It would be better if you're not using AI upscaling the normal clip would have been better

Are you using AI upscaling?

Nice find, never have seen an Ikegami promo video. In my experience all the Ikegami tube-based cameras that I've owned (formerly owned an HL-95B and currently own a HL-79E, plus a "scrap" HL-79E, and possibly may be a future owner of an HL-83) they all have produce poor images compared to the other 3-tube cameras I own, such as the Sony DXC-M3A and BVP-3A. It seems like when they were new they produced good quality images, but after years they go out of alignment or worse, the tubes get worn out. It also doesn't help that they all look like they've been though a warzone, they looked like they were real workhorses back in the day but after so much abuse and not being powered on 30+ years takes a big toll on it. My HL-79E's black balance is all out of wack and produces a horrible pink hue even when the iris is shut. I'm currently trying to restore it, and when I have a decent result I'll upload some footage from it. I will say though, they do design decent power supplies. I have a Sony BVP-300 with a completely dead power supply, probably capacitors. Seems like Ikegami used decent components in their power supplies and they hold up pretty well. That "scrap" HL-79E that I owned was dead and the fault was a bunch of blown transistors and diodes, which was probably caused by some moron applying way too much voltage to the camera. They can handle up to 17 volts so you can run them off a 14.8V battery, but if you go higher than 17 volts you risk damage, like what was done on my scrap 79E. Also, I used to own a Sony BVP-30 that just decided to blow up under normal usage. One moment it produced a great image, then it just died and the smoke came out. One of the Sony ICs was cooked and finding a replacement was impossible, so it went to scrap. Never seen that happen on Ikegami, but I've heard it happening on older Sony tube cameras often. Just as a side note, I wouldn't use AI upscaling for these old videos, as you can see the text on the controls of the camera just look distorted like the typical "AI generated" images you see. I should make a tutorial on how I upscale analog SD video using VapourSynth. I use StaxRip/VapourSynth and nnedi3_rpow2 using LanczosResize for upscaling to 1080p. It could even do 4K if you wanted it to. It does take a while to process and encode to x264 but it produces good results without the "fake AI" look. Maybe one day we will get AI upscaling that looks perfect, but for now I would just stick with standard upscaling methods.

Why did you bother to upscale this to 1080 but NOT convert it to the proper frame rate, and then STRETCHED the picture???

I grew up in a mopar household-- but--- this mustang, and the one in BULLITTwere THE most beautiful cars ever!!

Great production,was this a music video or something you produced?

Kprc is proud to call Houston home

By 1986 rolled around kprc used the Same footage from the same video

The new kprc studios look great on hwy 59

It was torn down in 2020 and replaced with a new building

The station was rebuilt recently

Kprc has been on the air since 1949 and is h town station

Thank you for sharing

Santa’s voice is so deep 💀

Thank you for finding this sign off

Baby, I wonder who you’re with tonight

The music in the sign off announcement is the exact same as what was used at WSM-TV in Nashville. Unless the NFL telecast in question was an Oilers preseason game, This sign off was more likely than not in the overnight hours between Sunday and Monday (Fall 1980). Did the tape come with an exact date or what the matchup of the game in question that night was?

I remember this when I was in 11th grade 😊

Brilliantly restored🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Excellent!

Listen to this with him talking to Tom Scholz...

Brad RIP ❤

I'm going to guess that you are a Sagittarius.

I’m proud of kprc being on the air for 75 years

Let me know

It would be Charles Harrison

Who was the announcer of this sign off

It has a nice groove at night

Thank you for the sign off

Thank you for finding this useful post

Thank you for the sign off

This was really fun to watch. My grandmother worked for Grant's in NY and California

This was the shit back in the day!

Thank you for sharing this as someone who has a small pvm collection I find this very interesting and quality of the video so good thank you

To quote Charlie from Smiling Friends: This is the most obnoxious thing Ive ever experienced in my life.

Outta all the things Ive seen from Filmation, this one might me their most obnoxious project by far! Im sticking to Groovie Ghoulies!😂

i live here and its a beut
