END CONTRAST CLAUSE
Transfers: grner1 - 2009.
Video transfer: Maxell HGX 120 VHS master > Sony WV-DR7 > Sony DVMC-DA2 Media Converter > Apple Macintosh Final Cut Pro (minor "nip and tuck" edits including removal of still photo flash washout frames, audio/video synch, filter to mask bottom of screen head switch jitter noise and chaptering) > Compressor > DVD Studio Pro (menu and authoring) > VIDEO_TS file set.
Audio: Monitor soundboard feed with Crown PZM microphones mounted on plexiglass hung on sides of stage (live matrix mix) > unknown model high-end Sony auto-reverse cassette deck master (Dolby C encoded) > Playback on same cassette deck (Dolby C decoded) > PCM Beta tape (Sony SL-HF900 with PCM601ESD PCM adaptor).
Audio transfer: Sony SL-HF1000 > Sony PCM601ESD > SP-DIF digital output > Macintosh with Digidesign Audiomedia III sound card > Pro Tools.
Audio post capture processing in Pro Tools (synch soundboard audio to audience audio track, normalization, a few clicks seamlessly removed, plus a short patch for the cassette flip. Also crowd patches during the encore break and during the show outro after the music ends). Audio placed back into Final Cut Pro before Compressor down-sampling.
Video - NTSC 720x480 VBR 7.7 Mbps peak, 6.2 Mbps average data rate, 2-pass.
Audio - Dolby Digital 2/0 (L,R), 48 kHz sample rate, 384 kbps data rate.
VG video quality with the camera on Joe and whoever is closest to him - usually just the bass and drums (the keyboards are rarely in frame). Quite a bit of camera movement, including occasional reverberation from the bass and crowd enthusiasm on the grandstands. The camera gets blocked some by people walking by which causes the video auto-focus to mess up briefly in those spots. Fortunately the various video problems are made up for a lot by the the EX+ audio quality.
