Technical Details

Most of the video recordings used for gathering information for the book were made with Sony three-chip professional cameras. The lens was a Canon BVP-3 J18 with 2 X expander and 1.5 x and 2X teleconverters.

The recorder used most was a Sony Ed-beta recorder.

I used a Sony professional unidirectional microphone.

The video editing was done on a JVC professional VHS editor and FOR.A time base correcter.

Color prints were made with a Sony printer.

In the 1970s I started with a Sony single-tube consumer color camera with Sony half-inch recorder. Later, I used Sony Superbeta recorders. A few years later, I used several models of consumer single-chip cameras. The first of these was a Hitachi with MOS sensor. Later, I used a Panasonic single CCD. Next was a Sony single CCD. I now use digital equipment.
