The CBS/Fox Company (Duplicator): Difference between revisions

Line 23:
**** However on some tapes printed in early 1990, the code would just read something like either "3190" or "3390" instead.
*** In addition to the above mentioned printings, SP mode tapes would have a code on the left (prior to 1986) or the right (after 1986) of the vertical-blanking interval that begins with "MV-GARD" (pre-1978), "MAG" (1978-1980), "MAGVID" (1980-1982), "FOXVID" (1982-1984), "CBSFOX" (1984-1986) or "CFV" (1986-1987). VCA/Technicolor continued this code method, rather beginning with "TVC," for the next decade, following its acquisition of CBS/Fox's duplication facility and name change to Technicolor Videocassette in 1987 and Technicolor Video Services in 1993.
* Most tapes printed after Januarylate 30,January 1990, more than two years after Technicolor's acquisition of CBS/Fox's duplication facility, would have an engraving on the left or right side that indicates the company that distributed it, identical to the engraving on either side of tapes duplicated at Technicolor in California. This never applied to tapes released by CBS/Fox, which would switch over to RVSA a few months later.
