      Thanks for your considerations. As far as I know, head switching artifacts on B-format are way less disturbing than those typical of Quad VTRs. I’ve not tried them with my BCN-52, maybe I’ll do it in the future, when needed. As for lower consumption, you have to consider that they can apply several filters in real time, while software based workstations are not RT and a good performance PC is usually eager of power.

    Well? There you go. If you'd rather have a Swiss watch instead of a tape recorder. The, complexity, over the roof. The alignments, mind-boggling. The intricacy, to the extreme. For a tape recorder. Unlike, we had been, building them. Since the 1950s in the USA. Where we are far more, practical, sensible and efficient. When good is, good enough. It does not have to go to the moon. And play. On another planet. Americans don't design and build, tape recorders like that. We design and build them for,, rock 'n' roll. And so I see no need in this extreme, complexity. To pull some tape. This is over the top. And you need to know how to fix, Swiss watches.. Most of us are Engineers, however. We are not Swiss, watch builders. We are Americans who know how to do it. In the most practical manner. And so? I worked for one of the most Legendary. I declined offers. From the other 2 major manufacturers. Of the Big Three. I declined offers from. As these companies got to know a great technician, like myself. That really doesn't put up with this kind of Folderol. As it is unnecessary. To the extreme. For a goofball machine to record some rock 'n' roll. Or even some, Verdi, Mozart, Wagner, Brahms,, Gershwin, Beethoven, Bernstein, et al. American recorders worked great. For decades of trouble-free, Performance. For years and years. Without having to baby the baby. Like this monstrosity. It's not that Studer's, aren't good. They are really lovely machines. They are just overly complex. For what they have to do. As to any people. Have psycho hairs up their asses. And wants some kind of, inadvisable, perfection. Where cost is, No Object. For the very wealthy. It's an object for the rest of us, however. And when you consider the fact. That even an American, Studio Tape Recorder. For just, 2 track, Stereo. Still cost. As much as my brand-new 1978 Toyota Corolla. For a single American-made stereo tape recorder. That is not cheap. Those were very Robust Machines. Designed and built like a Tank. For rock 'n' roll war. To see who will make the most money. For the investments, they made. And is this expensive elaborate tape recorder. Justifiable in its expense? I say no. It's over the top. And for what? To ensure. Somebody will have something to play this in 100 years? Will it matter then? Will it go to the top of the charts? I think not. It will make no difference. In the end. And will just make you go broke. All the sooner. This thing is a nightmare. To keep working, perfectly. Unlike an American machine. That requires far less maintenance and calibrations. On a regular basis. And after all. When all is said and done.. How many times. How many military aircraft have the Swiss manufacturer? How many times have the Swiss, gone to the moon? What scientific advances have the Swiss brought forth? Yeah really none. The Swiss really haven't contributed, much of anything. They are innocuous. They really haven't accomplished, much of anything. Outside that of making watches. And watches are not Tape Recorders. They are timekeeping devices. As recorders also do that. On their own. In a linear fashion. You needn't program an analog machine to make a recording. You can just press the record and play buttons together. And Voilà! You're making a lovely recording. That sounds every bit as good if not better than that, Studer, recorder. That sends your audio through far more gobbledygook, electronics. With every transistor junction.. Causing distortion. And the more transistors? The more distortion will be piled on. Unnecessarily. So when it came to very Clean and Punchy sounding, Recorders? You really couldn't beat the, simpler, lower, typology of, transistor integration. Than that.. Of the simply smarter. American Recorders. Over those, whack a doodle, Swiss watch machines. That are over the top. In complexity. And alignment, calibration, procedures. And the teeny tiny little Springs. Found all over that machine. That turn it into a Nightmare to, Maintain. American machines far easier to maintain. Far more practical. Far more economical. Far more robust. More reliable. And actually, Better Sounding. Because you're going through so many fewer, transistor junctions. In the electronics. The less the better. Less is more. Keep it simple, stupid. TThe Swiss don't know how to do that? So while these Studer machines are a Mechanical Marble. They are really not worth the time and the trouble. As they age. And American machines. So much easier, to maintain their reliability and sonic integrity. Far easier accomplished on American Recorders. So if you like to dabble in the repair of Swiss watches? Then you might want one of these machines? But not many of us are into Swiss watch repair. We like to repair, Chevrolets and Fords. Not BMWs and Mercedes-Benz. As America. Does not have, Autobahns. With no posted speed limits. It's not like that in the USA. And so? You still have to drive your Ferrari or Lamborghini's. 35 mph to work.. So what good does a Lamborghini or Ferrari do you? Do you get to work any faster? No you do not. And does the minor fender bender, cost $500 repair? Or, $5000 to repair? You might want to consider that? Before you pick up a machine designed for Paul McCartney. Instead of Bob Smith. So what do you want to do, Bob? Purchase Paul McCartney's excessively expensive recorder? For your lousy rock 'n' roll? Really? Have delusions of grandeur posed an issue to you? And wonder why you can't have everything, Just So Perfect? And why do you need that kind of, perfection? Is your name Paul McCartney? Are you worth over $1 billion? That you think you need that kind of perfection? Yeah no. You do not need that kind of Paul McCartney, perfection. Because only Paul McCartney is, Paul McCartney. So you don't have to be. Because you can't afford, to be. And now what are you doing screwing around with, 50 through 80-year-old machine? Do you know that recording tape is now nearly, unobtainable? And all the good formulations are gone? And the performance now suffers? And the tape doesn't sound so great? And you want that? With your perfect machine? Will that make any difference? Do you listen to the tape winding at fast-forward? Or do you listen to the music playing back? What's more important? Watching the reels go around really fast? Because you're in a hurry? In a hurry over what? Your tape is not rewinding fast enough? Have you considered seeing a Psychiatrist? Well I think that kind of sums up, Swiss build recorders. As you would need to have a, mental issue. To want to purchase a Studer. Because the grass is always greener. On the other side of the pond. Yet no. It's not. American recorders are just Great. And sound so good. So clear. So punchy. Without a lot of excessive transistors in the signal chain. And to do what? To make for some dry implausible perfection? Yeah no. It's not going to make any difference. You are not Paul McCartney. It won't make you $1 billion. That I can guarantee. And so it's nice to see that this 50-year-old machine still functions. And what rock 'n' roll hits is it recording? None. It's archaic. It's a fossil. It's a dinosaur. It's dead. A dead format. It's like trying to find, Leaded Gasoline. For your 1953 Buick. And you might not be able to find any? Now what do you do? Can you just pour some lead into your gas tank? No. No you will have to purchase your own Refinery. And that might be a tad impractical? But not if you are Paul McCartney. As he used these Studer, tape recorders. Because he was Paul McCartney. And could afford the Technicians, Full Time. To keep that tape recorder going. Where. With American machines. That was not necessary. The machines just keep working reliably. You don't have to keep, fucking with them. Like you do a Studer. Just to keep the tape rolling smoothly. I mean come on now? What do you know about Mechanical Engineering? Would you design a nightmare like these Studer's? And if so? Why? Are you Paul McCartney? No? So I find these recorders all rather funny. Having had to maintain them, myself through the decades. How long have you been working on them? 2-3 weeks? And you think you got it down? Au contraire. You got your hamburger down. With your beer. But you are not in Hamburg Germany. So why are you eating a hamburger in the USA? Do you always eat German food in the USA? And if so? Why? Don't you know a hotdog is more American? And you can insert a hotdog. Into a special place of your body if you want to. You can't do that with a hamburger! Because it will break and fall apart. When you try to cram it into your ass! Where a hotdog will slide in smoothly. In the USA. We perfected that! And that's why I went to work for, Hot Dog, Scully. I would leave Ampex, 3M and MCI, behind. Scully's just sounded and worked, Better. I made certain of that! I was the Quality Control Manager. And the overall, Technical Troubleshooter. So? Take it from one of the last surviving members. Of these Legendary Recorder Companies. You don't know what you're talking about. As you purchased an old, bag of springs. Lots and lots of little springs. And little rollers. Until your eyeballs fall out.. Because you are not a Swiss watch repair person. And never were. Most of us were more practical in the USA and purchased a, Timex. Not a Rolex.. One cost $50. The other cost $5000. And could irradiate you to death. But hey the hands glowed! Great! You're dead from radium. What's important to you? Life? Or glowing watch, pointers? You decide. But I can tell you this. You are not. Paul McCartney. So better check your bank balance. It will dwindle quickly with a Studer. But if you like to watch tape reels turning fast instead of watching a movie on TV? This would be the recorder for you! As the tape always wins. In the end. When it comes to the end of the real. And that's the story of Tape Recorders, children. Now go put your Scully to bed. RemyRAD

    Nice collection!! I have a Sony APR-5003V in good condition, that I use for accessing my archives. Quick question for you if you happen to see this... I've never changed the lithium battery in mine, and I'm guessing it's about time I should. I did find all the info on how to do that in another forum. But, I'm wondering if removing and replacing it will cause all of my calibration data to be erased. Is there any way to change the battery and retain the memory? Is there a capacitor buffer that would give me a few minutes? Or, is the memory powered when the machine is on? Or, is it possible to jumper in an additional battery?

    • @hdvs
      @hdvs Před 4 měsíci

      There is no provision for retaining the stored data for the time necessary to replace the battery. Once you remove it, all data are lost. Also no sort of external storage was possible, contrary to Studer A8xx series, for example.

    It's amazing to see my old baby working in great shape! There's no perfect digital playback signal available. Only the analog output has the final TBC correction.

      Did you work with them as a tape operator or an R&D / maintenance engineer? It was a very advanced machine, if compared with composite PAL 1” B and C format. Digital handling of the signal was mandatory, since the Y signal was split by 2 and then recombined before and after going to the tape. Then there was the “usual” TBC as it was meant for timing stabilization. I like the way the offset and gain of each signal component were automatically handled to assure the correct tracking over the entire level range. Thanks to this method, the machine was always transparent to levels. Then the advanced diagnostic, when connected with a terminal. I have two machines, one currently operating, the other with some problems (tracking can’t be adjusted and it seems some internal sync is missing). Difficult to troubleshoot.

      I developed the TBC and the DDS clock generators for it. The clocks of the video output DACs are phase and frequency adjusted for TBC purposes.

      @@Oldclunker-ge5zp Great! I'd like to privately message with you, there is so little knowledge of these VTR's around. I've the full set of manauls and worked in the maintenance department where 1" C and other broadcast tape machines were repaired and kept to specs. I also own Japanese first generation HDTV tape machines and the Philips Woodoo, which you may know too. Do you perhaps remember how many BCH-1000 were manufactured? I believe somehing around 100 units, if the serial numbers on the recovery tapes say good.

      Yes we can chat. Which way would you suggest? I also heard there were like 100 production units sold. Since it was a publicly funded project, EU95, I wonder if some documents are on an archive? There are also several museums in Germany alone who have gathered information about that stuff. Try to search for Fernsehmuseum, Radiomuseum, Röhrenmuseum, Rundfunkmuseum. I don't have records from that time, except my memory. But you could also research patents in the 1985-1989 range assigned to Bosch Fernseh GmbH or later BTS/Philips. The development team consisted mostly of 25-year old guys, and it was our first job. Some of them have already passed, and now we are reaching retirement age.

      ​@@Oldclunker-ge5zp Sorry for the delay and thanks for accepting to chat. Since there is no way to contach each other via youtube and I don't like to post publicly my email address, I'd suggest to do this way: please write a technical question which is not that easy to respond if someone didn't worked on these units. If my answer will be yes I know, then the answer won't be discolsed and it will be the password to access a text file protected by password. I'll post the link here. If I won't be able to answer the question, you'll ask a new one. What do you think? Regarding patents and technical documents I've found almost nothing. I personally know the founder of Fernsehmuseum, but had no luck finding out more than what is already on his website. Will try with the other museums you have listed. Thanks for telling how the development team was composed.

      Actually I also have the standard version and didn’t find too much difference in sound between them. Perhaps putting the recorders just in front of a loudspeaker shouting at 130 dB SPL could reveal some differences. The most involved parts would be the headblock and the mechanics plane where all the parts are screwed to. This is the standard unit before being totally restored: czcams.com/video/7Am6gctCqIk/video.html

    I've been waiting long to see the image quality of MII and compare it to Betacam SP. I can notice here quite similar dropouts as with Betacam SP. It would be nice to see the capture of the original tape or at least the same copy without CZcams compression. Would it be possible?

      Only the machine running a tape is DASH. All the three remaining recorders are pure analogue.

      Hi, yes the DCR-6000 and the two BCH-1000 are still here, together with Sony HDV-1000 and HDD-1000 and an old Bosch BCM-40E. Unfortunately now I can’t access them because the room where they usually stay is full of equipment. But I’ll take more videos for sure in the future. Thanks for your comment.
