Ahhh… Those were the days! I was an on-line videotape editor who worked at several post-production facilities in Manhattan from the 80's to the late 90's. It was a great job and paid well. But it took a special kind of person that didn't mind working long hours at any time and on any day (including weekends & holidays). The on-line post-prod phase was usually the last step in a production. That often meant working under a hard deadline. Furthermore, on-line editing was not cheap. $500-$1000 an hour was not unheard of depending on what gear (CG, ADO, DDR, Switcher, VTR format, (1" was always a PITA to swap reels)) was used in the edit suite. Also billable: you, your assistant, gourmet food and candy, tape stock, the VO guy... it all adds up. I mostly edited spots and network show packages. My room was an end-to-end CCIR-601 SDI 4:2:2 / D1 videotape format edit room. A post session could last anywhere from 3 - 12 hours. Basically your stuck in a somewhat small 6 chair, dark freezing room with people smoking, eating and spelling coffee as they fumble around looking for their beeper. Time can move slowly and everyone notices how many edit previews you do, or when you are spending too much time programming a 2ch DVE move, Once I noticed this guy note how many times I went to the bathroom (I suppose to ask for discount later on). But it is true that when you get up off your chair, everything stops except the clock. Besides being a fast passed and stressful job, you are required to where several hats. A salesman hat, be a video engineer, know how to operate complex devices like the CMX-3600 edit controller that ran on a Digital PDP computer with an 8" FDD and a paper tape reader for uploading the EDL (edit decision list) from a Teletype paper punch tape. But most importantly you need to be a creative person (after-all, editing moving images is an art). Above all, you must be professional and courteous with the client at all times. You want him/her to like working with you and feel comfortable. Now my very last point, never let them on to the fact that you know that your client doesn't know what he or she doing, so go ahead and through-in the roll of physiologist into the mix as well. Be reshoring and hold their hands until the dubs or done. What I'm saying is that anyone can get business cards that say "Executive Producer" on them. This job is not for everyone and I know lots of people who get burned out, developed a need for chemical assistance, to get through the session, only to go home to a crumbling relationship.

all this sounds complicated the way these systems work

I really wonder how Microsoft came so far with Windows.

From the terminal I guess this dated mid 80's?

I would like to see more of these videos. They are very educational about the telephone system!

Where is the computerized portion of the course? I would like to have a copy.

I know your video is 12 years old and you've probably long finished this project, but I have a dxc 1610 camera and was wondering how you found the ccu? I havnt been able to find one for sale or any info on them except for this video. Any advice?

I 'm Marty' widow I just love Three Dog Night never saw this loved it so much thanks so much

Original MTV at it’s best

Hello, Matt. I found your channel by looking up the HP Serial Data Analyzer. I noticed that we're both local to WFMJ-21. It's crazy how different and respectable the news programs were in the early 90's. I often wonder why I got caught up in keeping up with current events at such a young age. Watching those old news programs helped me remember why a little bit.

I luv how they did this , it's so cool. 3 hot singers with awesome voices.

I have never seen this one before ! Wow! Wow! Wow! Thank you!

0:13 Baba O'Riley - The Who (CSI: NY Theme)

Found it. Thanks for doing this.

Did you ever publish "Part 2"? I just picked up one of these. And plan on restoring it as well. I love comparing notes.

This was what encouraged local news stations to go all in on non stop local news kicking cartoon blocks to the curb. Why do I need to know who got shot in Homestead at 8:15 in the morning?! I just want to watch cartoons, damn it!

God, How I remember this !!!

I liked the help balloons. It's too bad they went away. That or they're still there and I'm too behind the times to find how to turn them on.

Who is this narrator? I’ve heard him before and it’s maddening I can’t figure out who it is hahaja

Drug inducted video that makes no sense....lol.

It's amazing how far technology has come: now all these electronic/digital switching systems are being retired and services being transitioned to VoIP with countries like the UK (for example) completely switching off POTS/PSTN by 2027.

I went to the trial one day, we ditched nursing school and hoped we weren't on the news 🤣

OMG how can it look so good wow! I can't really say it still holds up today, but it certainly doesn't look ugly at all! I'm impressed with thus little animation!

That's one weird looking set!

From 1977 to 1981 I was in the Coast Guard in Kodiak, Alaska, and hauled a DXC-1600 all around Alaska and even to England on one trip. All 80 plus pounds with the camera, control unit, and recorder.

4:37 The C(r)ocaine Network

This scared the crap out of me when I was a little kid, then a bunch of my big sisters friends were talking about going to their concert so I said to her If you don't come back I'm taking your room.

I wonder if some new guy was told he needed to change our the full bit bucket at the HGN office.

Where did you find the service manual at ?

i never use dolby nr.

Who’s this narrator? He’s familiar. He must’ve done the info tapes that came with old Chrysler stereo systems.

Just got myself an Amiga 4000 video toaster system.

12 years before MTV.

You might know this by now, but there's so many things you got wrong in this video. I also know exactly where you got some of your info and why it's wrong :/. I'd note it all, but I'm on my phone, and it was a lot of stuff.

Actually this is from 1981 because the Wbal action News theme from when Wbal was getting ready to switch from nbc to cbs was playing during the action News promo at the end of this clip

I know you posted this awhile ago. I just bought one of these. Need a little advice. Not much info on these. No power when I plug it in. Using a variac with dim bulb tester. All fuses good inside and out. Not sure what to check next.

people used to seem older, this guy was 23 at time of filming

I miss TAB :(

Its motorola
