Thought this might be of interest to some of you. This was the last episode of the program - pretty cool and innovative that they devoted an entire episode to the behind-the-scenes technical aspects of production. :thmbsp:

One has to wonder what became of the carefully maintained tape library...I'm not sure what PBS' track record is with retaining tape media.

Good looking tape for starting on 3/4". No head switch visible at the bottom considering the early top-load Sony decks they were using to xfer to 2". What is the camera at 10:05 in? Has an almost NBC Nebraska logo on the side but an odd shape I cannot identify. A bit hard to see in this tape...and I was in the biz then. I first met CMX 2" editing in Phila a year or so after this program. Coming from the sticks it was up there with landing on the moon.
