- A Massengill commercial dated to 1988, digitized from an LP VHS TV recording.
This tape, labeled "Back in the USSR Frontline 1988", contains the aforementioned program as it aired on Pittsburgh's WQED public broadcast station, along with some other TV programs. After that, cut-off programs from KDKA-TV, KSDK and WPXI play until the tape runs out.
The programs that play go in order:
PBS Frontline "Back in the USSR" (1988)
"Elvis: That's the Way It Is" TV airing (cut off after about 4 minutes)
Randy Travis for "Country Music Crossroads" (Mar. 19, 1988, not the full program)
The Wil Shriner Show ("Secret of Success", cut off at beginning, aired on KDKA-TV)
Days of Our Lives on KSDK
Another World on KSDK
Guiding Light on KDKA-TV
Upscaled to 4K for TH-cam using Lanczos4Resize and deinterlaced with QTGMC, all within StaxRip.
I do not claim to be well versed in the artform of analog media encoding, so I encourage anyone who knows better to give it a try themselves using the RF samples on the archive.org page: archive.org/details/tdk_wqed_ksdk_1988 (not yet available)
Rest of description is a direct paste from archive.org page:
This archive includes the FM RF copies of the analogue format (VHS). The media was captured with two modified VTImage capture cards (CXADC) at 40MSPS for the video signal, and 10MSPS for the VHS Hi-Fi audio.
This is the original signal off of the medium before processing past initial signal tracking and pre-amplification - a raw master digital copy or medium transfer.
Capture hardware used: 2x VTImage capture cards (CXADC) sampling at 40MSPS, overclocked via github.com/namazso/cxadc-clockgen-mod
VCR & Tap setup used: Sony SLV-677HF, PB RF pin 2 on CN261 for video FM RF, CN341 pin 3 for VHS Hi-Fi FM RF
TV System & Tape Format: NTSC, VHS (SP for PBS Frontline, LP for everything else)
