Like you said, it all depends on the source video and what the content provider supplies.
I cut my teeth on FR-600, FR-900, FR-1400 Ampex. Bell&Howell, Mincom, and 3M. We had an RCA RADAR video recorder that had 4 foot diameter tape reels. |

I don't mean to intrude here but I was doing an internet search on Ampex FR-900's and was led to this post. Well I have four of them sitting within ten feet of me right now. I am doing a project at NASA Ames to resurrect two of them to digitize NASA's original master tapes from the lunar orbiter missions to the Moon.
If you remember anything or know any possible information where we can find any information about them (we have some data but not enough), would you please contact me?

Anything you might remember or know or any data that you might have would be of incredible value.
Thanks
