The Care of Tape and Video Recorders in Closed Circuit Television
Guy White · Journal of the SMPTE · 1973
The rapid growth of closed-circuit television and videotape recording has brought a new aid to teaching, business, laboratories and to many parts of our normal social and business life. This article, reprinted from British Kinematography Sound and Television for September 1972, is intended primarily to assist the user of closed-circuit television to obtain the maximum performance from the video recorder and videotape and to ensure that this method of operation is not causing inferior results and the unnecessary replacement of videotape; however, the information and suggestions are applicable, as well, to equipment used in broadcasting and cablecasting. — K.
