The snob appeal of digital is straight-up evident in every walk of middle-class (and up) life. We are talking digital sound, digital disc, digital dashboards, digital computers, digital TV (soon), and just plain old digital readout. If you’re living in an analog household, you just cannot cut it anymore—not with the Joneses down the block, and certainly not with us. Take plain old readout. Liquid crystals and light-emitting diodes are ridiculously ubiquitous, from the cabbie’s taximeter to the airline pilot’s instrument display to VCRs (even low-rent ones) to wristwatches. There is something strangely gratifying in manag¬ ing one’s life in numerical flashes, with the exception of the out-and-out bummer of seeing a 7 a.m. readout on your alarm dark after an evening’s excess. An editor, affectionately known as the young curmudgeon, recently visited a friend who is an upscale orthopedist by day and an audio/videophile by night. After being shown around the bone man’s competently equipped media room, the young curmudgeon was overheard muttering to his wife: “Dammitall. He’s got more digital readouts than we do. ” The doc’s autodialer handset (with digital readout phone number, naturally) was the coup de grace. It was a sweet anecdote for us. No longer do people compete with conventional status symbols—prep schools, BMWs, country homes, men’s clubs. Why, the stakes are much higher. One thing you should immediately know about digital: what you hear is not necessarily what you get. As Marty Porter explains in his piece “Heard Any Good Movies Lately?, ” digital doesn’t necessarily mean “pure” digital. Most of what we hear in cinema—high- quality sound though it sometimes is—is some kind of second-generation audio mastered from analog and transferred to digital. Hollywood knows this, and Hollywood knows that folks like us know this. So producers are now planning to digitize movie soundtracks from top to bottom. And videophiles will eventually benefit when the Hi-Fi (albeit analog) tapes come out. The digital age has also brought certain aesthetic wonders, and this month we offer a five-page display of computer art. It’s one of our infrequent forays into the offspring of research and development, a satisfying merger of science and beauty. That computer art isn’t yet considered fine art doesn’t bother us a whit. Soon, as you’ll see in our portfolio, critics will be debating its merits. Is it art? Write and tell us what you think. In recent months we’ve been rather closemouthed about giving you previews of what’s coming in future issues. There are two reasons for this. One, we don’t like our competi¬ tion to know our plans. Two, we often change our minds. This month, however, we’d like to break silence and give you a preview of the May issue. We’re planning a special number, dubbed the “software special” in interoffice memos. In it is an exciting lineup of stories. For starters, we’re publishing the toughest video trivia quiz you’ll ever take. There are 100 questions designed to keep you up all night with your VCR. After you’ve taken the test, we offer our editors’ and critics’ choices of their “Hot 100” prerecorded titles. We have a tough, critical look at how exercise tapes sometimes can be harmful to your health; and an in-depth report about violence in rock video. And that’s not all. We also have an interview with a Hollywood giant. Don’t miss it. 6 Video QWhy are TDK Hi-Fi video Reference tape.

  • VHS and VCR (Edited from Wikipedia)
    VHS And VCR (Edited from Wikipedia) SUMMARY A videocassette recorder, VCR, or video recorder is an electromechanical device that records analog audio and analog video from broadcast television or other source on a removable, magnetic tape videocassette, and can play back the recording. Use of a VCR to record a television program to play back at a more convenient time is commonly referred to as timeshifting. VCRs can also play back prerecorded tapes. In the 1980s and 1990s, prerecorded videotapes were widely available for purchase and rental, and blank tapes were sold to make recordings. Most domestic VCRs are equipped with a television broadcast receiver (tuner) for TV reception, and a programmable clock (timer) for unattended recording of a television channel from a start time to an end time specified by the user. These features began as simple mechanical counter-based single-event timers, but were later replaced by more flexible multiple-event digital clock timers. In later models the multiple timer events could be programmed through a menu interface displayed on the playback TV screen ("on-screen display" or OSD). This feature allowed several programs to be recorded at different times without further user intervention, and became a major selling point. The Video Home System (VHS) is a standard for consumer-level analog video recording on tape cassettes. Developed by Victor Company of Japan (JVC) in the early 1970s, it was released in Japan in late 1976 and in the United States in early 1977. From the 1950s, magnetic tape video recording became a major contributor to the television industry, via the first commercialized video tape recorders (VTRs).

When did the rascals of “The Front Page” turn into the scoundrels of “Absence of Malice”? Why did reporters stop being heroes played by Clark Gable, Bette Davis and Cary Grant and become bit actors playing rogues dogging at the heels of Bruce Willis and Goldie Hawn? It all happened in the dark as people watched movies and sat at home listening to radio and watching television. “The Image of the Journalist in Popular Culture” explores the continuing, evolving relationship between the American people and their media. It investigates the conflicting images of reporters in movies and television and demonstrates, decade by decade, their impact on the American public’s perception of newsgatherers in the 20th century. The class shows how it happened first on the big screen, then on the small screens in homes across the country. The class investigates the image of the cinematic newsgatherer from silent films to the 1990s, from Hildy Johnson of “The Front Page” and Charles Foster Kane of “Citizen Kane” to Jane Craig in “Broadcast News.” The reporter as the perfect movie hero.

  • Sanitizing the Seventies Pornography, Home Video, and the Editing of Sexual Memory
    WHITNEY STRUB Sanitizing the Seventies Pornography, Home Video, and the Editing of Sexual Memory ABSTRACT During the 1980s US feminist sex wars, pornography edited its own history, leav- ing a distorted record both less problematic and less queer than scholars have yet recognized. Academic inquiry into pornography coincided with home-video boom years, and research often took place in adult backrooms, necessarily because pornography was so poorly archived. Yet even as access has shifted from VHS to digital, the field has yet to reckon with how its interpre- tive frameworks were shaped by a material history in which the films that scholars watched were often altered from the versions patrons had seen in theaters. Gone from both straight and gay films were many transgressive sex acts that had frequently been staples of the genre, affecting the perceived oeuvre of nearly every hardcore filmmaker of the era. This article recov- ers the lost history of sexual media editing, arguing for a more carefully historicized interro- gation of the commercial sources of our porn archives. KEYWORDS censorship, home video, new video studies, pornography, sex wars At the height of the s feminist sex wars, pornography edited its own history. Few noticed and no official archives recorded or preserved this change, but the interpretive stakes were, and remain, high. Scenes disappeared, and with them the social meanings of texts, resulting in a disconnect between embodied histori- cal experiences and the later textual interpretations of those works. The pornog- raphy industry sanitized its s iterations, leaving a distorted record that narrowed the scope of its erotic imaginary in ways that left it both less misogy- nistic and less expansive, a triumph of the banal and the genital that necessitates intervention, since the “porno chic” that scholars have inherited is in large part an industrial memory production of the sands, as pornography’shis- tory was quietly disciplined and revised over the course of its various platform adaptations.

Power, Pain, and Pleasure in Pornography: A Content Analysis of Pornographic Feature Films, 1972-1985 Abstract Within the last decade, a view has emerged in governmental publications, the popular press, and research conducted in the fields of communications and film studies whichegar r ds pornography as being typified by material which is violent or which exhibits unequal relations of power between the sexes. This dissertation employs content analysis to investigate the portrayal of male and female characters and relationships in pornographic films. The investigation empirically operationalizes certain broadly defined concepts that are often used in conjunction with pornography, concepts of unequal power relations and of the subordination or de-humanization of characters. Specifically, certain observable components of unequal power relations have been postulated and investigated throughout the range of films sampled. In addition, communication patterns, demonstrations of affection and of sexual pleasure are analyzed, as well as rates of violent and abusive behavior.
