Interesting to see the mechanical noise levels falling as the broadcast technologies developed. Betacam SP format still works superb for recording the AFM analogue audio tracks, and there are a few of us still doing it. The video recording was low resolution compared to today's formats, but the audio quality still beats anything recorded in a digital format, including the hi-res sampling rates.

It's not a 1" type C, it's a 1"type B segmented helical. Segmented helical is a hybrid between quadruplex and full field helical. It lays the video tracks diagonally across the tape like full field helical scan machines, but takes several tracks, usually 5 or 6 depending on the line and field standard 6 for the 625/50 standard and 5 for the 525/60 standard to record one field like quadruplex machines.
Головки уже спилены. Отдача с ленты должна быть ровной, а она показывает черте-что. И заломов в сигнале отдачи не должно быть. Поэтому и полосня на изображении и факелит картинка.
The BCN was an interesting machine.. I only ever used one on demo for about three weeks. Nice, but no thanks. What was the first big 2-inch machine...? It looks like a soviet copy of the VR-1200 ?
Exactly my thoughts on both machines… We had a BCN on loan for about a month to evaluate, at the same time as an AVR3. Guess which one won! We played with the 3, but at the time converted to C format.
