I 'm in the process of downsizing so I'm selling a few items. My baby is my Ikegami HL43 CA BetaCam SP NTSC broadcast video camera package. The components of this package and their prices when I originally purchased them are as follows:
	Original Price	(Click Photo to see larger Image)

3.) 1 - Sony BVV5 Beta SP camera VCR	12,929.17

6.) 1 - Ikegami Flight Case	300.00
	All original information and instructional manuals are included.

Beta SP is still the standard broadcast equipment base out there (even though digital is rising fast), and this camera system is one of the best Beta SP systems ever made. I've never had a lot of money, so I've always been extremely careful about protecting this camera. It cost me more than my first house - that's a fact!! I bought it new and the day I got it, I put it in the padded Portabrace case.

The only time it has ever been out of the Portabrace case is for external cleaning with Q-tips. In the field, I treated it like gold - which it literally was to me. I never allowed it to be placed directly on the ground - always on a towel or cloth - and I used the rain cover as a dust protector whenever the wind picked up. When it was sitting on the tripod, I would cover it with a plastic trash bag - even though it was protected by a Portabrace case. Whenever it was going to travel more than a few miles, I put it in the flight case to avoid excessive vibration. It has received scheduled head cleaning, but I haven't put enough hours on it to require any other electronic maintenance. There are no nicks, scratches, bent controls, missing knobs, etc. Everything works fine and it looks like new.

The image it produces is incredible. I did some stringer work for CNN and they complimented me on the look of the camera. I heard the same from producers I shot footage for at Phoenix Channel 11. There are two "lazy pixels" on the green channel. They cannot be seen in recorded footage, and are almost invisible on 19dB gain. On normal gain, they cannot be seen. If you want to see some recent footage shot with it, I can supply it. (If you just can't bear the thought of lazy pixels, Ikegami will install a new optical block and align the camera for about $4100.00. You can contact Mr. Terashima through Janice at Ikegami to confirm this. 201-368-9171, Ext. 254.) The weird-looking handle is something I added so I could tape some heavy padding on it. The original handle didn't balance well and was hard on the hands. The plastic ties on the forward part of the handle hold some elliptical metal rings on the handle. Bungee cords are connected to these rings when I move the camera on a cart. I built a special padded base on the cart so that the camera is always in a shock-free upright position when moved. The handle and the ties can be easily removed if you don't like them. You're welcome to view the camera at my studio, fire it up and shoot something with it - or we can even take it to a local video technician of your choice to evaluate it for you - mic the heads or anything reasonable you want done. I'm selling it as a package with everything listed above. You might find other cameras like it for a little less, but never babied like this one - $9,850.00. Bank draft, Money Order or Cash only. Buyer pays shipping and insurance.

Sony UVW-1800 Betacam SP Editing Player/Recorder with UVR-60 TBC - $6000.00

(Click Photo to see larger Image)

I have two of these babies. What great machines they are! Quiet, accurate and trouble free. They have been the "A" and "B" machines in my linear editing bay for the past several years. I only do high-end production, and big projects have been hard to find lately, so these machines haven't had much use at all. The UVR-60 TBCs are a must with these machines. They allow remote control of Video, Chroma, Setup and Hue. If you have concerns about buying something without evaluating its condition, I recommend having them taken to a technician of your choice in the Phoenix area to look them over. They can mic the heads and check everything out for you. They'll be able to tell you exactly what the overall condition of the machines are - or you're welcome to play with them at my studio and check them out. Once again, I really take care of my equipment so these machines are in perfect shape - not a mark anywhere and no electronic problems. I saved the instructional manuals and even the original shipping cartons - so you can have a one-owner, lightly-used 1800 for about two-thirds of what I paid for it. It may be priced a little above some of the others on the net, but try finding one as cherry as these are. If you already have a UVR-60 TBC, you can deduct $200.00 from the price. Terms are: Bank draft, Money Order or Cash only. Buyer pays shipping and insurance.

Cinema Products CameraPrompter (Hard copy, portable, battery-operated /AC teleprompter) - $900.00

(Click Photo to see larger Image)

I bought this teleprompter new for $2593.21. It's adjustable so that it works with industrial and broadcast cameras. This is a really a nice unit - very compact and simple. I added a hardy 12 volt power supply for $150.00 so I could plug it in to AC power as well as run it on any reasonably robust 12 volt battery in the field. Camera batteries work fine. Because it's so light and easy to use, it can be mounted with the camera on moving supports - or even shoulder-carried by a stout camera operator. (You need a pad for the shoulder.) An assistant walks alongside and controls the speed of the copy. A small motor runs the paper roll smoothly forward and backward. There is no computer to worry about and no heavy TV monitors. It works by shining light through thin paper onto a transparent plastic surface right in front of the lens.

If you want your talent to stand a distance from the camera, you just print the words bigger. It's very low tech, and therefore subject to less anomalies than computerized gear. Outside, you don't even have to turn on the light. Daylight provides enough reflected light to see the copy. I always get my script approved in advance, print the talent's copy on the roll, load it onto the cameraprompter, and then go into the field. If you absolutely have to make changes in the field, you can cut and tape sections of paper together. Sure it takes a little time, but for $900.00 you're getting a lot of capability for very little cash. As with all my equipment, this unit is pristine - it works perfect, has it's original manual and is absolutely blemish free. The manual has really clear instructions, but I will send the unit loaded with some copy so the new owner can see how it loads. I will also work with the new owner if they need any practical pointers on how to use it after receiving it. Terms, as with everything else, are: Bank draft, Money Order or Cash only. Buyer pays shipping and insurance.

Pinnacle Alladin - $1200.00
Fully configured with United Media MVS Duo Editor
for A/B roll machine editing - $2200.00

(Click Photo to see larger Image)

The Pinnacle Alladin is an incredible box. This is the original Component Video model (original cost - $13,750.00). It comes with StudioPak software, but the original Alladin software is installed. (The dongles for StudioPak and Inscriber are not included in this package.) The Alladin combines the functions of a broadast-quality switcher/SEG, character generator and paint box. The Alladin produces amazingly clean real-time effects & freeze frames, and it works extremely well with Adobe PhotoShop to create all sorts of graphics and composites with an alpha channel. The alpha channel is used to overlay graphics on video. The box also has limitless luminance key & chroma key capabilities and it comes with tons of premade wipes & transitional effects. Custom effects can be created, previewed and saved for future use. They can be key-framed and previewed in real-time - absolutely no rendering. One of the greatest things about the Alladin is its reliability. This one never malfunctioned and was never down, nor did it require any servicing. I set it up once and it never drifted or went out of adjustment. The operation manuals were written very simply and sparingly - no superfluous techno-drivel - very easy to understand.

The United Media MVS Duo was designed specifically for the Alladin and RS422 controlled VCRS. I used it to control two Sony 1800s and a Sony 2650 in a Beta SP A/B roll system. The Alladin effects, along with the frame accuracy of the MVS Duo, proved to be a great combination. The MVS Duo has loads of controls and options, all of which make A/B roll machine editing a breeze. It also creates an Edit Decision List (EDL) which can be used with on-line editing systems.

The package (above picture) I'm selling has the United Media MVS Duo installed. It contains everything needed but the VCRS to do A/B roll editing. The MVS Duo is fully configured in a PC with internal CD ROM and floppy drives, and external Zip, Optical, and Syquest Drives. Remember those? The PC isn't terribly fast, but it doesn't have to be, because the Alladin does the heavy lifting. Everything works great and there are a lot of extra discs of all types.

Naturally, I have all the software, cables and documentation. These units have been pampered.

Terms: Bank draft, Money Order or Cash only. Buyer pays shipping and insurance.

Tascam CD-601 (Broadcast cue-able audio CD player, which can be triggered by GPI) - $600.00

(Click Photo to see larger Image)

I've been using this unit on and off for several years. New it was $1550.00. It saves a lot of time when you need to add music and/or effects to a video presentation. If you're editing video on a linear system or non-linear system with a GPI, you can cue a music library CD (or any CD) to a precise musical note and trigger it to start from the GPI in your edit controller.

(Click Photo to see larger Image)

So, you don't have to transfer the music from the CD to video tape or a computer file for precise timing, you can cue it to start on a given video frame at the IN point. After a preview, you just press one button to automatically re-cue the 601 to the cue point. It sits there and waits for the GPI over and over again - frame accurately. I use this in combination with the DA-88, below, to produce some really cool sound tracks working on a linear video editing system. Not to be redundant, but this unit is like new, has all documentation and original shipping carton. Terms: Bank draft, Money Order or Cash only. Buyer pays shipping and insurance.
