The authors describe a project designed to facilitate rapid transmission of scientific and technical information through expanded use of television and video-tape recording. The basic system utilizes remotely operated video-tape cameras to record and review conferences and lectures. Since the participants are undisturbed by cameramen and equipment, the recordings appear more natural and less staged. The system provides a method for immediate feedback as well as a rapid and economical method for editing. Once the conference or lecture is recorded, the tapes are duplicated for playback on video playback monitors or for release on closed circuit television. Consequently, the system reduces the time required to prepare materials for distribution to interested audiences. (Author/LG)
