VHS (and betamax) have a spec that allows the CD standard to be recorded digitally onto them directly. Its exactly perfect to allow 44100 samples/second at 16 bit (although the original CD standard was 14 bit and the two spare bits were used for error checking on the tapes). In fact, this was one of the main considerations when it was all being designed to allow people to get masters to the CD press perfectly!

We have two Sony PCM encoders which feed two standard VCRs in order to comply with the Wireless Telegraphy Act

When my brother was producing CDs from a Jazz group we were both involved with, all the mastering was done on a VHS box with a PCM encoder in front. Absolutely perfect.

I'm assuming the compliance with the act is the recording of all output? How long do you have to keep it for?

DRZ, if you happen by the studio and they haven't fixed this yet, the audio levels on the machine that plays out jingles/trailers seem way too low (or at least they are on the web stream). It's been like that for at least an hour now.

Least you can load the site! I've not been able to get it to work for the last few days, keeps timing out.

Nope - I can't load the site either. I'm using the direct link to the stream which is working.

the site's working from here ... and i have to say - i'm impressed so far with this stream

Mark · 08-11-2007, 20:10

Ooh, DRZ, I can hear you.

Edit - I think you have half of Newcastle* heading in your direction right now. Biker Grove indeed.

* Or at least you will when the few who heard that impression pass the message on to the rest.
