yOW...CUT YOUR TV TAPE COSTS IN HALF! pack twice as much programming on a reel! all this on this! Photography Courtesy Reeves Sound Studios, Inc. Permits 50% Cost Reduction in Tape Inventory Reduces Tape Storage Space Cuts Tape Distribution Expense New RCA development enables you to operate any RCA recorder at 714 or 15 ips — without sacrificing compatibility This new engineering advance, available only for RCA TV Tape Recorders, combines all the benefits of standard quadruplex recording with the savings of half-track recording. It provides for tape speed to be switchable from conventional 15 inches per second to half speed at IV2 ips. Since this new approach uses quadruplex recording, tapes are interchangeable with other standard machines. Regular 2-inch tape is used. Standard editing techniques are employed. There are no picture discontinuities. And there is no discernible difference in resolution. You get the same high quality that you are now getting from RCA recorders. HOW IT WORKS: A new RCA headwheel assembly and capstan motor make it possible to use half-track recording and to cut tape operating speed in half. The new recorded track is only 5 mils wide as compared with 10 mils for conventional recording. As a result, twice as many tracks can be recorded on the same length of tape— permitting twice as much programming to be packed on a standard reel.
