TV TAPE RECORDER .for the ultimate in tape production • DELUXE, PRECISION-BUILT, STRIKINGLY-STYLED • BUILT-IN EXTRAS LIKE PIXLOCK AND AIR BEARINGS • SPACE IN CONSOLE FOR ATC AND COLOR MODULES • SIMPLIFIED, ERROR-PROOF OPERATION For broadcasters and TV producers who require the very finest in tape equipment, the new TR-22 is the answer. Now going into stations and studios throughout the world, this deluxe, precision-built recorder includes many new features that lead to improvement in operating efficiency and picture quality. The compact design and the smartly styled console increase its usefulness, and will enhance the appearance, of any TV tape studio. All-Transistor Design The only tubes in the TR-22 are found in the monitor and oscilloscope. It is the only recorder that is totally transistorized in all recording and playback circuits. Among other things, the use of transistors reduces start-up time, requires less space, and increases reliability. Five-Second Starting Although the conservative specifications call for a warmup period of five minutes, it has been repcatedlv demonstrated that the TR-22 will playback an excellent picture in less than 5 seconds after it is turned on — from a cold start! This is especially important when a client suddenly appears. Air-Bearing Headwheel This is an exclusive RCA advantage which is standard equipment on the TR-22. Since the recording and playback heads ride on a cushion of air, there is an absolute minimum of jitter, improved SN ratio, and excellent frequency response. It all adds up to a better picture. Built-in Pixlock Also standard equipment on the TR-22, the Pixlock system provides for switching between tapes and other sources without roll-over, and enables you to create special effects. Other electronic editing aids include a tone oscillator for marking a cue channel. Result: A more professional production. Finest Pictures RCA transistor design, together with air-bearing headwheel, assures trouble-free recording and top quality reproduction of tapes. Self-adjusting circuits hold the high quality picture over long periods of time — without an operator constantly adjusting controls. This kind of performance can be duplicated day after day, enabling you to produce the finest of tapes. Simplified Operation Recording controls and playback controls are built on separate panels — one at either end of the tape deck — to reduce possibility of accidental erasings, etc. Signal lights tell the operator when to start, warn him when any trouble develops, and indicate the "mode" of operation. Eye-level monitors give visual checks on performance during recording and playback. Designed for Color There is room in the console for adding both Automatic Timing Correction and Color. These are plug-in, transistorized modules that simply slide into position. No external equipments are required. Self-Contained Console All the electronics, operating equipment, and accessories are neatly packaged in a single console. There are no external racks of equipment. The TR-22 can be easily set up in one spot requiring only 10 sq. ft. of space, and is also ideal for use in a mobile unit.
