Ampex TBC-2B Direct or Heterodyne Color Digital TBC
       TBC-2B is for use with the Ampex VPR-2B 1" type C broadcast video tape recorder.
       This TBC is essentially a later incarnation of the TBC-1. It contains exactly the same functionality as its predecessor with (possibly) more video memory! I am not sure how much. This information will be posted as soon as the service manual for this beast arrives!

        WANTED: Nothing! I have all manuals for this device.
 

        The TBC-2B contains 14 printed circuit boards. The chassis has 16 slots, but not all are used or are for options. The boards, by slot number, have the following functions assigned:
1 - Not used. 
2 - Color Processor. 
3 - Video Input. 
4 - Analog to Digital Converter. 
5 - Tape H. Comp. 
6 - Tape VCO. 
7 - Memory Control. 
8 - Serial to Parallel Converter & Drop Out Compensator. 
9 - Memory.
10 - Memory.
11 - Memory. 
12 - Memory.
13 - Parallel to Serial Converter & Velocity Compensator. 
14 - Video Output. 
15 - Sync. Generator.
