[comp.graphics] Video Single Frame Recording

leo@bigboy.UUCP (12/04/87)

First my apologies for not cross posting this the first time.

I need some information and wonder if I might pick the collective brains and
libraries of the readers of this newsgroup.

I need a technical description of SMPTE time code as it applies to video, not
film. (ie. timing, levels, etc.)

Second I wonder if anyone has a tech manual describing the interface to the
SONY CONTROL-S and CONTROL-T jacks on their recorders with flying erase heads.
What I'm looking for is an electrical and software description for the editor
controller jacks on the machines.

I recently looked at some single frame controllers for the IBM pc and a sony
bvu 5850. The performance was excellent but the price was outrageous. So I'm
trying to duplicate some of the features on a smaller scale as a add in
anamation board for the PC.

Please e-mail if possible. If you tell me about a manual I would appreciate it
if you would include catalog numbers, addresses and phone numbers of the
publishers if possible.

Thanks in advance.
