2 The paper states that video tapes may be spliced or edited like audio tape recordings. They will be interchangeable from machine to machine. They can be erased and new material recorded many times. ’’However, so much of the machinery and electronics are common to both record and play back functions that no substan¬ tial cost reduction is in sight for a play back only machine, and indeed no production is planned for equipment solely for play back purposes.” (Direct quote from Mr. Ginsberg’s paper.) CBS, NBC, and Ampex will participate in the application experiments. Ampex officials expect that the production models will benefit greatly from these experiments and as a result they are leaving many operational standards open in order to benefit from this trial use. It is hoped that on production models perfect syncronization of picture and program sound may be effected which will greatly facilitate editing. Ampex officials make no claims that video tape will replace high quality 35 mm film. They state that the best video picture quality is not comparable with good original film. However they do forsee an application in motion picture production. Sequences may be shot simultaneously on film and on tape and the tape im¬ mediately played back for review without the delay necessitated by processing. This should result in a considerable monetary saving in motion picture production, although for this application too there are many problems to be solved. Mr. Snyder stated that a full engineering report, display and demonstration of the Ampex Video Tape Recorder will be presented by Mr. Ginsberg at the Fall Convention of the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers which will be held in Los Angeles, October 8-12, 1956. ##### From reports received from 31 engineers attending, the NAEB Radio and Audio Engineering Seminar was an unqualified success. One of the indications of its success was the desire, expressed by practically all of those present, that future seminars of a similar nature be held annually or at least every two years. Many indicated a willingness to pay their own expenses to future meetings.
