[I apologize in advance for those of you who read the related (but
 distinct) groups to which I have cross-posted]

I am conducting a research project which requires the use of 
full-motion video and/or animation.  The problem is to simulate the 
output from video cameras that overlook roads and highways.  The system 
operator would be able to control camera zoom and pan, and would need to 
be able to view traffic under at least hundreds of different conditions.
It is possible that we will consider using pre-recorded video to be 
displayed under computer control, but animated video techniques are 
also being considered.  I am specifically interested in information 
regarding:  

o Hardware for various platforms (SGI, Sun, Mac, PC)
o Software for animation and recommended platforms
o Storage devices best suited for storing large amounts of compressed video
o U.S. Companies which have animation production facilities

In addition to the above items, we would also be interested in hearing 
about any extremely high-end (supercomputer-based?) systems that might 
be used in the animation industry.  


Any experiences you would like to share about the above issues would 
be appreciated.  If a significant number of responses are received 
I will be glad to post a summary.

Please send email to pstatcw@psy.gatech.edu

Thank you,

Does anybody know of any video screens (direct view, lcd backlit, etc.) that can be
filmed at 24fps?  We need this for a film shot that needs to be put

I'm looking into 3chip Hi8 cameras for a documentary project. My
budget is in the $5,000 range. This would certainly include the new sony,
and, I think, the Hitachi. Other options include the older sony docable, used.
Has anyone actually USED the new Sony? or know of the older docable for sale?

Also, considering a basic editing setup, timecode-based, for doing rought/work 
cuts
and producing EDLs for final cutting in an online suite. The Vdeck would seem
to be a natural source deck, again, does anyone have REAL EXPERIENCE with this 
unit?

It's been a number of years since I've worked at a broadcast station . . . 
but back then an EBS test had to be conducted once a week between 8:30 AM 
and sunset.

>WHY is it done if there is no emergency?

Every radio/TV station participating in EBS monitors a specific station in
their community.  When the "attention signal" is broadcast, this special 
tone activates an alarm in EBS receivers at the other stations.  It's a 
way to let them know that something's up.  The weekly test checks this
system.

>If "news were to follow in the case of an actual emergency", WHOSE
>news?  One of the networks?  CNN?  The government?

In the event of a national emergency (highly unlikely these days) the 
"news" would likely begin with a presidential address.  That was really the 
original purpose of the EBS --- to get the president on-the-air, on 
virtually every radio and TV station --- within just minutes.  EBS has 
become much more useful for local emergencies --- tornadoes, hurricanes,
earthquakes, etc.  When a torando WARNING is issued, for example, many
stations take a live audio feed directly from the local National Weather
Service office.

Stations don't have to participate in EBS.  They certainly don't make any 
money for doing so.  It's a public service.  I doubt that they lose money 
either.  Think about how many station programming promo's or public service 
announcements you see during the day.  An EBS test simply replaces one of 
those.

Dear netters:
	Hello there, my name is Steven Bernstein, and I was wondering if anyone
who reads this group might be able to help me with a problem I'm having...
I'm new to actual Time Code editing, and my boss wants me to set up a set of 
tapes in a way I'm not sure how to accomplish.  We're using Panasonic S-VHS
decks: 1 AG7650 & 1AG7750. The controller is model AG770.  Is there a way, using
this equipment, to take a set of ten tapes and lay down sequential time code on
each tape?  

That is to say, since each of the ten tapes is only 60 mins. a piece, that we
want to have tape one consist of 00:00:00 to 00:59:29.  Tape two should be
01:00:00 to 01:59:29, so on and so forth.... I hope this is making sense....

So, the question stands: Is there a way to set up a sequence of ten tapes that
have a specific time coded hour on each individual tape with the above listed
equipment?  We don't actually want anything on the tapes yet.  At this point
we're simply trying to blackburst the tapes with time code on them.

				Thank you very much for your time,
						Steven

I'm not sure if this is the right newsgroup for this question or not,
but I've always wondered about this emergency broadcast thing.

How often is it done.  WHY is it done if there is no emergency?  Do
the TV stations just decide to air one whenever, or are they linked
with something that tells them when to do it?

If "news were to follow in the case of an actual emergency", WHOSE
news?  One of the networks?  CNN?  The government?

It also says "in voluntary cooperation" ... What happens if a station
doesn't want to do it?  Say, they'd rather get the bucks for the 30-sec
ad than the EBS logo and noise.  Do stations that cooperate get some
advantage?

not the best.  The new Umatic-SP decks that I am using now are a vast

Direct connection is allowed.  Can't use an amp, since that is meant to drive

handle on controlling the levels.  It is tough (pain in the butt mostly) to
control audio levels using the knobs on the deck.  Besides, I use dbx on the
audio, so the decks need to stay fixed.  I also have to mix several inputs.

Hello,

I have a Panasonic AG-7400 portable S-VHS recorder/player that I bought
here on the net a while ago, which I need to sell due to financial
problems.

The portable:

	AG-7400 Super-VHS player and recorder,
	Flying erase head,
	Hi-Fi recording/playing,
	Framing servo on record,
	BNC video connectors and pro 14 pin "Q" camera connector,
	Carrying case

This is not a camcorder or docking type of system.  This is a stand alone
professional portable that is usually used with a seperate (pro) camera.
This unit only records in SP mode, and can do SLP playback (but only
for "viewing purposes" as the heads are aligned for SP mode and you
cannot properly track a SLP tape).

I do _not_ have the power supply that came with the unit.  I only have
one battery for it also (it uses standard Panasonic camcorder batteries).
You can power it using a XLR 4 pin power cable (connected to a 12 volt
[running at least 3 amps] power source or a car lighter adapter).  I can
provide a car lighter adapter for the unit (ie: make one).

Also, the handle for the unit itself broke off internally.  The handle itself
is fine, just the connector inside the portable broke off.  The carrying case
though is in perfect condition, and can be used to carry the unit.

I bought the portable for $1700.  I will sell it to the highest bidder
(I'l looking for around $1300 at this point), unless I can't get a
reasonable bit for it, in which case I'll find something else to sell.

   Damnm I completely forgot about the Canon LX-100, which I know little about.
 But I _DO_ know about the Canon L-1.  I just got mine a few days ago.  Sadly,
I had to return it because of a small flaw in the CCD.
   The Canon L-1 is a superb selection for affordable broadcast quality video. 
If you're working in 3/4", S-VHS, or another "larger" small format, the L-1
will serve you quite well as a source camera.
   Here's my plan:  Shoot my field masters in Hi8 on the Canon L-1, transfer to
3/4" for editing.  It's that simple.  Want a more professional means of
editing?  Here's how it's done:
   Shoot with the L-1, recording SMPTE time code on one of the audio channels
with a portable TC generator.  Dub your Hi8 footage to BetaSP, make 3/4" window
dubs from those, and you're in there.

   Considering my (and others) budget, the L-1 is a smart solution.  Though it
was a tasty temptation, I simply could not afford the new Sony 3CCD Hi8
camcorder.

   As an afterthought, here's my recommendation:  Plan to buy a tripod and use
it all the time if you plan on getting good video from the L-1.  It's too
bulky, and too "barrel heavy" with the 15x lens to hold.  After all, it's built
shaped like a 35mm SLR.
   How about the SteadyCam Jr.?  To mount the L-1, you'll need to buy the 8x
zoom lens (the 15x is too heavy), and an L-1 adapter for it.  A smart
alternative to this is the "Action Boom", an incredible product that blows the
SteadyCam Jr. away.  Call Classic Video Products at (714) 650-1636 for details.
