This demonstration tape was released by Ampex in the late 1960s or early 1970s. It was designed to showcase the performance of their 2-inch quadruplex videotape over multiple generations. The videotape recorder used is an Ampex AVR-1, which for many years was the highest quality videotape recorder available. If interested, there is some good info about the AVR-1 at this site: www.lionlamb.us... -- scroll down until you find the AVR-1 section. This thing was a beast!
This copy was sourced from an original 2-inch tape provided by Ampex. Using hardware, I upconverted it to 720p in order to maintain the smooth 60fps frame.
