We do need to pass the knowledge we have all accumulated on, or things will die, and it?s
not just software it?s hardware as well, how to use, maintain and troubleshoot it.
I work in audio/video preservation as a video engineer, we get resumes all the time where
students from the local college tell us about their editing skills for making TicTok
videos or YouTube videos.
But very few have ever seen a Sony Digital Betacam deck let alone opened one up to clean
the tape path, and a 1? BVH-2000 machine blows their mind, and when I tell someone the
Ampex AVR-2 quad machine needs compressed air to run they short circuit like a fembot in
Austin Powers.
