it possible to use devices from multiple brands together to accomplish your digital media goal? Yes, well, at least for now. What if the scenario involved high-definition television (“HDTV”) devices? Would the answers be as clear? Not as long as digital-content protection schemes like the Broadcast Flag are implemented. Digital media and Internet connectivity have revolutionized consumer entertainment experiences by offering high-quality portable content.1 Yet these attractive formats also are fueling a copyright infringement onslaught through a proliferation of unauthorized Internet piracy via peer-to-peer (“P2P”) networks.2 As a result, lawmakers,3 administrative agencies,4 and courts5 are confronted * Candidate for J.D., University of Miami School of Law, 2009; M.A. Mass Communication, University of Florida, 2006; B.A. Political Science, University of Florida, 2005; B.S.

  • History of the Early Days of Ampex Corporation
    PAPER History of The Early Days of Ampex Corporation As recalled by JOHN LESLIE and ROSS SNYDER Alexander M. Poniatoff founded Ampex in 1944, primarily to manufacture small motors and generators for military applications. When WWII ended, the military contracts dropped off, and Alex had to search for a new line of business to continue his company’s existence. He and his small group of engineers heard a demonstration of a Magnetophon, a German magnetic tape recorder used by Hitler during WWII. The demonstration quickly convinced Alex to redirect his company and soon it was designing and manufacturing professional-quality magnetic tape recorders. Bing Crosby was a great help in Ampex’s early years. The company grew quickly and, within a short time, dominated the magnetic tape recorder market in radio, television, the record industry, and industrial and military markets for instrumentation recorders . Alex was born in Russia in 1892. His father was well-to- 0 INTRODUCTION do, and sent Alex to Germany for an education in engineering. After college, he returned to Russia only to see his country It has been amazing how many people today are asking become engaged in a civil war. Alex escaped to China, where questions about Ampex and the Company’s contribution to the he went to work for the Shanghai Power Company. He music recording industry, the radio and television broadcast immigrated to the United States in 1927 where he worked for industry and the stereophonic home entertainment field. There General Electric, Pacific Gas & Electric, and the Dalmo Victor is no question that Ampex was a major factor in each of these Corporation in San Carlos, California.

  • Strategic Maneuvering and Mass-Market Dynamics: the Triumph of VHS Over Beta
    Strategic Maneuvering and Mass-Market Dynamics: The Triumph of VHS Over Beta Michael A. Cusumano, Yiorgos Mylonadis, and Richard S. Rosenbloom Draft: March 25, 1991 WP# BPS-3266-91 ABSTRACT This article deals with the diffusion and standardization rivalry between two similar but incompatible formats for home VCRs (video- cassette recorders): the Betamax, introduced in 1975 by the Sony Corporation, and the VHS (Video Home System), introduced in 1976 by the Victor Company of Japan (Japan Victor or JVC) and then supported by JVC's parent company, Matsushita Electric, as well as the majority of other distributors in Japan, the United States, and Europe. Despite being first to the home market with a viable product, accounting for the majority of VCR production during 1975-1977, and enjoying steadily increasing sales until 1985, the Beta format fell behind theVHS in market share during 1978 and declined thereafter. By the end of the 1980s, Sony and its partners had ceased producing Beta models. This study analyzes the key events and actions that make up the history of this rivalry while examining the context -- a mass consumer market with a dynamic standardization process subject to "bandwagon" effects that took years to unfold and were largely shaped by the strategic maneuvering of the VHS producers. INTRODUCTION The emergence of a new large-scale industry (or segment of one) poses daunting strategic challenges to innovators and potential entrants alike. Long-term competitive positions may be shaped by the initial moves made by rivals, especially in the development of markets subject to standardization contests and dynamic "bandwagon" effects among users or within channels of distribution.

  • The D-6 Recording Format and Its Implementation As a High Performance Giga-Bit Vlbi Data Storage System
    THE D-6 RECORDING FORMAT AND ITS IMPLEMENTATION AS A HIGH PERFORMANCE GIGA-BIT VLBI DATA STORAGE SYSTEM Mikhail Tsinberg, Senior Research Manager, Toshiba America Consumer Products, Inc.Advanced Television Technology Center, 202 Carnegie Center, Suite 102, Princeton, NJ 08540 Phone: +1-609-951-8500, ext 12; FAX: +1-609-951-9172; e-mail:[email protected] Curtis Chan, President, CHAN & ASSOCIATES, Fullerton, CA Minoru Ohkubo, Vice President, YEM America, Inc., Rolling Hills Estates, CA 1. ABSTRACT Significant advances have been made in high-density magnetic recording technologies since the introduction of the D-1 (4:2:2) format in 1986. The D-6 recording format, which was proposed jointly by Toshiba of Japan and BTS of Germany, is the latest advancement in tape/head technology. Based on a 19mm, 11µm thick metal particle tape format, the D-6 format is capable of recording at a data rate of 1.2Gb/s without the use of compression. This paper will explain the D-6 format, the channel coding and error correction schemes utilized within the format, a newly developed magnetic tape and head technology and the format's hardware applicability in recording high resolution video and data. Specifically, this paper will discuss the new GBR-1000 HD-Digital Video Tape Recorder (HD-DVTR) based on the D-6 format and with simple modification, as a high performance instrumentation data recorder. In addition, a new Gigabit data recording system comprising of a VLBI (Very Long Baseline Interferometry) adapter called the DRA-1000 and a modified GBR-1000 will be discussed. The DRA-1000 allows the GBR-1000 to emulate a Gigabit instrumentation recorder, which is suitable for use in the VLBI astronomical observation environment.
