Teletronics editing technique utilizes an Ampex 7500 one-inch tape recorder, manufactured for industrial use. At Teletronics, however, it has been adapted for sophisticated editing purposes and an entire editing room has been built around it. Just a few hours earlier, Gould confided, the room and the machine had been used for the first time to edit a complex one hour dramatic show — and he displayed photographic blow-ups of the editing session shot just that afternoon. The system is relatively simple: original footage recorded from the camera onto broadcast quality two-inch tape is transferred from the master tape room on the first floor of Teletronics' four-story building to the oneinch tape facilities on the second floor. A digital code is electronically recorded on both tapes every 1/30 of a second. The master tape is then stored until after the editing is completed. A Teletronics editor usually can electronically edit a minute spot and have a completed rough cut to screen for client approval in two to three hours. When the electronic work print is approved, the editing flow sheet information is fed into a computer which automatically conforms the twoinch master tape. Opticals and titles are added electronically. Kodak Grants $4.3 Million In 1968 Educational Aid Eastman Kodak Company wil contribute $4.3 million under iti 1968 educational aid program.
